I'm a grappler and I'm looking for a tape to keep me covered even with the sweat.

I'd suggest 3M durapore cloth tape. It's what I use.

ReJuveness is very expensive ($9.50 for 33 ft roll, 2 in. wide), but it is very popular for restoring. It's soft and meshy, and a little stretchy in the width direction. Get it at ReJuveness.com, or at TLCTugger.com if you don't want to order a dozen rolls at a time. It's on my Canister Method page.

A cheaper alternative is Mefix. The main difference is that the ReJ has a split backing comprised of two 1-inch strips that can be removed one at a time. This REALLY helps in handling for some of the methods; start the tape with half the backing still in place. The Mefix has 2-piece backing but the dividing line is wavy, so it's not as big of a plus. It's about 60% of the cost if you shop around and order at least 5 rolls.

I have some Mefix right now if anyone wants to buy a roll or a sample.

Ron,
I think he was asking about tape for crosstaping for when he's not manual tugging. If so, I like the Durapore for that.

The Your-Skin Cone does that job with no fuss, no muss.

What?
The Your-Skin Cone keeps your skin in a covering state, exactly like cross taping, but without tape.

I SELL it (in the interest of full disclosure).

Naturally, the CAT II RO is a fine tugger/packer, and the Your-Skin Cone is an excellent retainer. For the effects of cross-taping with no tape or fuss, the Your-Skin Cone is ideal.

The reason I said what is cause I need a tape to keep me covered while grappling. The cone would fall off in like .01 seconds.

Jason1,
Have you had any success with tape yet?
