STRAP is a body tape made from bamboo fibre instead of plastic film, built for anyone who tapes a joint before a run, a lift, or a long day on their feet. It's strong enough to hold a knee or shoulder in place, but breathable enough to wear all day without irritation. The adhesive is gentle on skin, so it's a fit for anyone who's had a reaction to standard sports tape before. Tear off what you need, apply it, and get moving.
Why Choose STRAP Bamboo Body Tape?
- Bamboo Fibre, Not Plastic Film: Most athletic tape is a plastic film with a synthetic adhesive; STRAP swaps that for bamboo fibre, so the tape itself is biodegradable and plastic-free.
- Gentle, Hypoallergenic Adhesive: The tape is free of latex and acrylics and suitable for all skin types, so it won't leave the red rash strip a standard tape can.
- Easy-Tear Perforations: No scissors needed — tear off the length you want on the go, whether you're taping between sets or mid-hike.
- B Corp Certified Maker: PATCH is a Certified B Corporation, meaning the company meets verified standards for social and environmental performance.
- 5cm x 5m Roll: A full 5.5 yd (5 m) roll at 5 cm wide gives enough length for repeat taping across a training block, not just a single application.
Perfect For
- Athletes and lifters who tape a knee, ankle or shoulder before training and want a support tape that won't irritate the skin underneath
- Anyone who has reacted to latex or acrylic adhesive in standard sports tape and needs a hypoallergenic alternative
- Hikers and travellers who want a compact roll of joint support tape that tears off cleanly without scissors
- Shoppers building out a first aid and pain relief kit who want fewer plastic products in it
- Anyone doing daily rehab or injury prevention taping who reapplies often and wants a tape that breaks down after use instead of piling up as plastic waste

FAQs
What is STRAP bamboo body tape made from, and is it different from regular athletic tape?
STRAP is made from bamboo fibre rather than the plastic film used in standard athletic tape, and its adhesive is free of latex and acrylics. That makes it biodegradable and plastic-free where a typical roll of sports tape is not.
How do I apply STRAP body tape?
Make sure the area is clean, dry and free of any ointment, then measure the length you need and tear it off at the perforation. Apply it firmly to the area for support, but not so tightly that it restricts circulation - simply re-tape if it feels too tight.
Is this tape hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, STRAP is hypoallergenic and made without latex or acrylics, so it's suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
How much tape is on one roll?
Each roll measures 5 cm x 5 m (1.97 in x 5.5 yd), giving enough length for repeated taping rather than a single use.
Is PATCH's bamboo body tape vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, STRAP is vegan and cruelty-free, and PATCH is a Certified B Corporation, meeting verified standards for environmental and social performance.
