My daughter , two weeks ago , she said she wants to ask santa that I never get old . I asked why ? She said like that I can always remain handsome . That was sweet <| sep |> Can ' t say that about the Browns this year . <| sep |> The clear tape you are referring to is likely 3 M Transpore . Are you OK with paper tape ? If the answer is yes then most likely you are victim of stretching . Nurses love to stretch plastic backed tapes and the stretching causes serious irritation . Also almost no one removes it correctly . They would be pulling it back over itself slowly . Almost all the medical tape in the world uses an acrylate adhesive 99 % except for a few specialty tapes that use silicone . Many use the same chemical acrylate too , the way it is put on and the backing material makes a huge difference in how each performs .
