Pick the right tape for your needs
How to apply
- Prep the area: Clean, dry skin; remove oils, sweat, or lotions.
- Anchor + wrap: Start with a light anchor, then wrap or lay the tape in smooth, even lines with controlled tension.
- Follow the shape: Move along the muscle or joint in the direction of support, avoiding wrinkles or gaps.
- Secure the finish: End with a firm but comfortable anchor; check circulation and adjust if too tight.
Once it’s on, you’re supported, secure, and ready to move with confidence

Used loads of brands over the years, this one's right up there.
No lifting round the edges even after football. Brilliant.
used this for my ankle and it didnt budge once. top stuff
Does what it says on the tin. Cant fault it.
We run an adult Saturday football side and get through plenty of tape over the course of a season. Ankles, wrists, fingers... there's always someone needing patching up before kick-off.
We usually start by ordering the Football Matchday Kit because it's a really good bundle and gives us all the basics we need with the Zinc Oxide Tape, Cohesive Bandage and Sock Wrap. It's great value compared to buying everything separately. Then every now and then we'll top up with a few extra rolls of Zinc Oxide or finger tape when we're getting through it quicker than usual.
The quality has been brilliant. The Zinc Oxide Tape stays put even in horrible weather and our physio likes how easy it is to work with. We've had far fewer complaints about tape coming loose compared to the previous brand we used.
Customer service has been spot on too. Had a couple of questions before our first order and got a proper helpful response rather than a generic sales pitch.
We'll definitely be sticking with Locked In for the season ahead.
I've been a sports physio for just over 12 years and go through a ridiculous amount of tape every week between footballers, runners and rugby players. We started ordering from Locked In a couple of months ago after another supplier kept letting us down on stock.
The Zinc Oxide Tape has been excellent. Strong adhesive, tears cleanly by hand and I haven't had athletes coming back saying it's peeled off halfway through training. The kinesiology tape has also held up really well and doesn't seem to irritate skin as much as some cheaper brands we've used in the past.
One thing I particularly like is that the quality has been consistent from roll to roll, which isn't always the case. Delivery has been quick every time and pricing is fair enough that we'll probably stick with them going forward.

honestly wasnt expecting much but its actually really good
Been using it for rugby training every week. No complaints at all.
Best tape I've used in ages. Doesn't peel off after 20 mins like my old stuff.
Used it for netball and it held up all game. Will buy again.
Really impressed. Sticks well and comes off without making a mess.
This stuff is great. Was recommended it by my personal trainer and he absolutely nailed it
i like alot
will be coming back for more when this runs out
