Wrap Right, Every Time

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

Zinc Oxide Tape FAQs:

Strong Support, Injury Prevention & Recovery

Zinc Oxide Tape for Ankles

Zinc oxide tape is widely used to support ankle joints during football, rugby, netball and other sports where quick changes of direction place additional stress on the ankle.

Zinc Oxide Tape for Wrists

The rigid, non-stretch design makes zinc oxide tape ideal for wrist support during weightlifting, boxing, martial arts and gym training.

Zinc Oxide Tape for Fingers

Many athletes use zinc oxide tape on fingers and thumbs to provide additional support while maintaining grip and dexterity.

Zinc oxide tape is a rigid, non-stretch sports tape used to support and stabilise joints during training and competition. It is commonly applied to ankles, wrists, fingers and thumbs to help limit excessive movement, provide additional support and reduce the risk of injury. It is widely used in football, rugby, boxing, weightlifting and other high-impact sports.

Zinc oxide tape is designed to provide firm joint support and restrict movement, making it ideal for strapping and injury prevention. Kinesiology tape is elastic and is used to support muscles and encourage natural movement. If you need rigid support and stability, zinc oxide tape is usually the better choice.

It’s made from premium rayon fabric, giving it greater strength, durability, and rigidity than standard cotton tapes.

No - it’s completely non‑stretch, ideal for controlled, high‑support strapping.

Yes. It’s perfect for ankles, wrists, fingers, and pre‑match rigid strapping.

Very. The strong zinc oxide adhesive keeps the tape secure through sweat and movement.

It’s designed for single‑session use, providing stable support throughout training or matches.

Yes. Zinc oxide tape is one of the most popular tapes for ankle strapping in sports such as football, rugby and netball. Its rigid, non-stretch construction helps provide additional stability and support during training and matches.

Yes. Many athletes use zinc oxide tape on fingers and thumbs to help support joints while maintaining grip and control. It is particularly popular in rugby, basketball, climbing and martial arts.

No. Zinc oxide tape is designed to be completely non-stretch. This allows it to provide firm, controlled support where movement restriction is required, making it ideal for joint stabilisation and sports strapping.

Zinc oxide tape is designed to stay securely in place during sport and can withstand sweat and light moisture. However, prolonged exposure to water may reduce its adhesive performance, so it is best suited to dry sporting conditions and short-term use.

To remove zinc oxide tape safely, peel it back slowly in the direction of hair growth while supporting the skin with your other hand. If the adhesive is particularly strong, using warm water or an adhesive remover can make removal more comfortable.

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.

I am very happy with this high performance sports tape, I got it to strap up my big toes for football and its worked perfectly for me. The quality is good, the tape is easy to use, strong and sticks very well and I feel its good value for money.

Really decent size roll of zinc oxide tape, wider than most others I've used & the fabric is very soft to the touch. Out of the box the adhesive smell is fairly strong so I'd recommend unpackaging to air it out before use.

Tears cleanly from the edges with a bit of stretch & force, once applied it stays put through sweat & motion but still removes cleanly after activity without pulling hair or causing discomfort.

This is a great tape to use to tape up when joints need additional support during exercise. I tape up areas of my feet which are prone to blisters when hiking. I would say that this tape was very strong and good for this purpose, but personally I would have preferred it to be more stretchy for more comfortable protection around my toes and feet. To summerise, great tape for knee and joint support, maybe not so good for toes!

Good value roll of standard Zinc Oxide tape, lasts a while and does the job. It's sticky enough to stay put but doesn't rip your flesh off when removed so no complaints there. Quality is better than unbranded tapes so you get a better product overall compared to some.
