im not sure if brand makes too much of a difference but i did like these. i used cica tape for a few months and didnt really like how they felt
I get this kind: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OV3M3AW?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-ypp-rep_ypp_rep_k0_1_6&amp&crid=1E4JFIKGDXLVZ&amp&sprefix=mepita
It works super well. I usually wear it for 4 days. I stick it to a non-stick parchment paper while I shower and then just put it back on. By the fourth day it doesn’t stick anymore.
On longer shoots using it day in and day out it can start to cause problems. When I did The Hunt, after 3-4 weeks poor Betty Gilpin started getting itchy from transpore, and I had asked on day 1 if she had any skin allergies or if she had any problems with me taping anything to her skin. I switched to moleskin or used Mepitac and didn’t run into any more problems.

I had to wait for my glue to come off (about 4 wks). My incisions were closed by the time the glue came off and that’s when I started taping. Incisions have to be healed.
