3.8cm kinesiology tape is slightly narrower than standard 5cm elastic therapeutic tape (typically an inch and a half), falling somewhere between the more common 5cm (2-inch) width and the narrower 2.5cm (1-inch) width for delicate areas. The 3.8cm therapeutic tape is ideal for medium-sized joints and muscle groups, such as the wrists, elbows, Achilles tendons, neck, or small calf muscles. It is often used for taping children, thinner athletes, or specific techniques, as standard 5cm tape covers too large an area and may cause premature wrinkling or flaking.
