I agree with pretty much all of this. As for cost, like I mentioned, there are other brands besides KT. Search for “kinesiology tape”. Here’s one I’ve been using that works really well and holds amazingly good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071G6YJ12?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app It comes in beige, tan, and I think brown.

What I do to make it last is cut the strip in half length-wise then cut those in half width-wise and bingo, 4 small strips that work great. I will never use another kind of tape.

My two cents on the advantages over paper tape are right in line with u/growitback42. Just try it and experiment. I have been “stuck on it” (haacha-cha) since I discovered it can force the artificial foreskin to act like the real thing and feel totally natural.
