What's the best tape for cuts or flappers close to the finger tip?

Leukotape P or Evolv Magic Tape. Luekotape is the stickiest tape out there and the texture provides better grip than any white tape. Evolv tape is nice because it sticks to itself only and doesn’t make your skin wet underneath. It’s really nice to session with it on and remove for a send go (or just leave on since it has decent grip)

Thanks! My Austrian friend recommended Leukotape but for some reason we thought it didn't ship to the US. Do you have a link for the specific kind of Leukotape for climbing? Or do you mean this: amazon.com/BSN-Medical-BEI0…;qid=1575734851&sr=8-1

I agree that Luekotape is the stickiest, but not that it has better grip than white tape. I find that until I have gotten chalk on the Luekotape that it is actually slicker than any other tape and slicker than skin, but once I put chlk on it, it feels about as sticky as skin. That is what Iike about it, and IMO it is the best tape out there by a large margin.

Leukotape P. It doesn’t stretch either. I’ve worn it all day for injuries (not on tips as much) and it stays the same.

I usually will throw a bandaid or normal athletic down over the flapper and then wrap over it with hockey tape! Hockey tape has rubber so it’ll grip when wet or chalked up.
