Generally speaking, it is a matter of the customer’s preference, but tape patches are more appropriate for use on moveable areas, such as joints, as they have excellent adhesion. Furthermore, tape patches contain no moisture, and so they are suitable for people who do not like the cold tingling sensation of compresses when they are applied.
