I have been using Kinesiology tape for years and love it. It has helped me with leg and Achilles pain, shoulders, arms and neck pain too. I am pretty picky about Kinesiology tape and have found my favorite brand to be Hampton brand which comes in a big roll (2 inches wide by 135 feet long). It is $45. Comparing to this product, the cost of this product is $38 for four 3 inch wide by 15 inches for a total of 60 inches (5 feet long total). So you can see this is quite a bit more expensive than buying a bulk roll of tape.
The unique thing about this product is that it is much wider than most kinesiology tape (3 inches vs. 2 inches), plus it is precut especially for the hip with 5 inches split down the middle. The corners are cut really nicely rounded. With a bulk roll you would have to cut specially for the split and round corners.
The other thing is this is made specifically to target the hip with clear instructions on the back of the tape (step 1,2,3) with instruction on where and how to apply it. There is also an online video on this product page so you can learn how to do it properly with visual instruction. I love that! I have spent hours looking at kinesiology instructions online for various ailments, so this product really is a time saver.
The quality of the product is superb too. It stays in place and has the elasticity I would expect from a professional quality kinesiology tape. It doesn’t leave a sticky residue after removing either.
I am giving this a 5-star rating because it is good quality, functions well, easy to use, superior instructions, precut, etc. It is expensive, but I think very much worth it if you are looking to use Kinesiology tape on your hip. It is for someone who has never applied K-tape before.
I would however recommend having someone like a friend or partner apply it. You can apply it yourself, but it will turn out better if you have someone do it for you - especially with the price, you don’t want to blow it on the application!
