So I don’t know if any of you other nighttime mouth breathing apnea ridden cpap wearing folks have seen this add for hostage tape pop up on your Facebook feed, but I did and I ordered some. $25 for a 30 day supply. But check this out. I pulled out a pair of scissors and cut the kinesiology tape into the same shape as the hostage tape and compared them… Same shape, same color, same texture, same adhesive pattern on the back, same adhesion, and the EXACT SAME EFFECT. What’s not the same? Two rolls of 2 inch by 16 foot rolls of kinesiology tape cost me $6…. Yeah… clever marketing but the markup is ridiculous. I wonder what companies kinesiology tape they use to cut them into the oblong shape…

Predatory marketing. Absolutely NO transparency. What is it made of? Where is it manufactured? Who manufactures it? Is it done ethically? Ask them questions and they harass you. Product left a rash and it’s impossible to know what caused it as they won’t tell me the ingredients. Just get kinesiology tape and let this company disappear into the social media black hole it came from.

The tape leaves residue around your mouth and causes irritation from the adhesives. I was a late in my reply for a refund because of travel, so you got me... Tired of these BS companies that could care less about their customers. I would say drinking some calming tea before bed would be much more effective than this gimmick.

Hostage Tape refused to honor their 100% 30-day refund policy. I ordered 6 packets to gift to my family for the holiday. I contacted them 2 weeks after ordering to let them know that we had to use 2-3 tapes per night because they were falling off. The support individual recommended I continue to try using it while applying the tape with a different method. We tried the new method and it didn't work, and we used the rest of the tape. I contacted them again for a refund or a replacement but was denied. They stated that they would only issue a refund if I shipped the product back to them. Their refund policy at the time stated that it was a 100% money back guarantee, and nothing was written about shipping product back. I sent several emails that were ignored, and then my request was denied. Since this happened, they updated their refund policy on the website to say that unused product needs to be returned and is subject to a restocking fee. I have screen shots of their refund policy & their terms & conditions prior to my email, and all it stated was 100% 30-day money back guarantee (nothing about needing to send unused product). If there was the ability to upload photos I would share the old refund policy here. Very shady and poor business practice, plus terrible customer service.
