Where is the cheapest place to buy the Nexcare micropore tape. Can't find it in the stores so guess I need to go online., Thanks

You might want to try WalMart. They have a good brand of paper tape for very reasonable. It's not NexCare, but it works well.

I've seen the 3M (Nexcare) micropore tape in Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, etc. If you don't see it, ask someone. It really should be there.

Good luck!

I've never seen the 2 inch size in a store ( it might be available somewhere though), but I've been lucky to have a good source who works at a medical supply company.
You may have to buy it online.
If you can get by with the one inch size, Walmart has a pretty good price on it.

I looked at my tape when I got home and realized I had 1" tape however, I did look at Walgreens.com and found this info:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/product. ... d=prod4654

It may not be carried in all their stores but it's probably worth a phone call.

That's one source.

Many stores only carry the one-inch size. Walgreen said they would order the two-inch size for me for $6.99 so I would save the shipping cost from ordering online.

I find that the 1" works just as good at the 2". Give it a try.
