Washing Restores Stickiness - Reusable
Adhesive Silicone

Designed for repeated use, our medical-grade adhesive silicone maintains its grip and performance even after washing offering long-lasting support without waste.

  • Cost-Effective

  • Sustainable

Stick Adhesive
Stretchable Silicone

This product is designed to replicate up to 80% of the effects of kinesiology taping, using stretchable silicone material for easier and more convenient application.
  • Easy Application

Body Mapping

AlignX technology applies advanced body mapping to mirror the way muscles move, delivering precise support and alignment that enhances performance and prevents strain.

  • Auto-Alignment Design

  • Effortless Wear

Wave Design Mimics Taping
Providing Breathability

AlignX’s signature wave pattern replicates the effects of kinesiology taping while maintaining airflow through the fabric, delivering breathable, non-restrictive support during movement.

  • Breathable Support

silicone stretches with
the fabric & durable

Built to move with you, AlignX’s silicone stretches seamlessly with the fabric, maintaining durability and consistent support through every workout and wash.

  • Built to Move

  • Durability Tested

faster & easier to wear
than kinesiology tape

AlignX delivers the benefits of kinesiology taping, without the hassle, so you can slip it on in seconds and get moving with targeted support right away.

  • No Tape Fuss

  • Support in Seconds

Cushiony Taping

Soft, cushion-like silicone mimics the feel of taping while offering gentle support and all-day comfort, without irritation or stiffness.

  • All-Day Comfort

  • Soft Compression

Clinically Tested for Skin Safety

A skin sensitization evaluation showed that the test article caused no reaction after repeated exposure and challenge. Therefore, the material is classified as having no allergenic potential, meaning it is very unlikely to trigger allergic skin responses in users.

Testing performed by KTR (Korea Testing & Research Institute), a KOLAS-accredited laboratory, under ISO 10993-10 skin sensitization and irritation protocols.

While AlignX™ has passed skin sensitization and irritation tests, individual skin reactions may vary. If you experience redness, itching, or any unusual discomfort, stop using the product immediately and gently cleanse the area and consult a doctor.

Compared to Kinesiology Tape

AlignX™ (formally BWAS™) recreates the stable adhesion of kinesiology tape by up to 80% .
