A reusable, releasably fastening tape (12). A double sided (14, 18) releasably fastening tape (12) is provided with a hook (16) and loop (20) type fastening mechanism for self sticking. The tape (12) has perforations (108) therein and cutout portions (106) therefrom, which lend flexibility to the tape, enabling better taping, especially with thicker taping materials. Ideally, the cutout portions (106) are staggered along the edges, and perforations (108) are staggered along offsetting rows, wherein cutouts (106) are adjacent laterally but toward the opposite edge (110) of the tape from a perforation (108). The tape is useful for taping athletes, thus avoiding use of disposable type conventional adhesive tape.
