Protect your hands and keep rowing.

Eucatape is a eucalyptus-infused athletic tape designed for rowers who want to protect their hands from blisters, hot spots, cuts, and irritation while maintaining a strong grip on the oar.

Unlike bulky rowing gloves, Eucatape conforms to your hands and fingers so you can protect problem areas without sacrificing feel or control.

Why rowers choose Eucatape:

  • Helps protect hands from rowing blisters and friction
  • Eucalyptus-infused adhesive
  • Strong, flexible cotton athletic tape
  • Helps maintain grip and feel on the oar
  • Easy to apply to fingers, palms, and common blister areas
  • Available in multiple colors

Whether you're training on the erg, practicing on the water, or racing, Eucatape gives rowers targeted hand protection where they need it most.

HEALS

Eucatape is infused with eucalyptus oil that soothes blisters, cracks, and cuts with its natural anti-inflammatory properties and leaves your skin feeling soft with no sticky residue.

PROTECTS

Eucatape features incredibly durable fabric tape that keeps your hands protected from blisters and gives you a better grip without any slip whether you’re using an indoor rowing machine or getting wet outdoors sculling / rowing with a crew.

BETTER

Traditional rowing gloves slip up when they get wet and don’t work to strengthen your hands. Eucatape not only heals and protects your hands but also strengthens, as if you were rowing without gloves.

TIPS

Here are a few helpful tips for applying Eucatape to best serve you if you’re wondering where to start or just want some insight from us:Β 

β€’ No rower is the same, but a common issue for many is blisters and cracks on the palms of the hands and on the fingers. Traditional athletic tape and some rowing gloves aren’t great at staying put and preventing those cuts and blisters. But if you wrap some Eucatape on those hot spots, you’ll find that it protects well, is durable, and won’t slip off while you’re rowing.

β€’ Of course, rowing calluses are common and a sign of dedication to the sport, but there is nothing quite like the pain of a ripped callus, regardless of what sport you participate in. Luckily Eucatape can be used to protect those when rowing and will even provide a cooling sensation to help rejuvenate your fingers and hands.Β 

These are just a few uses, but Eucatape is designed to be used by YOU for YOUR needs, so use it how you see fit!

How did Eucatape Start?
For the past 13 years (over 130 shows a year), I've been using tape to protect my hands while playing. One fateful day my wife convinced me to visit a spa with her, and with much hesitance, I ended up going. While I was there, I noticed an overwhelmingly relaxing scent in the air. The massage therapist told me it was Eucalyptus. Then and there, a lightbulb went off in my head. I started thinking, "Why are my feet so ticklish", no, I'm kidding, I instead found myself wondering if I could incorporate this amazing smell with the tape I use on my hands when playing drums.

I began infusing my hand drumming tape with Eucalyptus and found that it not only had a soothing element to it, it actually enhanced the way I played. I felt as if I could play longer, and because of the smell, I enjoyed my drumming environment more. As a bonus, the healing qualities in Eucalyptus meant my hands weren't hurting as much. Eucalyptus is a powerful little plant that has transformed the way I work, and I hope that it will bring healing to others as well.Β

Wonderful stuff

"The adhesive is really really powerful, which helps it stick to my skin really comfortably. It smells good, and gives great grip on the oar too!"

Emmet L. (5/5)

Like it but wish it was narrower

"I like the tape but wish it came in half the width also. I have to cut it or rip it in half in order to tape my fingers the way I like, and that's annoying and takes time. And I noticed from the photos on the website other users are doing that as well. So hey! Make us a narrower version!"

COSTANZA B. (5/5)

Great product

"My husband always got blisters on his hands from exercising. Since he’s started using the tape, he’s noticed a significant change. Added bonus is the smell!"

REBECCA S. (5/5)

Great product for hands, tippers & sticks

"Great product! Not only am I buying this tape to help my hands, but also to upgrade my tipper and bundle sticks. I was using athletic kinesiology tape, but it doesn't it isn't as thick or adhere as well as DrumNerd. Plus, Drumnerd is infused with eucalyptus oil. Preserves the wood and my hands."

Amazon C. (5/5)

Loving this tape!

"My buddy told me about this stuff and it’s working out great! Smells phenomenal, and it stays on perfectly! Will buy again for sure!"

John (5/5)

Works if you wrap a lot

"Updated 11/30/20: Update from my original review after receiving a couple new canisters from the owner. You need to wrap this multiple times around your palm in order for it to stay in place for very long. If you sweat it will still loosen a bit, but it doesn't seem to find completely apart as long as you do this. One wrap around will not stay on. I've added an additional photo to show after a 45 min row. That said, I have used the tape all of five times and I'm almost out. It also leaves a sticky film on my handle that is a pain to get off. I'm changing this to a four star review after using it with multiple layers of wrap because it does do what it advertised. Don't think I'll keep using it for rowing but I think it would work well for yard work. Original review: I got this tape for my home rowing machine and have not used it on an actual scull. The first time I used it it fell off pretty fast so I tweaked how I taped it and tried again. The next time it took 8 minutes to loosen (Yes, I actually timed it. See the first photo). Tried tweaking the wrap again and the next time it took about 20 minutes for me to notice it loosening. Basically, if your hands sweat then forget about it. Don't know how it would work outside or in the water, but if my experience is any indication then I'd say pretty poorly. Guess I'll just invest in some gloves. I will say that I will keep using it to protect parts of the fingers because they stayed on there's slightly better whereas the palm came clean off. Don't know if I'll ever buy it again, though. I feel like simple medical tape would work just as well."

Christina W. (4/5)

Loving this tape!

"This tape is legit. Stays put whether using it inside or outside and really protects my hands. My daughter and I have been using it and I think we're addicted!"

Amazon C. (5/5)

Eucatape was an Incredible Buy! Great Product!

"As a rower, I am happy that I purchased this eucalyptus infused rowing tape. My hands have never felt better or more comfortable when rowing. The other incredible side benefit was that I started raking and then decided to put the Eucatape on my hands to avoid calluses and the normal cuts I get. This was THE BEST solution. In fact, my handle broke off the rake, so I used the tape to make it easier for me to grab the rake when cleaning the yard. Thanks Drum Nerd for an awesome product and glad I found another use for it!"

Kel (5/5)

Awesome stuff!

"I love how sticky it is - can cut in any shape and it will adhere. The smell is much better than a normal bandaid, it also looks flashier (“hey, I’m a rower!”) and the extra healing properties also beats bandaids."
