Keep in mind my reasoning might not hold true for everyone.

The continue cost of buying tape adds up. Well in my opinion T-tape is a premium device. Each one you put on is like a brand new device, they never get old and worn out, just continually replaced. How much is your comfort worth?

Tape residue: I never think about this issue because I never get residue. Maybe certain tapes get it. I use Hypafix or BSN Cover-Roll. Try adding some extra virgin olive oil and water to the tape before removing. Let soak for 5 minutes, comes off with ease. Roll the skin slowly off the tape.

Time it takes to make tape: Playing a podcast or audio book in the background, or jamming to your favorite music. Are you really wasting time? Making T-tape is fun and I even offer to make for others for various reasons.

Time it takes to put on a T-tape: No no no, got this one backward. I waist more time putting on a conical/domed gripper device trying to get a somewhat decent grip. These devices also take more inconvenience at the restroom even if it allows pee through. Okay pee through packers do fine with pee through because there is no outer weight involved. The smell of unventilated urine isn't pleasant. Many times the gripper gets wet and that causes slippage. Still, retract to pee is quite the exclusive T-tape feature.

Skin reactions to tape: There are other tapes out there. Try Hampton Adams perhaps, they say their tapes are made with a unique adhesive different than most others. Perhaps all tapes give reactions, what if you alternate between POE and POD. I have yet to find someone sensitive to tapes willing to try. Or try POE to POD to Manual. Continually alternate to minimize how long the tape is stuck to one particular area. Still reactive? I'd opt to do manual, I'm kinda a manual + T-tape tugger only type of restorer.

The one con I can figure is for spontaneous sex. If your single like myself it's not a problem. A small fix might be to wear a bracelet indicating that your T-tape is on and not wanting intimacy. But hey I get it, this is probably one of the main reasons the conical clamp was in invented. And also the lesser learning curve keeps it a more popular choice.

The learning curve: I actually find it easier to T-tape due to my struggles with getting an ideal grip. T-tape is also easier to start off with at lower CI-levels. Alternatively, you can start off with manual. T-tape isn't a requirement to get to get started with. In fact that's how I started and skipped anything to do with tape. I wish I had known not to fear the tape. The issues rumored about tapes are not issues at all but for some that didn't give it enough of a try.

My question remains: Have you been Kraven Tape? Kraven a foreskin?
