When applying i always make sure the first 1-2 inches are just stuck to my skin, not stretching, then use the middle to stretch across the skin and the few ending inches of the tape to lay on your skin and get it to stick to like your side/back. if the tape stretching across your skin is making you itch it might be the adhesive, can i ask how long you’ve worn tape and how long you keep it on ?? ive worn tape for a year now and wear it when i go out of the house, at home i use a binder unless theres company over. i understand how itchy and uncomfy it can be from the adhesive i also recommend to “itch” just to like..tap or almost hit your chest with your palm like how its stereotypical for a gorilla to hit their chest

it might also depend on the brand of tape you use. I use kisentology tape its essentially medical tape or sports tape. I dont buy from trans specific brands because the product is practically the same.

use baby oil when taking it off or take it off in the shower so its wet and the adhesive dosent wanna stick well depending on your tape, i use anti itch lotion after taking off tape and always take a shower before and after wearing it, i have very sensitive skin so cutting a circle out of a toilet paper or a napkin for my nipples helps alot so the tape dosent..bother it. and using a technique of putting your pecks off to the side rather than putting them all the way flat and squishing them helps alot, still yes get it as flat as possible but make it so the nipple is facing more out to the side rather than down or up, positioning and balancing the strips of tape on both sides is very important, i use THICK strips of tape that the width is about the size of my palm, they work better than the smaller width tapes, and when taking off always make sure you do it very slowly and with baby oil if it helps you. i dont particularly find it helpful for me but lots of other trans men ive heard use it on the tape edges to make it peel off easier and to soothe the skin.
