Kinesio tape = 10% stretch of the paper. Can stretch to 100%. Its made to comply with the skin.
The "proper" tape would be Kinesiotape Tex or Classic promoted by Dr. Kenzo..

Works for everything from edema to neurological improvement - if used correctly.

To be fair, many brands do make a suitable knock-off, but Dr. Kenzo invented the theory and the tape, hence his tape would be the proper one.

I use it every day in my practice.
