I purchased this to prevent pain from an episiotomy after childbirth. I used it at home for a short while, but I no longer use it, so I am selling it. There is no tape, but there are no issues with the product's functionality. It is a high-quality made-in-Japan product that I purchased for around ¥8,000 at the time. It has been stored at home, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I am not considering lowering the price because shipping costs will likely be quite high, but it is a high-quality item that can be used for a long time.
