It's compairable, but the silk stuff doesn't stick to well when it' very wet. On the positive side, it's hypoallergenic.

I ave a roll of leukosilk as normal-use tape and a roll of athletics-tape as 'trauma-tape'

Yes there are latex free bandaids. They are normally a cloth bandaids and can usually be found at a drug store. Ask he Pharmacist for help if you can't find them.

Silk tape has different brand names, such as leuko-silk and durapore. If you go to a pharmacy, they've probably got some.
