Sport Tabs FAQUpdated an hour ago

Sport Tabs are our strongest-hold tabs, built for the moments regular tabs give out: mid-race, mid-rep, mid-heat. Here are answers to the most common questions.

What are Sport Tabs?

Sport Tabs are tabs designed for intense physical activity and heavy sweat. They hold for up to 10 hours of sweat and work with the same reusable Intake Band you already own.

  • 2 x Strong Adhesive reformulated for a much stronger hold
  • Breathable, micro-perforated tape that lets sweat vapor escape instead of pooling underneath
  • Larger steel discs that keep your Band locked in through high-impact movement

How are Sport Tabs different from Intake Signature Tabs?

AdhesiveStandardMuch stronger, three-layer
Wear for sleepYesNot recommended


Do I need a new Band? No. Sport Tabs work with the Intake Band you already have.

Are Sport Tabs safe for my skin? Yes. The adhesive is certified skin-safe, hypoallergenic, and latex-free.

What comes in a Sport Tabs pack? Each pack includes 20 Sport Tabs (two envelopes of 10) plus alcohol wipes to prep your skin before applying.

How much do Sport Tabs cost?

  • Refill Plan: $29.99/month for a 20-day supply
  • One-time purchase: $34.99

How do I apply Sport Tabs for the best hold?

  1. Cleanse your nose: Wash away sunscreen, oils, moisturizer, or makeup, which block the adhesive from bonding to your skin.
  2. Prep with an alcohol wipe: Wipe the sides of your nose with the included alcohol wipe and let the skin dry completely.
  3. Apply and press: Place the Tabs on clean, dry skin and press firmly for 10–15 seconds before attaching your Band.

How do I remove Sport Tabs?

Because the adhesive is much stronger, you can use water to remove them. Dampen your nose with warm water for a few seconds, then slowly peel the Tabs off from the edges. Use a damp cloth to clear any leftover adhesive, then apply your regular moisturizer.

Can I wear Sport Tabs to sleep?

Sport Tabs are not intended for sleep. For overnight use, we recommend Intake Signature Tabs. If you do wear Sport Tabs overnight, dampen your nose with water before removing them.

My Intake Signature Tabs aren't sticking. What should I do?

First, make sure your skin is clean and completely dry before applying (see the application steps above). If you're still having trouble with the adhesive on your Signature Tabs, email us at [email protected] and we'll make it right.
