I've gone back to 2"X2" Avant drain sponges and tape but I use Sureprep and that takes a lot of the sting out of using paper tape all the time. It looks like an alcohol prep but its like a varnish and acts like a buffer between the skin and the tape. The tape sticks well but doesn't tear out my skin.
