Droopy eyelids are a common problem for many people, especially women. Droopy eyelids can make the eyelid appear heavier than it actually is and can lead to a tired or unruly appearance. A simple and inexpensive way to treat droopy eyelids is with the use of eyelid tape. But what size is right for droopy eyelid tape?
First, it's important to understand what eyelid strips are and how they work. Eyelid strips are small, transparent strips made of medical-grade silicone or other material that are applied to the eyelid. Applying the strip to the eyelid reduces the weight of the eyelid and lifts it. The result is a more awake and fresher appearance.
The size of the eyelid strips you should choose depends on the size of your eyelid. There are typically three sizes of eyelid strips: small, medium, and large. Most brands also offer a mix of different sizes in a set so you can choose the size that best suits you.
At WUNDERTAPE we even offer four sizes: S, M, L, XL.
Below you can see our size guide.
To choose the right size, measure the width of your eyelid at its widest point and then select the appropriate size. If you're unsure what size you need, you can also try a set of different sizes to see which one fits your eyelid best.
It's also important to note that there are different types of eyelid tapes suitable for different types of droopy eyelids. For example, if you have very heavy droopy eyelids, you may want to use a stronger and larger strip to lift the eyelid.
Overall, eyelid tapes are a simple and effective way to treat droopy eyelids and achieve a more awake and fresh appearance. Simply choose the right size and type of strip for your needs to achieve the best possible results.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How does the thickness of the eyelid influence the choice of tape size?
The size of your droopy eyelid tape also depends on the thickness of your eyelid. For thinner eyelids, you'll want smaller tapes; for slightly thicker eyelids, we recommend a larger tape. This will help you achieve the desired lifting effect.
Droopy eyelid tapes: What size is recommended based on skin elasticity?
In addition to the thickness of your eyelid, the elasticity of your skin also plays an important role. On tighter and younger skin, medium-sized droopy eyelid tapes adhere much better, creating a natural effect. However, if your skin is less elastic, you should opt for larger products, as these offer more adhesive surface area. This effectively lifts your eyelids.
What role does eye shape play in choosing the right tape size?
For small or almond-shaped eyes, narrower droopy eyelid strips are the right choice, as they fit much better into the crease. If you have larger or round eyes, we recommend wider strips. This will give you a stronger lift for a greater wow effect.
How does the position of the natural eyelid crease influence the choice of tape size?
If your eyelid crease is very deep and barely visible, you'll definitely need larger eyelid tapes to visually lift your eyelid. Don't worry, they're transparent and invisible. If the crease is concealed, smaller sizes are sufficient. In this case, the lift remains more subtle. When applying the tape, pay attention to the correct positioning. The eyelid tape shouldn't be too close to the lash line, as it won't support the natural crease.
Droopy eyelid tape: Which size is suitable for sensitive skin?
If your skin is very sensitive, we recommend smaller eyelid adhesive strips. These have less pull and therefore are less likely to irritate the skin. They can also be removed more gently, preventing any damage to the skin.
How does the depth of the eye socket influence the choice of tape size?
The deeper your eye socket, the larger the tape should be. This is not only due to the eye socket itself, but also the weight of the eyelid. For shallower eye sockets, however, smaller sizes are perfectly adequate, as less tension is required.
How often should the tape size be adjusted to accommodate changes in the skin?
You should adjust the tape size as your skin condition changes. Changing the tape is especially necessary as you age. As your skin loses elasticity, the smaller tape no longer adheres as well. However, you'll quickly notice whether and when a new size is necessary when the tape simply no longer adheres as well.
Is the ideal tape size different for everyday use and special occasions?
For everyday use, smaller strips are more suitable for the eyelid, as less lifting is required. Larger strips have a stronger effect and thus create a more intense eyelid opening. If you want to really style yourself for parties, events, etc., you can go up to the next size. If you're happy with the effect of your tape size, you don't have to resort to other droopy eyelid adhesive strips for special occasions.
How does the position of the eyebrows affect the choice of tape size?
The ideal size of eyelid tape depends not only on the eye area itself. The surrounding field of vision should also be considered – and this is where the position of the eyebrow is particularly important. For low-set eyebrows, you need larger tapes to open up the eye area. However, if the eyebrow is slightly higher, you can achieve this effect with smaller tapes.
Do contact lenses influence the choice of tape size?
If you wear contact lenses, the tape's natural fit is important. To avoid over-tightening your eyelid and causing the lenses to scratch, a tape with slightly less tension is often better. Also, apply the tape in a way that allows you to still blink comfortably.
