I tape strips of old bar tape under my new tape in stategic spots, gives extra padding where I want it without needing a narrower selection of overly thick tape where I don't. Similar to gel pads. Types of material and even differences in brands and textures are a VERY personal choice. I've used tapes of various cost levels that seemed to be exactly what I desire based on marketing and reviews and they totally sucked and I had the exact opposite experience.
