What Kind of Tape Can I Use to Cover my Abdominal Incision if I Want to Show my Belly? (photo)

puglimore
I have two abdominal incisions. One's a scar revision around and below my navel. The other is under the bikini line from the tummy tuck. Is that a gentle tape I can use to cover these lines if I want to show my skin? Could I put a scar cream like Mederma along the scar with the tape on it? I don't want anything that will be too sticky. Thank you. The photo below shows my old scar before this surgery--the scar that did not heal well.
