Help: How to Remove a Band-Aid

[pearlieq]

I have one of those big, flexible fabric Band-Aids on my forearm and it needs to come off. Unfortunately, it's stuck pretty darn well.

Does anyone have any tips to get it off without (too much) pain? It's a little too big/well stuck for the "rip it off" method.

Thanks!

Well, aside from the big rip, you may want to try soaking your arm and get the band aid pretty wet.. that may help.

try some baby oil....

Wait until you take a shower or bath and then work at it with the soap and water.

This is what I use when DS has one "stuck" on him.

I second soap and water in the shower. My bandaids ALWAYS come off in the shower.

Oh come on! Just down a couple shots of tequila, wait a few minutes and give it a great big tug. No problem.

try heating it with a hair dryer on low. It melts the glue and it will slip right off. Good luck!

Bless you all! A combination of soaking and baby oil worked like a charm!

I really appreciate everyone's help!!!
