    Eeek days is crazy

    But i agree, no matter what you do it always ends up a little tender at least

    But try baby oil, like soak that tape in it. Itll come off much easier

    • One of my transmasc friends used to bind his chest with 6in KT tape for a week at a time, and before he got top surgery he was usually found with a small patch on his arm where he was testing the next roll for long term adhesive exposure.

      I need to get some baby oil, the last few days have been a little rougher than usual since I’ve been going out in more form fitting clothing recently.

      LPT: Even though acetone will get the sticky adhesive residue off, DON’T USE IT IF YOU’VE SHAVED RECENTLY! seems like a no-brainer, right? Well late-night me doesn’t always think clearly…

        if you need adhesive remover, orange oil is great. they also sell medical grade adhesive remover for like 15 bucks a box of 75 wipes (the last time i bought some) at the medical supply store.
