How do you take off a band-aid painless?

Question

I've never worn a band-aid in monthes because it always sucks taking it off, and dealing with that sticky stuff.

How do I get past all those problems?

And whats the point of the band-aid if your gonna shower that day and have to take it off?

Answer 1

The point of a band-aid is to protect your cut from germs, dirt, and anything that bothers it while it is healing. You are supposed to take it off before you shower and then put a new one on when you get out. You should clean your cut before you put one on. When it gets dirty you should pull it off fast. It might hurt a little bit but not anywhere near as much as an infection. Some brands do not stick as much but they might fall off. You have to keep your cut clean until it's healed so that should take care of the sticky stuff.

Answer 2

It is better not to rip off a bandaid. You could pull open a wound or rip off a scab that has formed.

Gently pull it up from one corner in the direction of the wound. When you get to the wound, pull it up from the opposite corner.

If there is hair on the skin where you are going to put the bandaid, the only thing you can do is shave it first.

Remove the bandaid after your shower, not before. That way it has a chance to loosen itself from the wound, just in case it is stuck on.  

Answer 3

Answer 6

try sloking the band aid in baby oil before you take it off,rubbing achole will work to but if the wound is open you can't use it as it will sting.a band aid protects the wound from air and bacterrier so genrally it's woth wearing one even if you have to take if off later.

Answer 7

band-aids, "aid" in the protection of bacteria.

Answer 8

Don't be a whip. Sorry to say it, but when i was in the hospital i had an iv stuck to me for 3 days and you wanna know how painful it truly was to take off ALL of the crazy tape and medical c**p they used to make sure my iv wouldn't come out? Well trust me it was more pain than you can imagine, a band-aid is nothing to that, so just think about all of the other horrible pain in the world and the fact that a band-aid isnt such a Big deal, and pull!
