    Ignore the title. Please. I haven't taken my meds yet because I'm lazy, and I just woke up. >___>

    Anyway, this just popped into my head. I really wanted to ask because I'm curious. When you take of a band-aid, do you usually just rip the thing off quickly? Or do you find it's easier to do it carefully and what not? Are there other ways you do it to prevent from pulling on your hairs? (lol hairs stfu)

    For me, I have to do it underwater. I hate taking band-aids off like... I can't put it in me to just rip the thing right off. DX So, I do it in the water instead. I guess it must soak the bandage and make it less sticky or something lol I don't know. But yeah..

    What about you guys? :O
     
    I just rip it straight off, no questions asked. It's not that painful to me I guess... and every time I try to do it slowly it ends up just prolonging the irritation. Getting water for it would be too inefficient for me to consider... and well, just too much effort in general because I'm lazy.

    So yes, just ripping the sucker off is the way to go for me, a quick burst of pain goes away just as quickly after all.

    Unless you've been shot... or stabbed... or stung by a bee... or... actually maybe that analogy makes far less sense than I thought.
     
    Pulling off bandaids can be one of the most painful things depending on how sticky they are. I don't shave my legs so if I decided to just rip it off I'd end up taking a good patch of fur along with it. I prefer to just wash it off in the shower. Unless they're the waterproof ones, in which case I'll be shaving once I get it off.
     
    I rip Band-aids straight off because the pain goes away faster than it does when I slowly prise them off. The pain isn't ever that bad since you're not supposed to put them on more severe wounds anyway.
     
    I start to slowly peel them off, get frustrated, and then just rip it off. I always regret it immediately after, but at least it's off, right?

    It's extremely painful for me if the band-aid is on one of my legs or something because my legs are hairy. If you're wondering how hairy, one of my friends likes making Cousin It references.
     
    I don't get it? Like, when I rip it off, it doesn't hurt. At all. And yes, I'm hairy, because waxing my arms/legs during the winter doesn't make sense.
     
    i used to remove them with baby oil but now i just rip them off. it hurts, but i can endure.
     
    There's just no way I'm ripping that thing off quickly, lol. I usually do it nice and slowly, and I've never had any problems doing it that way. ^^
     
    This totally reminded me of that scene from Blades of Glory where Jimmy Macelroy got disowned on the side of the road.

    Getting disowned is like a band-aid. Just rip it off.



    As for the topic I honestly prefer moving at a medium pace, considering my hairs. I deal with the pain 8)
     
    Heh, well, these things never stay on long enough anyway. I leave them on until they come loose enough.
     
    I peel it off extra slow. I can't stand the glue residue on my skin either...the sting is so annoying
     
    I peel them off slowly. But there's this time that I tried peeling it fast, oh gosh, it hurts!
     
    I usually go slowly because I have sensitive skin and I can feel pain easily, or for a safer route I'd just weaken it in the shower or something first. For me, better to be safe than sorry.
     
    My skins is really sensitive so i remove them when i take a bath. The water makes the glue wet then i remove it slowly without feeling the pain. :3
