Whats the easiest way to get a bandaid off?


see today i was riding my bike drinking a gatorade after the gym...well this car popped outta NOWHERE and idont have brakes...and i tried to stop my bike by putting one foot on the back tire and one on the ground well my pedal sliced my leg open and i started bleeding everywhere...it was a pretty long and deep cut...and i put this GIGANTIC bandaid over it...like its half my calve muscle....and i got really really really hairy legs and it hurts like hell to take bandaids off...how can i get it off easily

ripping it off hurts more than it the cut and riding my bike 6 miles back and all that bull...you dont have really hairy legs you wouldnt understand...unless you do....

take it off while the part its on is under water!!!


bath time is the best time!

Fill your bathtub with either cold or hot water, sit in it for about 20 minutes ( or until the band-aid is loosened, then slowly lift up the corners, if it doesn't hurt, slowly and carefuly hold your leg, and start to peel it off. It it still hurts the only other thing to do with less pain then ripping it off is the lift it up slowly trimming the hairs while pulling:(.
Sorry to hear about the accident.
Good luck , hope I helped!

Are you sure you don't need stitches? Time is of the essence if you do. If not, try clipping the hair around the band-aid. Try ice to numb the area. If you have a open would last thing you want to do is soak in the tub until it is closed.
You can also try baby oil to loosen the adhesive

Try ice to numb the area.

Soak it with toothache Ambesol for 10 min. and it will come off with no pain.

Just rip it off. Stop being a scaredy cat
