Honestly even trans tape is rough to take off. Adhesive under strain holding things to your body for days is not fun 😭 thank god for surgery ✂️🩹
Days sounds like a bad idea for anything, really.
you can get adhesive barrier wipes to prevent tape rash. i like smith&nephews's, i use 2/week to glue shit to me for 7+ days so if y'all go ham make sure i can at least buy that many please.
You must smell horrifying. I imagine like poop and pork.
and a fresh summer breeze
Mmmmm... Sunbaked poop and pork...
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.
Yeah adhesive remover is great if you can get it, but it is expensive honestly
