Subject: Getting sticky tape (from bandage) off skin?
I wasn't sure where to post this, but I was hoping someone could help. Yesterday, my knee was bothering me so I wrapped in for support. The brand of wrap my hubbie picked up was sticky. I've had wraps that stick to themselves before, but this also stuck to my skin, and has left sticky residue all over my skin. It's hard to get off, even with lots of scrubbing which is irritating my skin.Does anyone know what I can do to get this stuff off? Thanks!

Soak?

WD-40 if you're desperate...that will take off dang near any adhesive.

Baby oil works when I've used it on my daughter's skin. Vaseline would probably be another option - basically anything oily. Sunscreen has taken off those sticky temporary tatoos as well.

Try witch hazel.

Thanks for the suggestions! I tried canola oil first (didn't have baby oil) and it worked really well. Still took a bit of rubbing in spots, but at least the oil sooted the skin!

I was actually going to say automotive brake cleaner works great, not the safest but works great.. you should see how it takes care of poison ivy
