I'm having problems with the sticky residue that trans tape leaves behind. Any tips on getting rid of it?

Don’t go crazy with any chemicals, give some baby oil a shot first

MtF, so I don't use tape, but coconut oil seems to be a good sticky remover!

Hello from All. Sorry if I'm intruding on the community. Have you tried acetone (nail polish remover) and/or almond oil?

[–] cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is acetone ok to use on skin?

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also from all, but yes. Not daily or your skin will be super dried out.

I'll try that. Thanks.

If all else fails (alcohol, baby oil), gasoline or goof off. Although gas is obvs real bad for the skin.

I have been rubbing vaseline on the leftover adhesive to get it off. Sometimes I gotta scratch it then leave the lot of it to fall off over the day before showering.
