How do I get all this sticky adhesive off my tummy? It's yucky.

    LOL! It took forever to get mine off! I finally used Skin So Soft from Avon (my sis in law had some) and it worked like a charm. I think I had tried everything until then!

    Rubbing alcohol worked pretty good for me.

    Rubbing alcohol worked for me too. It does get a little tender from all the rubbing, but most will come off.

    Guess my adhesive was stubborn because isopropyl alcohol didn't do a thing, neither did any soap or lotions. The SSS took it all of in a matter of seconds.

    I was told not to use anything on them but to let soapy water run over it. It took a lot longer for them to come off than the doctor said they would but I was afraid of tugging on them or using something that would infect my wounds so I just rolled the edges of the sticky as I showered each time. They eventually came off without any pain.
