The worst form of torture for those of cursed with body hair is having to remove a band-aid after a doctor's visit. You hairless apes will never know the suffering. :(
A trick for those of us with hairy arms and legs… Grab a hair dryer and turn it on low and warm the band-aid. Once the adhesive has had time to melt, the band-aid will pull right off. :)

Hey, I gotta try that hair dryer thing that Dio suggested. That's some Mr. Wizard crap right there. Heh.
Unfortunately, I’m more often than not too lazy to go the hair dryer route. I usually take band-aids off after a couple of drinks which deadens the rip and scream method. I use the hair dryer method when I know the oozing puss from the injury has cemented to the band-aid and will be a bloody mess if I just rip it off.

Men are wimps.:glare:

You can't pull a bandaid off, and I gave birth to two HUMAN BEINGS.
When women give birth they are pumped full of a natural pain killer (oestrogen that releases chemicals called endorphins or enkephalins). And as far as I know I can’t get a spinal to remove a band-aid. Studies show women have no higher pain threshold than men.

Uh, what about those of us who gave birth naturally, with no plain killers on board? And for prolonged hours of pain.

Not two seconds of, "Oh no! clutch my pearls! I have to pull a bandaid off!"

I think most men would go with pain killers if we had to endure prolonged hours of pain. Seems the smarter thing to do.
It doesn't have a thing to do with smarts whether someone does or doesn't. There are only certain times during labor they can give them and if you miss that window, you are outta luck!

Some don't want those drugs in their system or the baby's system and choose not to use them.

And some walk in and say, hook me up.

I was the kind of gal.....just hook me up with the epidural as soon as possible. :) There is no blue ribbon out there given for having the baby without pain killers.
Smart gal! With our first child the wife wanted to deliver naturally. So she dragged me through those gawd-awful birthing classes. Talk about painful! Probably needless to say but I wasn’t the favorite of the instructor. I constantly said the father should be where he traditionally was during the birth… in the waiting room, waiting on the doctor with the news and handing out cigars. I would often say the majority of the women in the class, after dealing with the pain for awhile, would opt for drugs anyway… so why are we here? If looks could kill.

The wife ended getting the epidural after languishing in pain with the first one. The second one she was the same... hook me up with the pain killers as soon as possible. :)
