After a fun night out, safely removing boob tape is probably one of the last things on your mind. However, just ripping it off should not be an option, no matter how tired you may be. Even if you've taken all the steps necessary to protect your skin before you put on the tape, if you don't remove it properly, it won't matter. The skin on your chest is extra delicate, which is exactly why you should be extra careful when peeling off the adhesive accessory for the night.
While some boob tapes will be easy to remove on their own, you might need a little bit of help along the way. Blythe Enke, a customer support coordinator at the breast tape brand Good Lines, advises reaching for body oil if you're having trouble. "We recommend applying your favorite oil (baby oil, coconut oil, etc.) all over the tape until it's drenched. Let [it] sit on your skin for around 15 minutes before removing," she advised to Byrdie, explaining that the oil will loosen the tape's adhesive, enabling its removal without causing any irritation.
If the boob tape doesn't budge, board-certified dermatologist Erum Ilyas recommends soaking it in a thick layer of a petroleum jelly-based product like Vaseline or Aquaphor, as she tells Allure. Using a bit of nail polish remover could also work; however, that could cause irritation for some, she added.
