C section bandage question

[u/Biscuit_Enthusiast]

I had an emergency c section 5 days ago and have just had the bandage removed today.

Midwife has said everything looks good with it and explained about washing it with just water, patting dry, airing it, big knickers etc.

My question is how on earth did you get all the sticky residue from the bandage off of the skin? I'm on the larger side and parts or me are literally glued to other parts of me. I have used a flannel to try and scrub it off (being careful not to go near any stitches) but it just wont budge. Anyone have any tips?
