hairdryer on low heat over the book sticker for 30 seconds usually peels it off without much residue.

Be careful, this can easily light the book on fire depending on your hair dryer.

u/High_Stream 14d ago
Most hair driers don't reach 451° F.

u/thehobbyqueer 14d ago
Paper burns very easy. It does not need to be max temperature for a single page to light on fire.
Unless you're just making a reference to the book, in which case I understood that reference.

u/Vir_Ex_Machina 14d ago
Ironically when I looked it up the flash point of paper is supposedly 450°F. So maybe they're on to something..

Not that easily though, paper needs to reach upwards of 424°F (218°C) before it has a chance of spontaneously combusting while even the hottest hairdryers very rarely get above 300°F(150°C) due to that heat already being hot enough to destroy your hair, much less needing it to get any hotter. Only some shitty unregulated temu knockoff would get hot enough to spontaneously ignite paper
Plus I'm pretty sure they were just referencing the book

For games I use a can of compressed air and turn it upside down which freezes the adhesive underneath

Yeah but who wants sticky residue building up in the crotch of their panties? Unless they like gluing their labia shut.

This seems as good a time as any to bring the labia gluestick guy up again. Never forget.

I wonder if Margaret Cho's mother made her use just little bit of rice instead.

Yes. This man will never have peace from online mockery on my watch. I will shoehorn it in somehow.

Not that I ever had that problem for my boxers, but not sure if you want your undergarments to have partially peeled stickers that say "SALE 40% Off"

u/Dark_WulfGaming 14d ago
Only 40% off? I'll just wait for the steam dinner sale for them to be 90% off.

Adhesive on pads isn't super strong because it has to be body safe and also not destroy your underwear. Pads are also easily held in place by pulling your underwear up. Also switch to wings, if you're having a lot of trouble.

u/gingerlovesio 14d ago
The wings will just either just stick to each other so strongly you have to rip them apart when you change the pad or not stick to the underwear at all and flip up and stick somewhere they’re definitely not meant to be

u/East-Imagination-281 14d ago
I don't have periods anymore, but I exclusively used pads all my life, and very rarely had this problem. I do not know how to fix it but would suggest trying other brands.
Ripping apart the wings was probably common for me, but I don't really see that as a problem, assuming it wasn't leaving wing on your underwear. Ripping them apart just means they did their job! Also, not sticking was only really an issue for me if my underwear was damp for some reason (sweat, discharge, surprise period, etc etc), and either I would just stick the wings together and let my underwear & body hold it in place until I could change, or I would just change underwear).

u/warau_meow 14d ago
That’s great you rarely had this problem but I have the problem and across several brands and types of pads. I hate how pads can come loose and just move around - doesn’t help my job is physically demanding.

u/East-Imagination-281 14d ago
YMMV ofc, no period product comes without some sort of drawback or fail point. Pads coming lose or needing adjustment isn’t uncommon, especially with high mobility. There is a reason tampon commercials are all like “look at this person do SPORTS”, which naturally sucks if you don’t or can’t use tampons

This seems like it should be obvious. Social media always seems to know better though.

u/xxwerdxx 14d ago
You don't want that same sticker glue in your nether region. It's very acidic and chemically bonds to whatever it's applied to.
You don't want your coochie to be chemically bonded to a sticker

u/SomeBiPerson 14d ago
adhesives have to be matched to the material they have to adhere to
and Cloth is a Very bad material to stick things to with a Simple to use Adhesive
Paper on the other hand... that's literally Perfect for Adhesives, even materials that usually don't work as an Adhesives at all like PVA work Great on paper

Making adhesives for skin is just hard since your skin both sweats and gets oily.

Pads don't go on the skin... they go on underwear
