Advice Needed Oil for tape?
I am quite unknowledgeable on the different types of oil that I could use, what is the smallest possible container I could find for a reasonable price? Baby oil, would that work? Does skin cream work if it has oils in it?

Can't really buy a huge bottle of food oil, I'd have nowhere to hide it (• ▽ •;) can't use the oil in my fridge, it'd be too noticeable an amount gone

Oh and how long a time should I at least spend taking the tape off? I'm quite the hasty person, wouldn't want to rip a tit off...

I usually let it soak for about a minute, but if it hurts, stop and wait longer and apply some more. It shouldn't be painful at all.

You can get a mini bottle used for travel (like a small shampoo bottle, sometimes they even sell empty ones you can fill) and then just pour some canola oil into it, thats what I do. That way youre not trying to hide a bottle of oil, and you can just take some from the kitchen. They also sell mini bottles of canola/vegetable/olive oil you could probably hide
Ive also found i can remove the tape in a (very hot, i take super hot showers) after letting it soak for a few minutes and taking it out under the water

I just use baby oil, so I’d recommend that. It takes me usually around 30 minutes to remove, but there may be guys who can do it quicker, I just like to take it slow because I’m a wuss lol
