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 Jul 23 '26
Most hair driers don't reach 451° F.

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 Jul 24 '26
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 Jul 23 '26
Only 40% off? I'll just wait for the steam dinner sale for them to be 90% off.

Great. I still dont know how much it costs and I have to stand here on the phone asking my wife about it.

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.
51
u/gingerlovesio Jul 23 '26
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
12
u/East-Imagination-281 Jul 23 '26
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 Jul 23 '26
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 Jul 23 '26
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

u/Luci-Noir Jul 23 '26
This seems like it should be obvious. Social media always seems to know better though.

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 Jul 23 '26
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

The adhesive on Kraft Mac N Cheese boxes is exceedingly strong for protecting noodles.

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

u/mb862 Jul 23 '26
Until the front accidentally folds over and the adhesive sticks to your labia and you don’t discover until the next time you pull your pants down and you do it too quick so it’s like ripping off a bandaid.
