Probably the best kept secret of the pharmacy
I discovered recently something truly revolutionary. Very simple. Probably very old. But very very useful. And unadvertised.
Remember all those times, as a kid, where your mum had to hold you down/ bribe you/ both to rip off your old plaster. She would tell complete lies like it wont hurt if you do it quickly.
Well, faced with starting to do the same with my daughter, I thought I'd ask the pharmacist if they had anything to help. I mean, perhaps nail varnish remover might help?
Well it turns out that hidden away in most pharmacy counters is a great product called Zoff. It is probably best compared to the kind of wipes you get at KFC for cleaning up afterwards. It is a set of wipes containing an alcohol solvent that if you wipe on a plaster, it dissolves the adhesive. So with a bit of patience, you can get plasters off with no pain and no horrible after residue.
Now why this has not been advertised to the masses is beyond me. But I will spread the word to ease the pain of many children everywhere.

Wish I had seen this before I removed my Corgis ear tapings - he looks very moth eaten now and was most put out with the pain of half his hair being pulled out!Posted 07-19-2009 at 02:36 AM by zanalan
