Did anyone use medical adhesive remover to help get their steri-strips off after their c-section? The nurse told me I'm supposed to take them off by 7 days after they put them on and they are still REALLY stuck on there and I'm not cool with ripping shit off that area at the moment lol

O.o my nurse and doctor told me just let them fall off on their own. And when at my 4 week visit they had not, my doctor gave me the okay to soak in a warm bath and let them get loose and then take them off.

Ohh really?! I might wait and call on Monday then! That would be awesome if I could just leave them on 😬

Yeah, I definitely would... I don't see why you would need to remove them. I would talk to your doctor, not a nurse. He/she may say differently.

they should just fall off especially after showers and such, pulling on them does hurt, my doctor always recommended letting them fall off and using a little pair of scissors to trim the tape as it unpeeled
