text: well today i had the trainer wrap my leg with tape, and i would like to know if there was anyway less painful? then to just rip it off with all my hair on the tape, like is there something i can put on it to loosen it up, besides warm water? before wrapping the foot with tape-- make sure your foot is wrapped with "kling" or another type of rolled gauze, you could use a rolled foam (thin spongy material). when time comes for removal use bandage scissors--they don't have the sharp tip to poke or stab your foot/ankle.
