This pro life tip brought to you by The Irritation of Removing Uncomfortable Tags.

Use a seamripper to remove the stitches that attach a tag and the garment itself. See attached picture for a demonstration of this. Seamrippers are cheap (~1 USD is typical) and available at any store with even a token sewing section, such as walmart or target, and some grocery stores as well. Using a seamripper lets you remove the tag entirely, while cutting the tag off usually leaves behind a sliver of the tag fabric that can be uncomfortable.

    Is a seamripper really that much better than undoing the seams with nail scissors?

    Yes! Its designed for the job and you can do it very quickly once you’ve used it a few times.
