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.

    I buy them in bulk, because I sew, and treat them like a handyman treats a flathead screwdriver. They’re a little less likely to accidentally cut your shirt, and it’s easier to get into tight stitches, but that’s about it.
