Sensor change tips & tricks?

Nooooooo! Had my mama still been alive she'd have been highly derogatory, seeing such a thing on a person of Mrs May's status. Clearly she wasn't brought up right because the world knows that when any child is seen with the mark of a removed plaster upon their skin, their mother doesn't look after them properly, so No Way should her children be seen out with any such thing and a clean hanky every morning because snotty noses are similar. Not allowed to sniff, either - if you need to sniff you obviously don't own a hanky and it's disgusting. So that was us, told, and it lasts! :rofl:

I hear that. I used to get “fussed” with a damp cloth, if I had a grease mark from meddling with my push bike as a kid? 🙄 Couldn’t have me looking like an urchin. 😉

I was advised to never whip off anything stuck to my skin as it can take off a top layer.
A physio advised me to always remove anything stuck to me in the shower. Peel a little bit off and let the water get behind it to loosen the glue and then pull it slowly.
You may have some glue residue left which can be removed with oil.

It case it was not clear, I will repeat
NEVER WHIP OFF ANYTHING STUCK TO YOU.

Ouchie! Reminds me of when hubby spent a few days in hospital and I had to help him remove several sticky pads from the ECG monitoring kits. One set from the paramedics, another set from A&E and yet another from the cardiac ward. Of course each kit is not compatible.
He was covered in round pink (hairless) patches from shoulder to ankle, over 30 in all by the time I finished. Wasn't very happy when I told he looked like Mr Blobby :rofl:
