ugh sick they’re so big 🫠 easy to remove at least!

I am actually glad for this since I didn’t know what they look like!! I’m sorry you’re dealing with that I didn’t know they were so big 😭

they aren’t always this big! sometimes they really just look like tiny pieces of lint. but they can be big like these suckers 🫣

Exactly. 👆I think that’s why I was so alarmed and took a photo. Very satisfying to remove 😂
