I didn't. It's a revelation.

I read this on the other thread...I don't understand though, surely the sticky up bit hurts your head? Why are they better the flat side up?!

Ah, Wikipedia says that there are some advantages to both ways:

Usage

There are different ways to use the pin: flatside up and wavy side up.

Flat side up:
provide a better hold
neat appearance on straight hair
ability to decorate pin

Wavy side up:
easier to slide into hair with the wavy side up
adds texture and dimension
seamlessly blends in with curly hair

It does look a lot neater, and no digging in so far. Maybe I'm just but very sensitive!

I assumed the flat side was to avoid lacerating your scalp on the way in? confused

Will everyone think I'm wearing inside-out kirby grips though blushgrin?

I wear them all the time and have done for past 25 years and I have never realised this!
