Flowflex LTF the silver peel off bit is it just me that’s inept

[FabricedeSauveterre]

I cannot get the silver peel off bit off the tube. Having to do one daily and it’s driving me crazy, poking it with pins and pulling it off on tiny bits with my teeth. Is it me or are they all impossible to peel off?!

The last box I had was the same! Really bloody difficult. The next box seems ok so far...

Maybe they over sealed the ones in your pack! In my last pack most were fine in could pull the little tab but there was one little bugger that wouldn’t come off and I had to take a cocktail stick to it

Definitely not just you, the little fuckers are absolutely impenetrable!

When I was trying to get into the first one I couldn't believe how hard it was. DH found me wrestling with it and blaming the patriarchy but it turned out he couldn't open it either.

We've had several boxes of them and they've all been the same - we've ended up having to gently pierce them open with a clean skewer.

I've only had one box but I couldn't peel it off either, had to use scissors to cut a hole in it. Colleague looked at me like I was mad and said she'd had no problems with hers at all!

Same, it’s a manufacturing defect. I’ve just ordered some more to replace them because it isn’t possible to measure out the right no of drops to go into the test unless the foil is off

Yep the most recent box has been a total arse, had to use a small screwdriver in the end, wondered about contamination 🤦

No its not just you it drives me mad I can't do them they are a pain in the ass xx

I am glad it is not just me!
Lol at blaming the patriarchy.
The first one I took out the box was fine and every other since has been a total PITA

Not just you

I used my teeth and dropped the tube when it finally opened so that went well

They are terrible! I nearly stabbed my self with scissors trying to open them. You'd think they'd be making it easier to test.

I had to throw mine. New box better so far.

Liking the solutions on here though!

They are really shit. I did one today that peeled off with no problems but every other one I have tried has been impenetrable.
