I have the same problem & spend most evenings trying to remove the wretched things.I have found that a pair of tweezers ot a sterilised needle work the best.Thorns are so painful though & your hands still hurt afterwards for some reason.

could try germolene and a plaster (know it sounds corny, but the germolene helps pull the thorns out and fight any infection). Or magnesium sulphate paste if they're really deep in. Ouch!

magnesium sulphate is FANTASTIC!! I've even used it to cure an ingrowing toenail.. so it should work on thorns!

Wish I could use it to get my baby out - 39 1/2 weeks and very impatient!!!!!
