Release it, it will get the overall job done quicker.
It seems like peeling an elastoplast that is well stuck to your skin ... do you do it fast or slow? Fast = more pain less duration, slow = perhaps less pain, but for longer.
But is it one elastoplast stuck to your skin, or is it 10 or 50? and are they all small, or do you have some big ones on your hairy parts

?
