here is a tip for all.. it worked for me anyway.. I had broken a glass in the kitchen.. cleaned up all the pieces and even ran the vacumn.. you guessed it.. missed a tiny little sliver and since I walk around bare footed, yep in my foot.. could not find that piece in my foot, so I took a large piece of tape and stuck it to the area where it was bothering me and left it on for a few minutes then took it off and the sliver of glass came with it.. yeaaaaaaaaaaa.. it worked like a charm..

Good tip, will keep it in mind kids are always breaking drinking glasses.

Was it masking tape or duct tape?
Very clever. thanks for the tip

both work very well..

Thanks for the advice I hardly ever wear shoes inside

thanks for the tip i also have shoes off more than on and if there is something to step on yep its me.....soozie

I was laughing not because you got the glass in your foot but remembering my son with his hand covered in white school glue waiting for it to dry. Some kid told him that after it dries it will pull out the glass. It did work but the tape sounds a lot quicker.

Tip for broken glass. Use a soapbar to pick the tiny little sliver up. It works. Love Marie

I've had a piece of green-glass-mug stuck in my foot for about 50 years now ... never could get it out! should've tried sticky tape then1!!

Hope you recover soon.

Kathy, that sounds so painful - glad you were able to use the tape and get that sliver out - I wish you a speedy healing.

Smart thinking-I mean with the tape, not about trying to find slivers with bare feet. (hehe)

yes it's true when glass breaks into pieces you find still pieces after a long time even when you vacumn as well as you can

Ouch!. So glad you were able to get the glass out.

OUCH- bet it hurt - will remember this when clumsy me does it!!
Hugs - Marie

Glad you got it out! Neat way to remove it!
