Lately, the tags in my clothing, especially shirts, have started bugging me really badly. I just want to take and rip them out.

Members overwhelmingly shared that clothing tags have become unbearably irritating, with many describing them as feeling like barbed wire against hypersensitive skin and several noting that even removing tags can be difficult when they're sewn into seams. Several members offered practical solutions, including switching to tagless clothing brands available at Target and Walmart, choosing shirts with printed labels instead of sewn tags, and one member recommending Lularoe for soft, tagless options despite the higher price point. A recurring theme was the universal nature of this sensitivity, with members finding relief in knowing they weren't alone in needing to cut out every tag or sometimes struggling to tolerate any clothing touching their skin at all.

I have spent hundreds of dollars on new clothing for that very reason. Some days I don't even feel like it can handle clothing on my skin. Lularoe is a brand of clothing I found I can handle it's comfortable and there's no tags period but unfortunately it's a little spendy if you decide you want to try it I can give you my daughter's information she does sell it

Most clothes now do not have tags but the information is printed on the shirt rather than a tag. Check around and see if you can find the shirts without tags.

Yes. For many years I've had to cut the labels from the neck of all clothes, they felt as if they were made of barbed wire. Recently I'm finding the labels on the side of clothes are irritating me, so they're having to be cut out too. Not easy, I can't just cut them off, I have to remove the whole label, difficult as they're often seen into the seam, I've got to unpick the stitching! And that leaves a hole in the seam. Didn't think anybody else would have this problem, I'm so sensitive to various things, my ideal would be oversized cotton nighties or jammies, worn 24/7!

I've started having tag issues. I can't stand anything touching me. It's hard to cut the tags out without leaving some behind.

I hate tags too, one type that is super stiff and scratchy in particular.
