When I was a kid, my grandmother would get splinters out with a small piece of salted fat. I know it sounds silly, but it works. Put the salted fat on the splinter, cover with a band-aid overnight. Gone in the morning, no pain. She said the salt would draw the splinter out. Before you laugh, try it. What have you got to lose?
Oh my goodness, Jack was just a baby! 😊 We’ve used these for years now. I order several packs at a time on Amazon and we keep them in my purse, his wallet, vehicles, etc. Our little granddaughter has learned to use them herself too. And yeah, very easy to reuse - we just tear the top strip off the little paper sleeve and slide them back inside after a wipe down with an alcohol swab.
Got turned onto them in my logging and lumber mill days. I always used the edge to cut the skin down to the splinter starting at the splinter's middle point cutting back to the entry point to open things up. Then use the point to "grab" onto the splinter and slide it out the way it came in. Often times just cutting back to the entry point would remove the splinter enough to flick it out. Amazing tool.
I found a better way than even those... Hawkbill Xacto knife that I used the point to cut the skin directly above the sliver to expose the sliver, then gently pry it out without much pain at all.
I think you mentioned it before. I bought a pack in 2016 and have not had an opportunity to use one yet (which I am happy about). Note - I may be thinking of the Tick Twister (which also may have been something you recommended?).

Wow. This is an old one. Look at young Jack!

The little guy at the end made me laugh.
Why not just use a Dikfor to get it out? Why go through all the trouble?
We ain't falling for it, lol.

Aww, young Jack with a cheeky grin. I use a sewing needle and pick up the skin around it and over it.
Pin and tweezers.
We always used a sewing needle and tweezers. This doesn't look any better. 😱

I just dig around with my dirty 940 Osborne until it comes free 🤷🏻♂️
Not the same jack anymore😅
Little boys dont stay little
Pinch it against the edge of your knife and pull it out or just pull it out with duct tape.
It works but not much better than a needle tbh
