Soap with pumice in it is also pretty good at removing tiny splinters. But if you get a bigger one, you can really feel it, but you can't see it, trying tape first is a good option. If you just wash your hands first, you might shatter the splinter or drive it deeper into your skin in fragments.
Also, use warm water to keep your skin looser, so the splinter is more likely to slip free.
Indeed. But out on the road duct tape is the way to go
