Ouch!
I don't try to keep Her Highness off anything. I recently got the Scotch Fur Fighter Hair Remover. I love it! I keep it close by and run it over the big board before I use it. I am so cheap that I take her "flea comb" the one with the very fine teeth & comb the pad after using it. It gets the picked up hair off and cleans the pad right up. None of this use once, throw away. I'll use it over & over until it won't pick up the hair anymore - then I'll change it. Oh, she's 16 years old and a black Persian with 6 mile long fur!!!
Hope your pain isn't too much to deal with.
