Cactus spine/needle removal

I saw briefly on another posting about using a small square piece of panty hose to remove needles and nair hair remover for the small ones.

How does this work and what's the best "spine/needle removal" tools to include in my Arizona first aid kit?

I always carry a small unbreakable comb for cholla, and a decent pair of tweezers for anything big.
For small stuff (and almost everything else) Gorilla tape rules.
Interesting posts about hair removal wax kits - sounds like a great idea.
