Dealing with itchy pink nightmare in my attic

Okay, I gotta vent for a sec. Just spent the better part of my weekend up in the attic trying to sort out some insulation issues, and honestly, whoever invented this pink fluffy stuff must've had a cruel sense of humor. I wore gloves, long sleeves, mask—the whole nine yards—and somehow still ended up itching like crazy. It's like microscopic needles attacking your skin, you know? And don't even get me started on how it gets everywhere. Clothes, hair, shoes...I swear I'll be finding little pink fibers around the house for weeks. Plus, I feel like no matter how carefully I handle it, it never quite fits right or stays put where it's supposed to. Maybe I'm just bad at DIY or something, but does anyone else feel like this stuff is way more trouble than it's worth? Or is there some secret trick I'm missing that makes it less miserable to work with?

Totally agree with your points on mineral wool. I switched over during a recent attic renovation, and yeah, the install was a bit of a wrestling match—especially around those awkward corners. But once done, the difference was noticeable right away. The house felt quieter, warmer, and just...more premium somehow. Definitely worth the extra effort and cost, in my opinion. Glad to hear others are seeing similar results.
