Taping Your Lugs...Best Solution?

So far I've swapped out my bracelets 5 or 6 times and always with my heart in my throat for fear of scratching the lugs. So far I've been lucky and haven't had any mishaps.
Whenever I do it I've been using electrical tape on the lugs which works well for protection because it's thicker than regular tape but leaves a sticky residue which is difficult to remove. It only comes off by constant rubbing and takes awhile to get it all off.
I've read where others are using the blue painters tape on the lugs but my recollection of this type of tape is that it's pretty thin and probably would not protect as well as the electrical tape, but probably doesn't leave a residue.
Would the painters tape protect the watch adequately or is the electrical tape the best solution? Or is there something better?
