painlessly

In comfortable fashion

Painlessly means without pain or discomfort.

A dentist might promise to extract a tooth painlessly.

The word extends to anything accomplished without difficulty or unpleasantness: The transition happened painlessly.

It often carries a hint of surprise—things expected to hurt or be arduous turning out easy: We got through customs painlessly.
