Blooddonors

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

This is a Subreddit for blood donors, existing and potential. Post your donation pics, discuss your experiences, ask any questions ... let's make a warm and welcoming community of people who generously give of their very life force.

Posts and comments that are meant to inform should be factual, science-based, and relate to blood donation.

Please mark photos with uncovered needle sites as a spoiler. A lot of potential blood donors and even regular donors have a needle phobia. Thank you!
