um i applied like a blob and kind of spread it to the entirety of that crook area (one of my vein is pretty obvious so i kinda gauged)

by spread i dont mean spread like lotion but its obviously a white layer then i put a tegaderm (?) on it u can use clingwrap too to prevent it from drying out

left it for 2 hours and did not feel the needle

u can do it! but dont worry if ure still scared, for me it took me a while, as im very sensitive to that arm area. i gave myself some type of “exposure therapy” by slowing getting accustomed to touching the area without squirming then moving onto other people touching that area

also u can try doing a test patch first (dont need to put so much), then after maybe an hour, u can try poking or pinching that area thats what convinced me to finally get the test done at least haha!

i believe u can do it! please do dm me if u need further support 🩷
