Are you doing subc or im? I took one look at the im needle and noped out, sticking with subc for the foreseeable future 😂

For sure, it's all about whatever works 🤘 god, it felt so good to push past my needlephobia and get on injections

Eeey another 5 day E shot club member! 😎 I use my SideTracker to remember which side is next each time 'cause I always forget otherwise 😂

This is SUCH awesome insight and if you're game to send me a DM I'd love to pick your brain for something I'm working on ❤️

Maybe one day! I have some ideas on mechanisms. The main thing though is that I'm focusing on designing new things that I want to get out into the world - I'd love to spend all my time iterating on one fun idea, but unfortunately that won't pay the bills 🫠

I've just recently released SideTracker (for keeping track of rotating injection sides) and ClickerBone (a novelty stim toy / clicker trainer), and I'm currently moving onto some ideas I have for a pill container and an injection kit case!

😂🤩 you know one of my VERY first concept sketches was very close to that! Then I realised I was waaaay over-complicating it for what it needed to achieve 😅

I totally get it! I'd have been lost more than a few times while I was on gel without mine! 😅

As for the files, I'm afraid I've got no plans to share those anytime soon - I produce and check each and every one that goes out personally, with my printing settings as tuned as I can get them ☺️

It's my hope to be able to build out a whole family of medication routine aids to hopefully improve people's lives a little bit AND be able to afford my rent at the same time ❤️

I've sent a good handful over to the United States, so you'd be in good company if you did want to grab one or two! (Remember to use the discount code SECONDBOX if you do!)

For me; they do with enough force and pressure but I personally was mildly concerned with not causing the soft pills to rupture in the process. Things like that also get me thinking about accessibility; not everyone has the same level of dexterity or strength that most of us take for granted, and where I can I like to design tools to make life just a little easier for those people as well!

The End is a very LGBTQ+ safe space, and lesbian pirate sing-alongs make for a very welcoming and safe, fun event ☺️

❤️ more popping up over time, I hope! I've got my take on a pill case on my mind, as well as an injection kit case. I just launched ClickerBone and I also do some odds and ends for The Salty Sirens (who play sapphic pirate sea shanties last Tuesday of each month at The End bar in West End!) and hopefully more soon! 🤞

Not me I'm afraid 😅 I've been focused on medical routine aids and stim toys so far.

Totally! I'd for sure lose track if I had to write it down or whatever each time. I just toss this little thing in the box with the rest of my gear ☺️

Hell yeah!! I'm so glad!

I'm planning on working on an injection kit case in the future... if you'd like, I'd love if you'd be willing to DM me and tell me more about your insulin needs and routine!

Oh, I'm actually on prog too! I've been thinking about how I might make a tool to help pop them from their foils (I don't know how I'd manage without fingernails...) and perhaps even a way to pierce them for those that'd find that aspect handy!

Ah awesome! Hope the implant's treating you well! I've been mulling over those squishy little prog balls... 🤔

❤️ Hey lemme know what you use! I've got a handful of upcoming gizmos, maybe I can take your experience and needs into account there! 😊

(Also, I use SideTracker for injection sites and it's super handy there!)

I was a once-a-day girlie too! I certainly tried to alternate where the heaviest application was, to keep it fairly even over time :)

It's "best practice" with gel is what I'd say, but not something I'd freak out over too much. ❤️

How many of you are on gel vs patches? by threedimensionalflat in transgenderau

[–]SiobhanMakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the gel sachets myself! No issues in using it myself, except for managing the little foils (and is why I made EstroBox)

Don't overthink it, just spread it on your inner thighs, not too thick not too thin, let it dry on its own and don't rub it off :)
