I have a sharps container at home, but I hadn't considered getting a travel-size unit until you suggested it. Jeanette Isabelle

Useful at home even, wife has went from the big trulicity pens to the new ozsomething which just have a tiny double needle in a removable tip so we no longer need a big container at home

I received the AMK Ultralight/Watertight .3, but it's not the same first aid kit I had before. I'll have to make my own.

As they are non-flushable the only solution is to put used one in a trash bin. Today, I noticed a sign in one of the clinic bathrooms requesting that flushable wipes be disposed of in the trash bin. Although I didn't use one, I would comply with the request as I would with any similar request at any other place. Jeanette Isabelle

The one thing that might make you more comfortable carrying the weight would be to change from a messenger-type bag to a backpack. In my case, I made that change for my (heavy!) laptop and IT-service bag, and it helped me substantially. I asked my mom which was more inconspicuous, a backpack or a messenger bag. Despite living in a college town, we don't reside in that particular area. According to my mom, a messenger bag is the more subtle option for our area. I plan to continue reducing the weight of my shoulder bag wherever possible. Jeanette Isabelle

I received the keychain flashlight today and attached it to my keychain. As the AMK Ultralight/Watertight .3 did not work out, I plan to assemble my own FAK. I intend to purchase travel-size flushable wipes and a portable sharps container. Could you suggest which sharps container I should get? Considering the rigorous use my bag goes through, I need something secure, and the option with the sliding lid seems to be the most secure.

Ever Ready First Aid Porta Sharps Transportable Sharps Container with Locking Mechanism - 6 Count I got those first and returned them immediately. It seemed they are intended to be single use. You put ONE item in, lock it closed, and that's it. Please see the one-star reviews on Amazon.

Please see the one-star reviews on Amazon. In a previous post, you shared a link to the following. Is this the unit you recommend? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09V5QYRP6?th=1Jeanette Isabelle

In my country it is same thing. There are so called flushable inner cardboard rolls in TP rolls but anybody who is proffessional plumber say they are not, they clogg the plumbing. It seems like is a lot a misinformation regarding flushable items out there. Paper handkerchiefs are not flushable either. I recently put one through a washing and dryer cycle by accident. It worked its way out of the pant pocket and survived. It was separated into 4 clean, undamaged layers. I my youth they used to disintegrate and decorate the entire laundry.
