I removed my 4-ounce bottle of hand sanitizer when I put my bag on a diet. However, I realized that I always need hand sanitizer whenever I am away from home. There have been times when I have faced problems with the plumbing or water supply. Additionally, there have been numerous occasions when there were no paper towels in public restrooms, or the hand dryer was not working. In such situations, having a small bottle of hand sanitizer is quite useful. Therefore, I have decided to get a one or two-ounce bottle of hand sanitizer.

Paper handkerchiefs are not flushable either. I had never heard of paper handkerchiefs before, so I looked it up online. In the United States, we refer to them as facial tissues. Jeanette Isabelle

I asked my mom which was more inconspicuous, a backpack or a messenger bag.

I fail to understand why a backpack would make you less inconsicuous.Especially if the backpack is civilian and bright colored and not tactical with molle.

The key factor is the attire of other individuals in the vicinity. If you carry a backpack, regardless of whether it appears as a non-military design, and none of the other people in the area are carrying one, then it will attract attention. I wouldn't even want to hint that I'm a prepper. Jeanette Isabelle

OK, since I donīt know your surroundings itīs hard to comment anything. Here in my country we donīt have that kind of problem. Backpacks are a commong thing to lug your daily stuff and prepping is not a thing here.

Backpacks are a commong thing to lug your daily stuff and prepping is not a thing here. I strive to provide comprehensive information, but I am uncertain how it is received, particularly by individuals from different regions of the world. Additionally, most Americans do not engage in prepping, which is why we aim to maintain a low profile. Jeanette Isabelle

Can you add a waist belt or a second shoulder strap to distribute the load?
I use an old pill bottle for sharps.
Fluids are the heaviest. Perhaps carry just water and bring powdered ingredients to mix needed drinks.
There are backpacks that don't look prepper at all. Maybe something in Hello Kitty.

While I like the security of carrying extra water, I understand the weight issue and will consider it. There are backpacks that don't look prepper at all. Maybe something in Hello Kitty. Wearing a backpack, even a Hello Kitty one, would attract attention if no one else in the area is wearing one. Jeanette Isabelle

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. 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 Those are the ones I ordered. Wife changed from trulicity to ozempic a few months ago, the Ozempic have just a tiny double ended needle cap that unscrews from the pen. These containers appear to be designed exactly for the ozempic as the needle end of them fits in exactly.
