Best medical apparel & gloves according to redditors

Note to FO: attach these guys to all player bags from now on. Maybe add in some of these bad boys for the airport. Maybe these for our starters.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not, but I'll help you out here. I'll even use amazon since it's quicker.

Grand total 53.55 (60.24 if you want the steristrips plus this will leave you with extra for additional FAK's). Now if you wanted to get fancy and add in the combat gauze/quickclot, that's where you'll spend some change. TBH though a good pressure dressing (properly applied) is going to do pretty damn well for most people's uses.

I have a few recipes I could give out, [VG and PG are on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Pharmaceutical/dp/B00PSGWHIO/ref=sr_1_13_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1524904013&sr=8-13&keywords=vegetable+glycerine). and excigexpress is where I buy all my flavors. You also need a beaker set, .01 g scale, syringes, medical gloves, glass bottles for steeping, and plastic bottles

I wrote up a one page guide for someone who wanted to wanted to try prostate massage with her husband. I've included it below. I should point out that the cleansing part is totally optional. If she doesn't care about getting a fleck of poop on her finger, or you get the suggested Nitrile exam gloves, then I wouldn't bother with it. Feel free to ask questions here or via PM if you'd like.

First, a few words about human anatomy and physiology...

If your guy has no anal play experience, he needs to learn to relax his anus so that you can get a finger or toy in there without pain. Secondly, once you are able to get past his anus, he will very likely feel conflicting sensations of pleasure and the need to defecate. So, a little work needs to be done before the fun can really begin.

The human anus is actually comprised of two circular muscles, or sphincters. The outer sphincter you have voluntary control of. However, you do not have voluntary control of your inner sphincter because it is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which unconsciously controls other bodily functions like heart rate. This arrangement is a very clever fault-tolerant mechanism to reliably control defecation.

So, while he can control his outer sphincter, gaining control of the inner sphincter will take a bit of training. Initially, his body will associate sensations from the inner sphincter with the need to defecate, so he will need to train himself to also associate these sensations with pleasure through relaxation and arousal before you can attempt any kind of penetration. A good way to do this is with a small silicone butt plug, some really good water-based (i.e., not silicone based) lube and some time and patience.

With butt plug and lube on-hand, start by lubing up his anus and the butt plug, then use gentle but constant pressure to slowly insert the butt-plug past his anus and into his rectum. Again, he needs to be very relaxed and preferably aroused before you'll be able to get the butt plug in without experiencing pain. It's probably best to attempt this while he receives a hand job and/or blow job. Once you get it in, he may very well feel like he needs to defecate. As I mentioned above, this is totally normal, so it's always best to do this within a few hours after he last pooped. This way he'll know that these feelings are false and can just power through them. Once the butt plug is in, just leave it there and continue to keep him aroused. It may very well take multiple sessions before he is comfortable with the butt plug inserted and starts to feel pleasure. This is the time and patience part of the training.

A word of caution: this can, and should be done without any pain. If he feels any pain, stop whatever you're doing and reassess the situation. While there is a great deal of opportunity for pleasure with anal play, there is also a chance that it will be painful for him, or worse, cause some damage to some very delicate tissue. So, go slow and make sure you know what you're doing before proceeding.

Early Preparation:

• You'll need really good lube meant for anal play. Sliquid Silk (amazon link) and Sliquid Sassy (amazon link) are excellent examples of water-based lubes designed for this purpose. Coconut oil is great too, but it is a bit messy, so put down towels before you open the jar. Some people even put down painter's plastic sheeting beforehand. I’ve found Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (amazon link), to be excellent. Protip: There is nothing better for hand-jobs than coconut oil.
  
  
• If you decide to try Coconut oil, it will usually come in a wide-mouth jar, which can be cumbersome to handle once the fun starts. So, consider moving the oil to a liquid-tight container like this one or an old lube dispenser that has been thoroughly cleaned. Transfer can be done by first immersing the sealed jar in a sink full of hot water to liquefy the oil first. A secondary benefit of transferring the oil to a new container is the chance of contaminating the oil is much lower.
  
  
• If you decide to use a different lube, try to avoid ones that contain any parabens (e.g., methylparaben, ethylparaben & propylparaben) as they seem to exhibit weak endocrine disruption properties. In addition, a small percentage of people are also allergic to parabens and get contact dermatitis when exposed to it. Ever get a rash from poison ivy? Same thing. Although pretty benign, Glycerin should also be avoided because it can act as a laxative.
  
  
• If you're squeamish about the possibility of getting a bit of poop on your finger, buy suitable nitrile (not latex) exam gloves like these.
  
  
• Another option for those that want to minimize the risk of poop messing up the festivities is to get yourself an eight ounce rectal syringe from the local pharmacy or Amazon (amazon link) to flush out any poop in the rectum. Instructions for use are below.
  
  
• Trim fingernail(s) short and make sure there are no sharp edges. This is super important.
  
  
• Optionally, get yourself some sugarless Metamucil and follow the directions on the container for several days beforehand. The psyllium fiber in the Metamucil will encapsulate digested food so very little feces is left in the rectum once you poop. This can really help if your diet is low in fiber.
  
  Pre-fun Preparation:
  
  
• If you purchased the rectal syringe mentioned above, about a half-hour before the fun commences, fill the syringe with lukewarm water (it shouldn't feel very warm to the touch). This can be accomplished by squeezing the bulb, dipping the tip into your source of water, releasing the bulb and let it fill up with water, then tip the syringe up and squeeze the bulb again until water just starts to squirt out. While water is squirting out, quickly dip the tip back into the water and release the bulb. Repeat this process until the syringe is full of water with no air inside. Lube up your anus and the tip, and while sitting on the toilet, gently insert the tip all the way in and then gently (you don't want to squirt water up too far) squeeze the bulb until it's nearly empty and then slowly pull it out. You can then expel the water and any poop fragments. Repeat until the expelled water runs clear. This sounds involved, but can be done in a few minutes once you get the hang of it. Optimally, this procedure should be done shortly after pooping.
  
  
• Have him pee beforehand. His bladder is just above his prostate (i.e., further in), and it might be uncomfortable for him if you hit his full bladder with your finger.
  
  Now for the fun part:
  
  
• You need to get him very aroused, which will engorge his prostate as it prepares for ejaculation. This will make it much easier to palpate through the rectal wall, and will also increase the amount of pleasure once you locate it.
  
  
• Have him lie on his back with his knees bent, or have him hug his legs for better access. Having him on his back will give you access to his penis for the optional hand-job and/or blow-job
  
  
• Lube up his anus and your finger and then slowly insert your finger into his anus, adding lube as needed. If you feel resistance to the point of any pain, then he’s not relaxed enough and you need to stop until he is relaxed.
  
  
• Once you’re in, he may feel like he needs to poop. This is normal and will (hopefully) pass.
  
  
• Once you're in as far as you can get, start gently feeling around the anterior wall of his rectum, toward his genitals, for a lump of tissue that is firmer than everything else. It will be one to two inches in.
  
  
• Once he gasps and starts moaning from the pleasure, you found it :-) If you can’t find it, he is likely not aroused enough, so give him a blow-job or hand-job to help you locate it.
  
  
• Now experiment with the position, motion and amount of pressure to maximize pleasure. Some guys won’t like direct stimulation, so move to either side of the prostate.
  
  
• At this point, he could have a diamond-cutter of an erection, or go totally limp. He might enjoy a hand job, or just want to concentrate on the back door feelings. It varies from guy to guy, so experiment for best results. For me, penile stimulation and prostate stimulation are both pleasurable, but different and conflicting sensations, so I like to enjoy prostate stimulation followed by penile stimulation. Again, your guy may be different and want them simultaneously.
  
  
• Assuming your guy is like me, once he's worked up enough, you can slowly withdraw your finger and wipe off any poop. If you're wearing a glove, just make a fist, grab the cuff and pull the glove off inside-out. Quickly wash-up as you don't want to invite any gut bacteria to the festivities.
  
  
• He is likely now primed for a world-class orgasm, so feel free to give him a hand-job, blow-job, or whatever feels right at the time.
  
  
• For me, the most intense full-body grand mal seizure-like orgasms are achieved after edging for a few minutes after my wife has had her way with my prostate. It has taken me a few years of experimentation to achieve this, so don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen to you immediately. My orgasms are very much like the intense non-ejaculatory orgasms mentioned in many threads on Reddit, including this one and this one.

I'm surprised there's not a market for "fun" hospital gowns. Scrubs used to be so boring but now they come in so many colors, Disney, etc.

Good luck with your dialysis. 💜

Edit: I found these on Amazon. Gownies - Designer Hospital Patient Gown, 100% Cotton, Hospital Stay (Small/Medium, Anais) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FN33W31/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JwFQCbCZQ6MCE

Non powdered nitrile gloves. I use blue gloves from Amazon.

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00GS8VGP6

Try these masks, they have an extra band at the bottom and a band in the middle that prevents airflow going up into your loupes. Might reduce that fog some. https://www.amazon.com/ValuMax-5630ADE-LP-Double-ArchAway-Masks/dp/B076K7MTS8/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=valumax+mask&qid=1566860320&s=industrial&sr=1-15

A garage is a good choice as long as it's not freezing in there when you're operating the printer. Most resins need to be between 30 to 40C to cure optimally. Some printers have heaters specifically to keep the resin nice and fluid. So, bear that in mind when you make your choice.

I honestly don't know how dangerous the fumes are, but you won't want to breathe it after you sniff it anyway. Most UV resin has a burned plastic-like smell. It is fairly acrid and no one recommends breathing it, of course. I personally find it pretty intolerable.

That said, the fumes are easy to control if you choose a sealed machine (one without any holes in the case) such as the Peopoly Moai. Sealed machines can sit with resin in the vat essentially forever without leaking any fumes, which means you don't need to have active ventilation on the machine while it's printing or just sitting idle. Machines that do have ventilation, such as the Anycubic Photon, will require either a well-ventilated room (again, a garage is ideal) or they'll need to be connected to a duct to a window while in operation. You can cover the vents on most of those machines when the machine isn't in use.

Most of the fumes that you'll be exposed to are during clean up when you remove parts from the build plate and wash them in isopropyl alcohol or methanol to remove the uncured resin. This is a messy, smelly, and slightly dangerous business that involves sharp blades and splashing. Some people like to wear a respirator for this. I don't use a respirator, but only because I have a fairly powerful ventilation system. I keep my SLA printer in a small 10'x10' repurposed bedroom which normally has terrible ventilation, so I operate a 6" inline duct HVAC fan with a duct to a window. That fan easily clears the air in the room in just a few minutes. And if I run the duct directly over my cleaning vats, I can't even smell the alcohol fumes. So if you're going to do your cleanup in a small area like that, then I highly recommend some kind of ducted ventilation system.

Your cleaning station can also be tailored to contain fumes. I highly suggest buying at least three cheap rectangular 1-gallon tupperware containers with tight lids (like these). Use one of them as a drip-tray while removing parts from the build plate, use a second for alcohol cleaning, and use a third for water rinse. The lids will keep the fumes contained, and it'll save your alcohol from evaporating. It's cheap and effective.

Just a side note, during cleanup, it's absolutely mandatory to wear eye protection and disposable gloves. Get used to idea of using a lot of gloves. I buy them in lots of 1000.

I work as a paramedic and have seen disposable medical shorts that the hospital gives to patients on occasion. They seem very light weight and affordable. They feel as if they would last a while if just being used as laundry pants.

I agree with what /u/jayfromo says about Dr. David Lim. I'll add my personal experience with rolling scars. I no longer have acne (10+ years now acne free) but the evidence of my severe cystic breakouts still exist in the form of rolling and boxcar scarring on my face.

 

Vitamin C, Copper Peptides, Niacinamide, Differin/Adapele – For indented scarring? I always wonder... who out there actually brought up a grade 4 scar up to a grade 1 using these?

 

0.1% Tretinoin, 5x a week, for 13 months. – Honestly, nothing appreciable in terms of raising indented scars level to the rest of my skin. It accelerated skin turnover/growth.. which would be great for PIH but not for PIE or scars. I gave up on this, my face was always way lighter than the rest of my body, it was itchy, peeling, and my face always felt raw. Yes, I could probably have lived #SlugLife (dedicate my mornings and evenings to heavy moisturizing with occlusives like Vaseline) but it just wasn't something I wanted to commit to or present to the world. I would rate tretinoin an F for indented rolling/boxcar scar improvement. If you have indents in your skin, that means you have banded scarring tissue deep in the papillary dermis (past the the epidermis) that is anchoring/tethering the skin layers above it down (this is what an indentation is).

 

Infini RF Microneedling, 3 sessions in office – This also did very little, but I was able to notice improvement (barely). It was not worth the $3000 total that I spent here in Southern California. It wasn't painful (they numbed my face for an hour before each session), it was super bloody, and my face looked like I fought and lost to a blowtorch for 5-6 days, then an additional 1-3 days on top of that to fully restore back to "normal." I would rate in-office microneedling with RF a D+, considering the price to performance ratio. I understand the "benefits" of the Radio Frequency (basically heating up and melting the skin) but it was just as effective as the next thing I tried below...

 

Derminator 2, 2.5mm depth, 6 at-home sessions – Figuring that I could continue the results of microneedling without the cost, I ordered a Derminator 2 device and several packs of their needle cartridges. Again, numbed my face and went to down on my cheeks and forehead (though on my forehead I could only tolerate 1.5mm). There's definitely a psychological element to this, as you're causing pain and trauma to yourself... but I was desperate and wanted these scars to raise. I would rate at-home microneedling with a C-. Rated higher than Infini RF microneedling solely because of price ($200 for the device and $4 per needle cartridge).

 

TCA CROSS, 80%, one time – This would is a bit difficult to assess for several reasons, primarily because I stopped after one session and moved on to weekly 30% Salicylic Acid peels. TCA CROSS is primarily for ice pick scarring... and boxcar scarring.. because you're creating a very deep tunnel wound right down to the papillary dermis. Imagine a zen garden. The sand is your skin. Create lines in the sand with a rake. That's scarring caused by damage. Now drop a basketball onto the areas that have been raked. That's also damage, but you're kind of leveling out or canceling the damage done by the rake. Works great on super narrow and deep points, because you're replacing severe damage with not-so-severe damage. Wouldn't recommend it for the wider rolling scarring since you may in fact be making the appearance worse. The idea is that the skin will heal up to a point that ends with an improvement over your baseline start. You will scab, and it will leave post inflammatory pigmentation that (in my case) lasted 7-8 weeks. It was random though... my forehead didn't have PIH when the scabs healed but my cheeks did. I only had TCA on my boxcar scars. Not going to rate this, but I did have this done on July 27, 2019. Today, the PIH from it is now mostly faded from this. If you do get TCA CROSS done, do not pick the scars. Vaseline up. Work from home if that's an option, or do this during a week break if you're in school. The scabs were not cute...

 

30% Salicylic Acid Peel, at-home, 6 times so far – Ah, finally some good news. I ran across a reddit comment that inspired me to try this. This guy writes:

> I had severe cystic acne as a teenager that left my face covered in scars. Accutane completely cleared up the acne. It’s been five years since I stopped taking it and I’ve had maybe two or three tiny spots in my fact since then. Unfortunately, the scars persisted for much longer. I’ve found that salicylic acid is very effective at getting rid of scars and hyperpigmentation. Not the 1-2% stuff that you put on and leave on all day for acne treatment, but stronger peels that you apply for a few minutes then rinse off. I use a 20% salicylic acid peel once a week and my acne scars have faded to the point where you only really see them if you look up super close.

Then I ran across a research study here that concludes this:

> Conclusion: The present results suggest that the architecture of the epidermis and the papillary dermis can be regenerated by simply injuring the cornified layer by using topical agents such as salicylic acid that do not cause degeneration or inflammation ... The findings of this study suggest that impairing the cornified layer may have essential effect on the remodeling of the epidermis as well as of the papillary dermis.

Basically, you don't have to go to the extremes of damaging all the layers of your skin with lasers/needles/TCA down to where the banded scarring tissue is tethered. Salicylic Acid at 30%, applied for 20 minutes (I go for 30 minutes, it's fine...) will kick start a process in your skin that causes remodeling and improvement.

 

So I hopped onto Amazon, and got this. I put about 3ml of it into a shot glass, wash and dry my face, put a nitrile glove on, dip a small square piece of gauze in it, and "paint" my scarred areas with it. Within 2-3 minutes it really starts to sting and heat up. I just sit in front of my bathroom mirror with desk fan pointed at my face and watch YouTube or Netflix on my phone. I keep the glove on and re-dip the solution using the gauze pad and apply to my face every 5-7 minutes. The lightest layer possible. After 30 minutes or so, I get up, take the glove off, and my carefully rinse off the solution ensuring no water gets in my eyes. For some reason, once water comes in contact with the solution... my face starts to really sting.. but I keep rinsing for another minute and it goes away. Pat dry... your face will look blistered for maybe 10 minutes (the skin doesn't break, it's fine). Then you'll look slightly pink and sunburned for 3-4 hours. I'm able to go about my day after that, or go right to sleep since usually I'm doing this on Sunday nights.

 

I've done this 6 times now and I want to say I have an overall improvement of 50%. It's definitely noticeable. Way more improvement from an $18 bottle (I get 5 uses from it) than I did spending $$$$ on office procedures, or days hiding at home because of "tretinoin flaking."

 

Everyone's different, maybe some have had holy grail success with the expensive in-office options, but I went that route first... and I wish I didn't. Salicylic Acid is one of the least hardcore and least invasive options out of anything you could be doing to level your scarring... even at 30% strength.

 

Anyways, just wanted to share my experience because I know how it is struggling with intended rolling scars, and the literature/studies out there are few and far between. Just because something is expensive, doesn't mean it's the end all be all. Remember that these dermatology offices, laser treatment facilities, medspas/whatever, are out to make a profit. They're educated, they're licensed, and they're also a business. Fancy devices with marketing. Whichever options you pursue, I wish you the best of luck and hope you find something that brings your skin to a level that is satisfactory to you!

• Wear a Michael Myers mask.
  
  
• Wear a hospital mask.
  
  
• Pretend you have Tourettes and Tardive dyskinesia.

• Wear a Mormon missionary badge and carry a Book of Mormon.
  
  
• Wear some dark sunglasses and vampire fangs.

I am not squeamish at all, but am hoping to avoid the epidural to mitigate the risk of a panic attack. The idea of an unmedicated birth is scary, but I think the fear of the alternative will carry me through. I just want to be able to be present in the moment my son is born, not hyperventilating or dissociating. I'm sure you don't want to be unconscious, so I think you may understand my feeling.

If you choose to take the chance with an epi, that's a totally great choice too! But you are mentally much stronger than you probably think. When writing your birth plan, think about what comforts you in your day-to-day life: For me, I love baths, so if I can't get a tub for laboring, I'll be under the shower. Wearing hospital gowns puts me on edge, so I'll be bringing a cute one I found on Amazon with comfy socks. Whatever makes you happy and more secure, you'll want even with an epidural!

Sorry, that ended up being more rambling than I intended but I hope some of it helps.

We are a 20 minute drive from the hospital and husband will not leave my side, so I'd like to get everything in. I'm a notorious overpacker, too, but I'd rather have something I don't need than have not have something that I do need.

  Skill-set wise I'm confident in my ability to not make things worse. I've taken several classes in first-aid and am first(worst?)-responder certified and have taken a couple additional classes.
  
  The things I carry don't take up much space and are within the scope of my training. I am fortunate in that I live in the US and have ready access (most of the time) to advanced medical treatment via BLS/ALS and hospitals and I take that into consideration when thinking about what I carry on my person.
  
  In my vehicle and my bag I carry a couple additional items that could be helpful were I to stumble upon a collision or something like that. My first responsibility is to my family (wife and children) and after that I'm willing to help where I can if necessary. I've also always reasoned that if I'm going to carry tools by which I can punch high-velocity holes in a person from a distance, I should be able to effectively provide aid to deal with those injuries.

If the ink on your hands is from re-filling maybe invest in some nitrile gloves

Surprisingly cheap and will keep your hands clean during re-fills.

Barring that maybe use the disposable Varsity FP's. No mess from re-filling.

I got mine through Amazon (currently $256 US).

There are some additional costs to be aware of though.

1. Resin (~$40): I'm using Elegoo Grey
   
2. 99% IPA (~$3) For cleaning prints
   
3. UV Light (~$30) for curing
   
4. Gloves (~$10) It comes with some, but you'll be replacing those quickly
   
5. Ventilation (~$100) depending on where you're printing.
   
   It can add up if you're not careful. So plan for an additional $200.

Color changing silica + resealable, one sided mylar baggies

I wrap the L in aluminum and place it in the baggie with a silica packet. If/when the silica packet soaks up 50% of its maximum moisture, it changes color, so at a glance you can see if the packet needs to be changed out. I keep mine in the fridge, but with that setup you could honestly keep it basically anywhere that's not too warm.

One other thing, and this is going into slightly paranoid territory, but when you're talking about 30 years it pays to be a little paranoid :p The oil from your skin will degrade your LSD. I usually have about a sheet that I peel blotters off of over the course of a year. What I found was that once I got towards the end of the batch, it was weaker. I'm guessing handling it caused the issue since I kept it in mylar with silica. So I bought some nitrile gloves for handling the blotters and haven't seen any degradation since. Basically if you touch your blotters, the oil gets onto them, and then it just sits there for a year eating away at your L. If you're a normal person and only keep it for ~a month, it's negligible. If you're keeping it for a year+, you've got to consider small shit like that.

To further reduce its exposure, I like to keep my stash divided into two bags. The first one is the bulk of my stash, and the second is what I use. So I open the second one and grab some, put the rest back... then once its empty, I add more to it from the first bag, so I end up handling the bulk of my stash rather infrequently.

There are some cute ones here.

A woodworking faceshield would be a part of my kit to start if droplet infection is still in play - just to be on the safe side.

It wouldn't take long to know for sure via media or medical sources in the first few weeks of ZA or worst case 1st or 2nd hand experience and make the decision to upgrade or downgrade spatter protection.

I would probably wear cheap safety glasses or goggles to maintain clear vision even if droplet infection was ruled out.

Medical masks/droplet shields, Swat face shield, industrial PAPRs would be on my scavenge list if droplet infection was in.

These are the gloves I get in bulk, they are way cheaper this way. Purchase 1 case per year.

Yes clean around wound. The flap has to go. It’s going to bleed when it’s clipped but that’s good cause you’re getting healthy tissue with blood vessels.

Think that covers basics. Alcohol, self adhesive wrap, salt for saline, styptic powder, gauze, theracyn (antibiotic for superficial injuries), silver nitrate (only use with wooden applicators- strong cauterizing agent), pipette, electrolyte ( 1/16 tsp to 8 oz water. If chick is ill add honey for quick energy then mix solution with food to make mash), bottles, betadine ( I cut to 50% strength with saline), and gorilla glue with brush and dispenser. Oh and gloves and shaver:)

Seriously, buy nitrile gloves. I use them to refill pens, painting model cars, fixing the lawnmower, etc. really any potentially messy project
