Hey! So we just dealt with happy tail with our rescue. After about 8 weeks it's finally healed. The first vet we saw told us there was no hope and we should amputate, but we got a second opinion and worked really hard and she's all healed for now. Here's the method we used that kept the tail completely protected so she couldn't re injure it.

Foam tubing cut to size and placed over the area that's injured (the tip in our case).

Tape the tubing on with elastikon. Tape long ways and then also wrap in a spiral. This is vet tape works way better than any other kind I tried. My vet agreed. When you wrap, PLACE the tape on then pat down to stick, DO NOT stretch and wrap tightly or you will cut off circulation. I recommend removing tape after a day and checking circulation when you start until you become comfortable with your method.

Every other day, clean the wound with gauze and chlorhexidine cleanser (can find in wound care section at any pharmacy).

Medical adhesive remover to remove elastikon without ripping off all the fur. Seriously that stuff sticks really well. However, if you use it you have to wash it off and wait for fur to dry before re bandaging because the elastikon won't stick otherwise. I found that sometimes I could get the elastikon off without it by gently peeling but not always.

Derma gel on the wound before bandaging.

This method was highly vet approved (by the 2nd vet) and she was even impressed and said I did an excellent job. Our Bella had a bad case of happy tail and wouldn't heal bc she kept whacking it on everything. Once we started this method it was protected. Like I said, it took about 2 months bc hers was so bad, but it's healed now. Good luck!

Honesty I agree with your doctors it's not the biggest deal.

Emma Watson at age 23

She has terrible forehead wrinkles at age 23 (and at 26 now they're just as bad/worse) but no big deal. Emma's wrinkles are due to non-stop constant eyebrow/forehead lifting though (very obvious in her acting and interviews)

At 17 your skin is way too elastic with too much collagen to develop wrinkles by itself, so I'm guessing you move your forehead a lot. Stop doing that.

The most basic way to prevent/delay wrinkles is to hydrate your skin with a good moisturizer morning and night and to use sunscreen to prevent sun damage.

One thing I've done that 100% works (it sounds crazy but it really works and it's not a your mileage may vary, but it will work for everyone as long as your wrinkles aren't like super deep, but they shouldn't be at your age)...it's to stretch your forehead skin wide (with your fingers/hands) to smooth out the wrinkles and then to place tape firmly over it (while the skin is stretched wide) and do this before you go to sleep and leave it that way overnight. This will temporarily smoothen out the wrinkles and as long as you do not use your forehead muscle, it will stay wrinkle free. However, even just a day of moving your forehead muscles a bit will undo the effects immediately.

This is how frownies products work....but for long horizontal forehead wrinkles, what works imo better and easier is to use nexcare 3m tape

For your expression lines under your eyes and on the corners...you have two options that I've also used to excellent effect. But again, these are temporary, as in they really work well, but once you stop doing it or start doing a lot of expressive work, the lines come back.

Well hydrated skin stretches well...think of Paper. If you fold a piece of paper, you get a line down the center that doesn't go away even if you smooth out the paper right? But lets say you wet the paper and fold it...no wrinkles.

I know weird example lol because wet, soggy paper tears or breaks apart, but your skin obviously does not tear or break apart when wet and making expressions.

Anyway, in the morning you smooth a generous amount of Vaseline or aquaphor or cerave healing ointment over your expression lines (you have to use enough that it doesn't rub in and disappear). This will leave you looking greasy though and relatively noticeable to other people when they're at talking distance to you....but it keeps your skin extremely hydrated during the day that prevents the lines from making expressions like smiling and laughing and heals the current lines.

The alternative to this to avoid looking super greasy is to use a 100% silicone gel like scaraway but that's really expensive.

The tape method and Vaseline method heal existing wrinkles AND prevent new ones/worsening, but again they only work as long as you do it constantly and also limit your expression movement. Well, for the Vaseline, you can still smile a lot and it works, but you'll have to look greasy forever, whereas for the tape one, since it's at night, you don't need it during the day but if you use your forehead muscle during the day, the wrinkles come back gradually.

Retin a is excellent for wrinkles and the younger you start, the better the effects, but you have to be diligent about sunscreen use. Retin-A needs a prescription though and it doesn't sound like your doctors will prescribe you it, so you can get it through curology (relatively expensive at $240 a year) or cheaper through foreign pharmacies.

Glycolic acid is the same and it available OTC.

So about patches falling off and whatnot, that used to happen to me. I ended up ordering a roll of Tegraderm from Amazon. It's nice because it's waterproof but really thin so I don't really feel it. I end up using this stuff to help get it off otherwise I end up pulling off a layer of skin and things being red and irritated for a while. As for changing it a day early I can't imagine that would hurt anything.

On the subject of changes that's a super ymmv kind of thing and strongly dependant on what your levels look like. Depending on your starting dosages they could be heading in the right direction but not where they need to be to see meaningful effects and even once they are out may take a bit before you see anything noticeable. Honestly subtle mental effects are what I saw first. At the time I want sure if it was just being excited at making progress or if what I was seeing was real (significant reduction in anxiety and a generally more positive mood and outlook; I was generally a happier person). In hindsight I can honestly say I think it was both because when my levels got a bit outta whack I felt worse and my anxiety levels were higher on average for no discernable reason. Upon raising my E dosage I started feeling better within a couple days. But that's my experience and yours may be totally different; I know I never experienced some of the things that seem to be otherwise fairly common.

Hope that helps!

I casually collect headphones so have a lot of models to compare to. They actually compete well at their price point—there’s a premium for the (very well executed) wireless and obviously don’t buy them if you don’t have an Apple device, but otherwise they sound much better than generic EarPods and on par with other $120+ models I own.

However, it will depend a lot on your ear shape. If they sit well and fill the hole completely they’re surprisingly bassy; if they don’t, they sound much weaker.

The fidelity is actually fairly good compared to my other $150ish headphones. You’ll get good treble and mids regardless of the fit. Isolation is meh but if you get the fit right you can keep the volume low enough they effectively don’t leak and still have them be plenty loud. If they fit poorly they leak as you’ll crank volume to compensate for the lack of any seal.

You can adjust fit. I use little donut shaped foam earbud covers you can buy on Amazon and they sit very well. You can also use Nexcare tape and a hole punch to create little adhesive pads and adjust fit with those. Both ways are compatible with the charging case.

Biggest knock is having to do the DIY fit instead of having proper tips, but they were never sold as IEMs. They’re closer to the Bose sport in-ear headphones that intentionally don’t have a full seal. Once you get past that they are very good daily drivers.

Edit: should acknowledge SoundMagic and others have <$50 wired earphones that sound nearly as good. Cheap models performing at that level are few and far between but do exist. There are also wireless full-size headphones (Backbeat Pro comes right to mind) that blow these away for less money.

However, I definitely haven’t found that kind of bargain performance in wireless earphones I can shove in my pocket as part of EDC and these compete well there.

stock up HEAVILY on cotton gauze, paper tape, aquaphor, and steri strips. steri strips are amazing. my surgeon placed inch long pieces all along my incisions, and told me to keep them on until they fell off. as they fell off i replaced them with longer pieces because the swelling made me feel like i was going to pop open. i pulled them off in the shower every few days to replace with clean pieces and i wore them for a few weeks after i had my stitches taken out, really until i felt like my skin had come back together. i liked to put bandaid brand gauze pads over my regular thin gauze for cushioning under clothing and to keep aquaphor on the skin. aquaphor will be really helpful in keeping incisions moist so they don't scab but also will help the gauze not stick to any pus or blood within the incisions.
also a nice fan will help keep you comfy and is great for air drying your skin after showers before reapplying tape and gauze (:

i found this bra to be the absolute comfiest. the fabric is thick and soft and the back is mesh for ventilation.

u/encaseme · 1 pointr/BDSMcommunity

Some "atypical" stuff:

Plastic Wrap That particular brand is my favorite. Very glossy, smooth, and tightens just the right amount (not too much, but enough).

Microfoam tape soft, stretchy, skin-safe tape. Perfect for mouths, eyes, and other openings :) Not strong enough to hold someone in a bind (like around the wrists) but good for other purposes.

Vinyl Tape Good for more secure bindings, but be careful stretching it too tight, can really shrink back up and squeeze someone too hard.

etc :)

u/bummer_camp · 2 pointsr/ftm

A lot of this depends on your surgeon's instructions, but here's my experience:

Shower: after drains come out. For me this was 8 days post-op. If you're feeling icky during the time you have your drains in you can have someone wipe you down with a washcloth and/or wash your hair in the sink for you. You can also sit in a really shallow bath- def have a pair of swim trunks around if you want help bathing from someone you don't want to be naked in front of.

Sleeping shirtless: I was shirtless from day one, it was a heat wave and 95+ every day my first week post-op. I had to wear a compression top, but I slept in just that. My surgeon had me wear the compression top 24/7 for the first two weeks (including the week when I had drains) and then only at night for another two weeks. Then I slept completely shirtless, although I can't remember how long I covered my nips with nonstick pads. Def not more than 6 weeks though.

Being shirtless in the sun: It's generally recommended that you wait a full year before exposing your scars to direct sunlight. This is especially important in the first 3-4 months when your scars are forming/healing. If you're not worried too much about your scars you can go ahead and be shirtless, but if you're cautious I would wait. I'm coming up on 11 months post op and my scars have yet to see direct sunlight. There's mixed opinions out there on whether or not scar tape can adequately protect your scars from the sun, it could be a good option if you want to go shirtless. I also came across this tape that has a zinc-oxide base, which could be promising since zinc oxide is the active ingredient in physical sunscreens. You could also use a zinc oxide based sunscreen if you don't wanna use tape.

Swimming: My surgeon said to wait 6 weeks to swim. You could probably go waist deep in a pool as soon as your incisions and grafts are healed.

u/Rpgbron · 19 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

NO! dermarolling should not be used on raised scars! If you decide to attempt anyway, try it out in just a single scar or two, but all dire warnings against dermarolling on raised or "Kelloid scars"- which can make them worse!

For raised scars, use silicone scar tape, which is what it's made for! I recommend buying the tape instead of the bandages, it sticks better and is far cheaper! Also, when you remove the tape strips, lay them out on clean plastic baggies, and you can then reuse the same tape a number of times before the adhesive starts to go, and no longer sticks very well.

DO NOT use the 3M "kind" tape unless you have no other choice. It doesn't stick as well, and if you attempt to wear overnight, it will just fall off. I recommend trying this one, $16 on Amazon for about 6 feet of tape, should be more than enough to cover both arms. https://www.amazon.com/CicaTape-Soft-Silicone-Tape-1-57in/dp/B076FHBDDD/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520719565&sr=8-6&keywords=silicone+medical+tape

Oh to explain further why you should not dermaroll raised scars. When scar tissue is raised, it means the skin there has already been thickened due to wounding. So dermarolling will only further wound, and thicken the skin even more, making the scar more prominent. I

Dermarolling is only effective on scars that are indented, because wounds the indented skin, to thicken and and raise it back to the level of the surrounding skin. This is why you should not dermaroll raised scars.

Oh, and to make the silicon tape last longer, shave your arms first. The adhesive on the tape isn't that strong, and probably wouldn't pull out much arm hair, if any, but you want to lay the tape on very clean skin with as little "stickies" as possible, to make the adhesive work better and last longer. Seriously, safest, most effective method.

u/amadeoamante · 5 pointsr/ftm

Forget that expensive shit, get mepitac. Same stuff, a quarter of the price. Here's the one that I used: https://smile.amazon.com/Mepitac-298300-Soft-Silicone-Tape/dp/B002VE9AL8

The strips stay on for about a week. At that price I didn't bother trying to wash and reuse them, I just put new ones on when the old ones wouldn't stay anymore. I did find it helpful to cut several smaller strips for my chest scars because it doesn't adhere as well when you curve it, so I just overlapped the ends of 2 straight pieces. That'll depend on how curved your scars are though.

I can't say how well they work because I put them on both sides so have nothing to compare to. But you're supposed to wear them 24/7 for as long as you can. It's pretty easy to put them on and forget about them. I actually continued wearing mine because my scars were really red at first and it covered them up so they didn't stand out as much. They're silicone and stick to you without needing anything else. They don't hurt coming off, but you will want to peel them slowly. Shaving might make them adhere better, but I didn't really bother. Then again my chest hair isn't super dense. If it is, you probably would want to shave. And yes, you can put them on whenever you want before/after your revision, although you'll want to wait until the incisions heal before putting it on where you have the revisions. It won't look mismatched, you'll be fine. :)

Another benefit of the strips is not needing to worry about sun exposure on your scars if you go out shirtless. And for me it felt reassuring to have something over the scars, as well as kept them from rubbing on my shirt. I used them for about a year and a half (I had a revision too) before I got tired of messing with them.

u/kleineganz · 2 pointsr/ftm

Yeah, they took my stitches out at my second post op and I'm now using Mederma on my scars daily plus wearing silicone tape over my incisions. I got several recommendations on silicone tape and opted for this one and my surgeon approved: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076FHBDDD/. They are having me cut it in half lengthwise because it's wider than my incisions (which will also make it last longer). It stays sticky and my surgeon told me I could keep reusing the same tape for about 1 week before changing it out.

So what I'm doing is massaging the Mederma into the scars, letting it dry, and then putting the silicone tape on top of it (post shower, you don't want to get the silicone tape wet, that'll make it lose its stickiness). Apparently, silicone is the trick to minimizing scars.

The hospital gave me an ace wrap but I went out and bought a compression vest (so much easier to take on and off). They aren't cheap but for me it was worth it. (This is the vest I got if you're interested: https://recovery.marena.com/products/mvs-compression-vest?variant=14424304844842 ).

Good luck and good healing!

u/souliisoul · 2 pointsr/CPTSD

Thank you, it helps me remember I'm worthy of loving care. I like those ideas for eyemask improvements!

I use a single strip each night.. in the morning I hang the used tape on the edge of a shelf above my bed, then when I have three used strips, I combine them and it works as well as a fresh strip.

Post #2:

Preparation:

getting the supplies

Agar agar powder. [US](https://www.amazon.com/Telephone-Product-Thailand-Powder-Ounce/dp/B01KMHY2OU/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Special-Ingredients-Premium-Gelatine-European/dp/B00EZMPMNE)

Always start with agar! And don't throw old fully colonized plates out. Some contaminants (e.g. mycogone, AKA wet bubble disease will only show up after full colonization (white blobs oozing yellow/orange fluid). and that one (mycogone) will fck up your grow hard, been there done that...

Light malt extract. [US](https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Light-Dried-Malt-Extract/dp/B007XYGBXQ/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Balliihoo-Light-Spraymalt-1Kg-Bag/dp/B0153BASSY/)

Containers for no pour agar (Pasty Plates). [US](https://www.amazon.com/Glad-Food-Storage-Containers-Round/dp/B000WGBMMM/) [Europe](https://www.flaschenbauer.de/einmachglaeser/sturzglaeser/sturzglas-225-ml-to-82) (maybe use Google translate on that site). Also if you are in North America there are Glad mini rounds, they are used in the original Pasty Plate tek. They also have [430ml jars](https://www.flaschenbauer.de/einmachglaeser/sturzglaeser/sturzglas-430-ml-to-82) suitable as substrate containers

A pressure cooker. Good ones are a b**ch to find in Europe. I wouldn't buy [that one](https://www.ebay.de/itm/Pressure-cooker-17L-Stainless-steel-Made-In-Turkey-Largest-Size/133128864948) or similar constructed ones, they are complete s**t, build up next to no pressure and need ungodly amounts of water. I have two of them, but had to do some haphazard MacGyveresqe hacking to get them to sterilize properly, I'll bring that up later.

I also have a Fagor Alu 22 (22 liters, fits eleven quart bottles), but I think that model went out of production in 2017 without a replacement. IMHO the only sane option in Europe right now, would be to order a Presto from the US, they're ~80€ + 40€ shipping, so not that bad. [Presto 23 quart PC](https://www.amazon.com/Presto-Aluminum-23-Quart-Pressure-Canner/dp/B073NCFL2L/)

Also on US websites like shroomery, you'll always read something like "sterilize 90min @ 15 psi". Pressure cookers in Europe usually have no gauges and only go to 50-70 kPa (~7-10 psi). It isn't as bad as it sounds, since sterilization time isn't linear with pressure/temperature. I've found I can get away with 120 min sterilization time for grains, 75 min for PF sub and 30 min for agar.

Scalpel handle and blades. [US](https://www.amazon.com/100-Scalpel-Blades-One-Handle/dp/B01MPX3JTI/) [Europe](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Swann-Morton-Handle-5-10-Blades/dp/B004OIAVJY/)

A rack to elevate your agar dishes while you do transfers, like these that come with microwave ovens (contaminants tend to collect on the SABs bottom).

A slightly wet towel to put the SAB on. Some people disagree on this, I use the towel to absorb the sprayed soap/water mix and not having that run off the table.

A clear box that's modified as a SAB. I use this one as a SAB, maybe they ship outside Germany. Anyway the manufacturer is kis.it (builds the monotub too), so I think they might be available elsewhere in Europe: https://www.obi.de/aufbewahrungsboxen/obi-allzweckbox-santos-transparent-oversize-140-l/p/3333341?template=PDP&box=box4

More clear boxes used to fruit bottles (basically a monotub, just with individual substrate containers). I use these as unmodded monos (no holes, no flipped lid, lids not latched): https://www.obi.de/aufbewahrungsboxen/obi-allzweckbox-cadiz-l-mit-4-rollen-transparent/p/1930387.

In a mass casualty situation, I would completely ignore anyone that needed CPR and focus on the bleeders. The time you spend giving one person CPR could be used stabilizing a dozen people who are bleeding.

For extremities, the most useful thing is a tourniquet. I prefer one with a windlass like a [CAT] (https://www.amazon.com/C--Combat-Application-Tourniquet-GENERATION/dp/B018R73OWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623443&sr=8-1&keywords=gen+7+cat+tourniquet) or [SOFTT] (https://www.amazon.com/Tac-Med-Solutions-SOFTT-W-Tourniquet/dp/B00E3W3BK2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623620&sr=8-2&keywords=sof-t) over a [TK4] (https://www.amazon.com/H-Associates-TK4-Tourniquet/dp/B003YHGKF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623679&sr=8-1&keywords=tk4+tourniquet) or [SWAT] (https://www.amazon.com/SWAT-T-Tourniquet-Black-1-Count/dp/B003IWNOVO/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623735&sr=8-2&keywords=swat+tourniquet).

For injuries to the abdomen, armpit, crotch, or neck; you will want a homeostatic agent. [Combat Gauze] (https://www.amazon.com/QuickClot-Combat-Gauze-Z-Fold/dp/B001E1CLTC/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623859&sr=8-1&keywords=combat+gauze) is the way to go here, it is much better than powdered QuickClot.

For penetrating chest trauma (also called 'sucking chest wounds'), you need a large, occlusive bandage on both the entry and exit.

I use these. I'm only 4 months post op, so I can't speak for their long term, but they're cheap, and as someone who's got a fair amount of hypertrophic scarring going on, I can tell that they're definitely flattening them. They also feel mad soft every time I change them.

I also use Alex Haney's DIY scar cream in between. I like it a lot, and it's super easy to make!

I see some other ladies mentioning tape, and having tried basically all methods and types of tape, I think medical/surgical tape is my favourite. It’s quite clear, which is a bonus, plus it’s meant to maintain its hold to keep iv’sand tubes in place no matter how much the skin sweats etc so I find it holds all day no problem!

This is the type of tape I’m referring to: 3M Transpore Clear 1-Inch Wide First Aid Tape, 10-Yard Roll (2 Rolls) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OFM6JE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kP5qDb5T4J13F

My method is basically start at the bottom while supporting the breast with one hand and lay the piece of tape in a diagonal direction from close to where the gore would lay upwards towards my shoulder. I rip a bunch of pieces before starting and continue to lay them until I have good support and shape

Hi! It looks like you're using Scotch Tape to hold together your wounds.

While scotch tape/normal sticky tape may work to hold your wounds together, they are by no means medical grade or sterile, which means that using them may increase your chance of an infection and basically make your situation worse rather than better.

While pulling the edges of your cuts together may help promote faster healing and less scarring, it's best to do it with steri-strips, that are designed to be sterile and as a bonus won't leave sticky tape residue on the inside of your wound.

Your posting history says you're in Canada so I've linked you a few places you can get them.

Get baby shampoo or TheraTears lid scrub to help him clean his eyes. All those drops can build up a lot of goop. His eyes will be dry a lot so a lot of eyedrops (Thera tears is what I use) will help. Also for allergies in the eye to help with itching Zaditor was a life saver.

If I were in your position, I'd go ahead and start wearing silicone tape in hopes that it slows down the growth, and begin researching steroid injections, microdermabrasion, medical needling, laser scar removal, and my surgeon's options for surgical removal.

Silicone tape (like CicaTape, which is what I'm using) primarily acts to prevent/minimize the development of hypertrophic scars, and perhaps keloids to some extent. If you look up info about silicone tape's effectiveness, you'll find studies like this one, which could be worth a read. It suggests wearing silicone tape for at least 12 hours a day for up to six months, but other sources, like this one, suggest up to 24 hours a day for up to three months. I've been wearing it 24/7 except to shower; I'm prone to hypertrophic scarring, and so far my DI scars have stayed super flat. (That said, I started wearing tape as soon as my scabs came off at about three weeks post-op, so my experience with the tape isn't going to be identical to yours.)

If you do pick up CicaTape, you can cut the tape in half lengthwise to make the roll last longer. I've been using the tape for about six weeks, and haven't finished my first roll yet.

u/specialk45 · 1 pointr/BellsPalsy

I guess it's good to try (the tape you link to) and post any helpful information. My worry with that tape is it wouldn't provide enough stick. Maybe something like this? The trick is to find something that sticks to skin, though comes off after 8-10 hours residue free.

My doc told me the goal of closing the eyelid is so that when the eye moves around it rubs on the inside of the eye thereby moistening it. I don't think the eye patch would do that necessarily.

Post any helpful tips you find out. Thanks for your comments.

For patches of any kind, Tegaderm works well. You might find it cheaper in-store.

Cut the Tegaderm strip at least 1-2 inches larger than the estrogen patch, placing it over the patch you will adhere the free Tegaderm borders to your skin. Good Luck!

u/DianeMadeMe · 1 pointr/running

I've seen a couple of suggestions for duct tape which is effective but a little harsh. You got the blister because of the friction between your sock and your foot. You have to eliminate the friction so the sock rubs something other than your toe.

Right now I'd recommend silk medical tape. It is very sticky, holds its adhesion well, and won't rip the hell out of the edges of your blister when you take it off like duct tape will.

DON'T use Neosporin under it when you run. The tape adhering to skin will cause your sock to rub the tape and not your toe. If you have a lubricant between you and the tape, it defeats the purpose. Same thing with a band-aid. The gauze part of the band-aid will just rub and make it worse. Otherwise ammoscanner's advice is great.

PS- I do the same thing with plastic tape to prevent blisters in heels.

Medial Tape -- specifically that brand. It's super strength, will never fall off. I've had bandaids and shit fall off cause of sweat, but this tape will stay on.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/classicalguitar

I have exactly the same problem. shrediknight has it right as far as nail care goes, and add some vitamin E in the mix (orally or topically); however, the improvement is subtle and takes time. If you use a plectrum, you can try using tape around your fingertips when you play steel and a little gorilla snot to keep from slipping. If you want, you can use a drop of vaseline on the nail surface to keep the adhesive from sticking when you peel it off. It's a bit of a hassle, but better than shredding your nails. I tried using traditional fingerpicks for finger-style folk, but just can't get the right feel.

Cloth tape that is water proof is the best kind of tape you should use.

Otherwise if you don't want to use tape you can get a paper towel, tear it into strips, and wet it for use as a grommet. It only gets 1-2 uses per strip but its good if you are just waiting for a grommet to get there.

I used to get blisters under the arch on my one foot. Here are some things that really made a difference for me:

  • I started using these Engo patches and haven't had any more blisters in the arch area.
  • Waterproof moleskin tape mentioned in another comment have made my toes so much happier. Combine that with the Injini socks and I've been able to do longer, blister-free runs.

    I also used to have a pair of Newtons with a really wide toe box and noticed I was getting more blisters with them. Switched to a shoe that was a bit narrower and that seemed to make a difference too. So as others have said, make sure the shoes fit and are laced well.

u/Utishanitri · 2 pointsr/selfharm

It's a bit unfortunate that it opened back up when you bent your leg. Cuts like that are a real pain...

To be honest you'd probably be alright with just leaving it to heal on its own. You'd have to keep an eye out for infection though, and it might take a few weeks to properly heal over.

The only other non-hospital option would be if you could get some steri-strips (or butterfly closures, or medical tape (this or this sort of thing)) to pull the edges of the wound together. If you can use those then it would heal quicker and would be less likely to get infected, but you can only really use them effectively within 6-12 hours so it might not be practical to get them in time.

Owww KT tape on your junk would hurt so bad. KT tape is great for muscle pulls, but it's got a bit more "tug" than you need/want for tucking. IMO it also doesn't have enough stiffness / structure to it, so things tend to bulge out - it's designed more for pulling sections of skin together; not holding things in place underneath.

I stick with the regular cloth sports tape and a cloth gaff (I just use TP as a gaff if I'm not planning to get wet; that way if the tuck starts to annoy me I just throw the whole thing in the trash). Really helps if you keep everything totally shaved down below.

For clarification (these are just examples; I'm sure you can find cheaper ones):

Get this tape made by 3M.

You can get it cheaper at your local chain pharmacy or Walmart. Make sure the word "Micropore" is printed (along with 3M, etc) inside the role.

The Johnson & Johnson sports tape is what I hear recommended most often.

Try putting surgical tape over the bite (Add some hydrocortisone if you are really sensitive).

You get all the benefits of not scratching without having to exercise any of the will power.

I used to get mosquito bites that would drive me so crazy I couldn't sleep, now I just forget about them.

I like that you can cut it to size! There’s other options out there too, they also sell patches etc.

That would work well but he was using this style of tape

Here you go - have as many stripes as you like :P

Don't worry about the stripes - particularly the first one or two. Every gym has their own system, and will dole them out at their own pace. Ultimately, the stripes (or even belt colour) won't matter at all - just focus on learning.

You need to experiment, but you should buy https://www.amazon.com/3M-Micropore-Paper-Tape-White/dp/B003TXPZ64 to prevent blisters from vacuum.

u/HeloisePommefume · 2 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Same problem. I always used bandaids, even though they never really stayed well or provided much protection. But it was better than nothing, and I hate tennis shoes. Then one day I ran out and in desperation used medical tape like this. After you put it on you have to give it a minute to adhere before you put your shoes on, but it works wonders and I buy it in bulk now.

u/ben174 · 1 pointr/Coachella

Grab some 3M Medical Tape to wrap up any blisters. Worked me wonders at Burning Man.

A 4”x11 yard roll of Tagaderm costs less than $30 and lasts forEVER.

Also with what could be considered tape.

Is the medical tape you talk about micropore tape? https://www.amazon.com/3M-Micropore-Paper-Tape-White/dp/B003TXPZ64?th=1

u/eggsandjakey · 2 pointsr/ftm

I’ve been using cica tape cut in half horizontally. It works well for me after a few washings and would probably work longer if I wasn’t so particular about it.

I used 3m Micropore medical paper tape but I think the professional ones are made from Tyvek

> I've bought those little dot bandaids

First aid tape is an inexpensive alternative.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_KALE · 21 pointsr/running

Just get some 3M Transpore Tape. Several of the commercial nipple protection products out there are just bits of that tape. I've used it for years. As long as you apply it when your skin is dry it's not going anywhere and provides the needed barrier.

u/NEET_Here · 3 pointsr/Fitness

Get surgical tape and tape it on, problem solved. I used to run long distance and had this problem because of cotton t shirts+ sweat.

You can also get it at a local pharmacy

Amazon link to tape

I was ready to return my Airpods as they wouldn't fit properly. I tried putting little circle cut outs of this tape on like I saw on a post here. Still not great. But doing it this way solved my problem. I can now run without them moving around or falling out.

Please don't try and do medical operations that you have no training on and might possibly kill someone.

I know your talking about a dog, but for people it's not a emergent medical procedure, but a healing and cosmetic one.

Refer to what everyone else said.

u/Captain_Kittenface · 2 pointsr/running

They were never a problem for me until I ran my first half. The shower after was extremely painful! Now I just throw on some of this transpore tape for anything that might go over 10. You can get it at any drug store for a few bucks and at an inch or two per nipple it lasts forever. As long as I remember to throw on the tape I have no issues whatsoever.

u/JortsShorts · 1 pointr/shroomers

Oh shit oh shit oh shit. I think I may have used the wrong tape. This is what I used:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UPBJBO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought this one first:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TXPZ64/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
But then I became concerned that it wouldn't let enough light in. I think that was my concern. Kind of dumb in retrospect. I'm taking much better notes this time.

u/cain8708 · 12 pointsr/CCW

So a lot of people have asked for a copy of a medical E bag of mine, so instead of sending to each person ill just put it on here. Now im on mobile so the format is gonna suck. First thing is first, this list is for non medical people. This Is NOT for gunshot wound, amputation kind of injuries. It is a 24 hour on the run bag. Meaning lacerations, sprains, things like that. If you have a gunshot wound, you are done running, i dont give a fuck what Hollywood says. With this in mind, first thing we want is SAM splints. http://www.liveactionsafety.com/sam-splint/?gclid=COrajbn0oc8CFYETgQodPpcPkw I am NOT endorsing any link provided, just the first one on Google. Youll want 2. Depending on the bag you are using, you can shape them to create the frame on the interior of your bag. Id post pics of my aid bag, but i dont know how on mobile. Youtube any SAM splint video, youll see how to make arm splints, neck braces, leg, knee, hand, finger, any damn brace you want. Why 2, cause you never travel alone and someone might need one thats why. Now on to the next key item. Compact gauze. http://www.chinookmed.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=05005&source=froogle&gclid=CI3oxtr1oc8CFdgQgQodTCAIRA Again, i am NOT endorsing anyone. Why compressed you ask? Takes up less fucking room. Youll want at least 3. If you are in the worst shit river without a paddle and take a round to a leg, your leg can hold 3 of these puppies with no problem. Youll have a problem from the amount of pain, but as the famous medic saying goes: pain is the patient's problem. You can use them to clean up dirt, lacerations, tie up combative people until police arrive, or get kinky with your wife, i wont judge. Next, medical tape. www.amazon.com/Durapore-Medical-Tape-Silk-yards/dp/B000C4O7GC Its amazon so dont have to worry about someone thinking im endorsing them. Medical tape is great for just about everything. Its sold in various diameters, i advise the 2 inch. But before you stick the several rolls, dont you get just one because that shit runs out quick, into your bag, open that shit up and dog ear that fucker. Wanna know what they never talk about when shit hits the fan? Your god damn motor skills telling you to go fuck yourself. You wont have 5 fingers if you need this bag right now. You have a thumb and a fucking flipper. So dog ear it, so if you do have a laceration, you can put gauze on it, hold down the pressure it needs, and not play fuck fuck games with the tape. Speaking of blood, gloves mother fuckers! God damn gloves! Oh its just you and your family? Cool, i guess you never plan on having to run with another family, like what this post could lead to. Safety in numbers, i see a man with an E bag running away from the same thing i am, bet your ass ill join his group. And bet your ass ill wear gloves if they are injured. No im not providing a link to latex free gloves, im not reaching that low for the joke. Next on this list coban. http://www.vitalitymedical.com/coban-self-adherent-wrap.html?gclid=CISc28P4oc8CFU48gQodyuoNJw Now say it with me yall, I am NOT endorsing any link provided by the way. Now you may be wondering, i said tape already, why coban? Because coban provides an extra level of pressure, say for a deep laceration, and also only sticks to itself. Nurses and Doctors also say it gets tighter over time, but ill just call that a rumor. Now lets talk tourniquets. If you actually know how to use it, add 2. If you dont, fucking learn. If you ever pull those out, you are done running. I dont care who you are, if you put it on correctly, there is no blood flow to that limb. You would have lost significant amount of blood already, and need OR now. You can have one on for about 6-8 hours before the limb is fucked, so dont think putting it on means youre a new amputee. But dont put it on lightly either. You will have to stay in that spot until help arrives with what you have on you. So if you dont know how to put it on, leave it the fuck out. To prevent people from pulling a ND and saying i did it, im not providing a link for this one. Other things you want: 3 days worth of everyone's meds in separate bottles. Last thing you want is to give little Billy your heart meds on accident because they both look blue. Trauma sheers. Do i really need a link for that one? You never know when you need to cut seat belts, clothes, or other shit. Also good to have if doing rope play in the bedroom. https://www.amazon.com/Military-Cravat-Triangular-Bandage-6510-00-201-1755/dp/B00HBG726G Now this triangle looking guy, you want like 4 or 5 of. You have a busted arm, use the same splint to stabilize, and 2 of these to tie the arm around the body and one like a sling. That should cover most of everything that you can do without needing advanced classes. If you see bone sticking out, you are done running, same with lower body dislocations. You can still move with one broken arm, if you can carry and fire with the other. I hope yall enjoyed the jokes i put in, granted they werent that good. God damn this is a wall of text, and it took forever to do on a fucking cell phone. Enjoy. Any questions, comments, concerns, hit me up.
