Vulnerable Question-are we doing a band-aid at every injection site these days?

Came across post. I wondered about bandaids at first.
After the first pin, I think removing the bandaid would hurt worse than the injection. lol. Just alcoholing before and after.

I don't even alcohol it, before or after. It's such a teensy intrusion in the skin, I get worse wounds or cuts working around my yard all day. Ain't dead yet.

They're only medically effective if they're Hello Kitty or Casper the Friendly Ghost bandaids. Science.

Uhh or Rainbow Brite

Much as I would like to slap a Hello Kitty bandaid across my ass every morning, no one but my husband would see it. Swab, pin, swab, and go.

I usually don't see my inj site after pinning even when I do IM w/a 1 in 25G.

I wipe w/alc pad, pin, and keep it moving. I noticed if I use an alc pad after inj sometimes it would sting so I stopped doing that.

I also avoid top of the thigh no matter the technique, gauge size, angle, etc. its leave blood behind and hurt later on. I would probably only do a band-aid if my inj site was exposed (like ur delts) and I was going out right after
