I picked up a storage box on discount so I could sort my materials neatly inside. The lower section holds clean unused containers along with needles that lock in place and some filtering devices. Adding a security mechanism to the container and placing it out of reach from the children is what I did. This gives me added protection against any interference by them.

Nice but, way too small.

WryHarbour76archiveMar 29

At first I stored all my supplies inside that ornate envelope. Later everything moved over to the tiny compartment inside my desk that has a rolling top. After that I got three separate hundred-count sets of needles sized at one milliliter, half, and point three. Along with those came a holder for my purchase records, the flattened boxes from the vials, the rubber seals, and hundreds of the cleaning pads included in shipments. That means my desk's big lower section is now stuffed completely after just four months of treatment. I really dislike all the trash generated by those sealed individual cleaners plus the other wrapping materials. So now I switched to alternative pads that create far less garbage.

Awesome! This matches what I was going for.

There's a storage unit out back in the garage that looks a lot like yours. I'll try to snap a photo of it tomorrow if it comes to mind. In the kitchen pantry sits an old cardboard container holding roughly twenty point zero five and one milliliter syringes along with a few three milliliter ones that have twenty five gauge needles for mixing plus some swabs for injection days. Seventy two of the small bottles sit in the garage freezer inside boxes. Normally two of them are in use inside the kitchen fridge and sometimes an extra pair when the active ones run short all kept inside a printed holder. Are the yellow items filters? Which maker are they from if you can say.

Appreciate the note. My setup keeps evolving bit by bit. Every time fresh pieces come in I shift things around and end up wanting extra clear trays.

PatientTimber33archiveMar 29

This really leaves me floored! Figured those twenty containers tucked away in the cold already made me look bold and untamed, but clearly I still need to swallow a heap of humble pie before matching that kind of status!

BlueSignal49archiveMar 29

I use a shoebox to hold supplies needed for mixing including pen needles along with insulin syringes and similar items. My peptides stay in the fridge.

PlainAlder11archiveMar 29

Appreciated. I'm trying to skip out on extra time wasters. Filters?

I think that's right, but I haven't been doing this long.

Yeah, I'm with you on that, this is one more distraction I could have done without 🤷🏻‍♂️. Turns out those small trays contain the filters in 13mm and also 4mm sizes. On top of that, there's this labeling tool I had completely overlooked until now.

QuietPebble47archiveMar 29

Out of the three boxes I own these are two examples. There's one designed to sit on a table and another that rests on the floor. The last one meant for storage in a closet turns out to be quite a bit larger yet follows the same basic design.

PlainAlder11archiveMar 29

The liquor container sparked thoughts about putting those little squeeze bottles from last year to use. I should probably create a tag for it.

LevelTimber64archiveMar 29

Curious about how you obtained your drawer sets.

PlainAlder11archiveMar 29

This particular piece came from the single cabinet I have in the garage.

LevelTimber64archiveMar 29

Curious what others say about the needles inside that blue and green container. I get nervous whenever I think about trying different ones from my usual pick. These days I'm eyeing the thirty one gauge six millimeter option.

GreenAlder74archiveMar 30

Top achievement unlocked! Sure the physical and mental upsides from shedding pounds feel solid yet honestly the equipment itself brings the real thrill. As another hobbyist into this scene your whole arrangement gives me ideas and it looks solid.

WarmMeadow13archiveMar 30

It's great to see the tools being applied to a logical project. Even though it's not very practical, this concept seems excellent. Now I'm thinking about getting a pair myself 😂😂

WarmMeadow92archiveMar 30

Ross! Much less expensive than the other stores.

Ha yeah I get what you're saying that compact kit doesn't fix real issues but instead hunts around for things to tackle yet they're enjoyable so I bought one in the dark grey version when it launched still zero complaints from me.

LevelTimber64archiveMar 30

I considered ordering it but the lack of depth made me wonder about capacity. Not sure.

WarmMeadow13archiveMar 30
↳ replying to @IronCinder64

Thought about getting one earlier but skipped it since it wasn't necessary at all. Now your post has made me want one anyway 😂😂

Blue/Green are needles only for reconstituting. Larger gauge luerlock/slip.

BlueAlder28archiveMar 30

I stash a low-profile plastic container deep inside the refrigerator meant for wine. On the highest shelf within a cabinet underneath the bar counter sits a tackle box that's fairly hidden from view. That same bar counter functions as the spot where I do my lab work.

It's tough dealing with so much garbage overall. There are tons of syringes and small glass containers. I remind myself that on a larger scale my own impact isn't really noticeable because of all the medical facilities and wellness centers out there. Still I would prefer if there was reduced disposable waste.

Only if you count as a horse, which I couldn't verify anyway. Got hold of some and the puncture it left in the container seemed enormous, not to mention the effect on flesh. It does handle the thicker liquids well though.

LevelTimber64archiveMar 30

Got hold of a few containers during the weekend.

CopperLedger65archiveMar 30

My stuff rests on shelving inside the closet you walk into, still inside the boxes they arrived in but sliced apart so grabbing them happens fast during daily use 🙂

PlainAlder11archiveMar 30
↳ replying to @BrightMeadow15

I pass on that option since my spouse gets uneasy seeing those thin short needles. Buddies doing hormone therapy stick with them. I also keep some thicker ones around. My kid mentioned the oversized ones used by paramedics on calls, which look like markers. I work in emergency response.

LevelCinder55archiveMar 31

Surveying the workspace around my desk shows the clutter needs attention right away. I really appreciate all the suggestions from everyone.

ClearWillow37archiveMar 31

Some spots stay neat while others turn chaotic yet the whole thing evens out nicely.

NorthThistle70archiveMar 31

Three containers like that hold my kits in the refrigerator. I found them to be quite useful. A medical supply version sounds appealing.

IronCinder64archiveMar 31
↳ replying to @NorthThistle70

This only covers the items I keep on hand for myself. When I started holding much larger quantities I switched to an insulated container filled with drying packets placed inside a freezer and ideally an even colder unit just for the peptides.

WarmMeadow13archiveApr 1

I’m going to go that route for my fridge too.

The markings across the top of the syringes are tough to read from the image. I need to obtain an emergency injector but haven't located a way to get hold of one yet.

I'd love to enjoy these more but their circular form really wastes room when packing the freezer.

IronCinder64archiveApr 1
↳ replying to @LevelTimber64

I picked up a chest style ultra low freezer that reaches minus forty and the square area on the bottom fits my needs perfectly. Those tall containers let me pack sixty four vials in one and they look sharp when full, almost like a movie lab scene with the trays inside. At that temperature they are painful to handle but once open the setup gives me real confidence that the items are stored as well as a regular person can manage.

WarmMeadow13archiveApr 1

I feel the same way about the shape but I still fall for tidy looking storage solutions every time.

ClearWillow37archiveApr 1
↳ replying to @WarmMeadow92

A few of the items I use have similar unit markings so I label both caps to avoid mix ups. For the pen I simply requested one from my doctor because of my reactions, though I understand some online services will also provide them.

WarmMeadow92archiveApr 1
↳ replying to @ClearWillow37

Thanks, your arrangement looks great especially the upright dividers holding the syringes. I plan to request a pen from my doctor or an online service just to keep one on hand.

I keep checking out compact freezers but my small bungalow leaves me no idea where one could even go.

PlainAlder11archiveApr 2
↳ replying to @LevelTimber64

I checked them out earlier but the cost just does not appeal to me personally.

LevelTimber64archiveApr 3

If you already have a full size garage fridge freezer combo there is no need for a separate unit.

SteadyMarble77archiveApr 3

Here is how my supplies are arranged right now.

GreenBeacon89archiveApr 3

Right now everything is scattered. The brown cardboard box holds bac water, behind it sit five milliliter syringes with twenty five gauge luer locks, next to that a pack of u one hundred insulin syringes, then a bag of one hundred pen cartridges plus more luer locks and around one hundred twenty filters. It is messy but it belongs to me.

PlainAlder11archiveApr 4
↳ replying to @LevelTimber64

Those syringes from that maker are the same as the BD line, they simply updated the branding. I recently ordered one hundred each of the thirty one gauge five sixteenths inch one milliliter and point zero five milliliter versions.

KeenKettle95archiveApr 5

I just tossed all of it into a clothes drawer so it stays out of sight.

PlainKettle23archiveApr 5

Only missing the clipboard on the wall. This approach works well.
