Just as a sort of aside.... it would be more convenient to have auvi-q's ..... for the size.
However, DS1, uses a belt that is like the spibelt, but has a second smaller pocket. He fits 2 epipens & 4 bendryl fast melts in the larger pocket, and in the smaller one he has a phone and student body card. Money sometimes.
He is slim, and wears the belt, with untucked shirt. Other people can't tell he is wearing something..... but he knows when he doesn't have his "kit" because, well, you feel that you are missing something as you walk out the door.
One of the take-aways from reading the stories of fatalities over the years has been that teens forget their epipens. We've been militant on having a system that makes it so there is habit ..... with a routine..... which makes it so part of going out the door, including putting on shoes and socks, also means putting on your kit. Along with having a hook for it.
I imagine that when he goes to college, if he is living away from home for that, will be to establish a spot for his kit.
I would absolutely love to have his kit not be so bulky. When he had auvi-q's before it was nice. But, without some sort of routine, or established spot, that creates that automatic memory that you are forgetting something, even auvi-q's can be forgotten or left someplace. Auvi-q's can also fall out of pockets. Or be left in them. I have no idea how well they would do going through the washer & dryer...... they might not fare as well as lego minifigures.
edited to add: I guess my point is that size isn't all that matters necessarily for us..... and.... the whole issue with pricing, well, we've talked in our house about the jerky-ness of Mylan... to then turn a blind eye to Auvi-q would not sit well just with my own beliefs. Just because the system exists as it is, doesn't mean you have to contribute to what makes it so cr@ppy. Couldn't they try to find a way to be part of the solution to it? Decide not to play the game?
