tres bon produit

My son has EoE and receives an injection every two weeks. As a parent, anything that can help make that experience a little easier is worth trying. We were pleasantly surprised by how well the ShotBlocker worked. It helps distract from the discomfort of the injection and has made shot days much less stressful for him. It's simple to use, easy to clean, and small enough to store with his medication supplies. While it doesn't make the shot completely painless, it definitely helps reduce the anxiety and discomfort. If you or your child have regular injections, I highly recommend giving this a try.

They definitely seem to work when we "tested" them at home with the controlled experiment my kids designed with a swift jab from the kids' toy doctor kit plastic syringe once with and once without the shot blocker. I nixed their next hypothesis that it would also help if they tried to jab me with a mechanical pencil, for science. So I stayed content knowing that the sensation of a plastic toy needle is different with the blocker than when it's not pressed on your skin. My kids have since used them for their flu shots and the first dose of their covid vaccines they still cried for the flu shot, but I didn't have to hold them still, and then they immediately agreed that it did actually help. They really liked that that were doing something to mitigate the pain instead of just being held down against their will. For the covid shots 4 weeks later, they were excited to bring them again and even took the responsibility of making sure they were packed in my persevere. Mine were the only 2 kids out of 7 at the clinic that didn't cry, BUT they did balk and go rigid & try to get away from the chair for a moment when the pharmacist first said his boss doesn't like him to use them because they can make blood shoot across the room when the needle is injected (? Plausible, I guess?), but when I pulled out just a little momma bear and assured him that our pediatrician OK'd them and that they'd successfully used them for shots at the pediatrician's without any spurting of blood he relented and let me hold them on the kids' arms. They took the shots like champs and didn't whimper, tear up, or anything. Even reported the next morning that peeling off the bandaids from their arms hurt more than actually getting the shot. TL;DR: they do have some effect on the sensations around the shot blocker, but it's unclear whether the actual pain reduction or the feeling of some control over the situation is what makes my kids like them. Either way, 10/10 recommend for kids who are strong willed and shot-averse.

I use this for my injections daily and it helps alot. I make sure this was pushed against my skin so I feel it more than the actual injection. I can't do injections without this

Used with my 4-year old for her latest vaccine. We had no tears at all, which was amazing (prior vaccine left her crying for probably 10 minutes). That said, it seemed almost like the use of this confused her, and by the time she processed the thing had still hurt it was like almost too late for tears. She did very disappointedly inform me afterwords that it still hurt. My worry about that though is that now that we've used it once, it wont work the same on a 2nd use, you know? I suppose I will update once we've used it again, if it works a 2nd time or not. But at the very least, any trip for a vaccination to be tear-less is amazing!
