Title: epi carrier option
Post by: becca on February 19, 2013, 01:49:34 PM
This is one I have no heard of, so I thought I would share.  They have many types of belts, not specifically for epi.  I saw it mentioned at a diabetic site I visit, for meters, and supplies.  It is called SPIbelt  You can google it as I am no longer clear on the rules for posting commercial links.  It looks like a possible useful item for some of us, but you have to look through the different offerings to suit your needs(epis, or epi and inhalers, etc...).

Regular members are always welcome to post links to products of interest to our community.  The rules haven't changed.   Businesses (and those posting self-promotional links) should follow the rules posted in the commercial section.

Thanks Rebekah.  I post at two other forums and at least one has a strict no commercial links *at all* rule.  When I jump around, I just lose track of what is okay where. 

Anyway, it looked like a worthwhile product for some folks here.

Glad you posted this becca. Several here have used it--it's a great and low profile option. DS went through a couple of them. We did find the hinge on the Epi case top rubbed a hole in it, but DS sewed reinforcement inside. But actually he just wanted to do that, lol. I also found that chopping off the finger of a $1 stretchy glove and slipping it over the end of the case worked.

I noticed that the onespot allergy belts sre really just spi belts with a different strap on them.  Onespot no loner sells them, but spi now has a logo free strap option.  We had the same problem with the wear on the pouch from the epi case...with auvi-q this no longer seems to be an issue  :thumbsup:
