Injection Comfort Aid (ShotBlocker-style)

A flat plastic horseshoe with blunt nubs you press onto the skin — the nubs keep the nerves busy so the needle barely registers.

• Reusable
• Drug-free

Why you’d want it: Drug-free, reusable, and weirdly effective. Beloved by needle-haters everywhere.

Picking tip: One lasts indefinitely and the effect is very individual, so try a single unit before buying more. Outside the US they're often only sold in packs of four, which is still cheap. Wash it between uses.
