Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I would add several more of these
This is why I posted, for advice like this 👍
It's late here now and I ain't about to repack it tonight, but I probably should see about fitting a couple or few more in there..
Ysk alcohol is a worse first aid antiseptic than chlorhexidine or iodine. Causes tissue necrosis.
For small cuts it's fine, worst case you get a small scar where you wouldn't have otherwise. The reason you want the pads over stuff like betadine is cost, application, and shelf life. Mostly cost.
You aren't trying to clean the wound itself as much with antiseptic, it's more cleaning the surrounding skin under the bandage so you don't get a colony of bacteria causing staph. It's a numbers game, your body can handle some bacteria, so you get the number down to a manageable amount with a swab and bandage it to keep it clean while the body handles the rest.
You should be cleaning the wound itself with just water, any antiseptic will cause funky healing when applied directly to broken skin.
For any wound you're just using a small wipe for, it won't make much of a difference
Yes, I'd love some chlorhexidine gluconate flat pack wipes! Iodine or betadine wipes too, are those available in a flat-pack wipe form?
I added 2 more, pretty easy fit 👍
