I ordered these to place in my purse and work bag to eliminate the need to have an empty water or pop bottle with me all the time. They hardly take up any room. I love them. Was at a surgery center last week for my brother's surgery. Both my mom and I are diabetic and insulin dependent. Took our shots and quickly disposed of the needles with no mess or fuss. Thank you for making these. I plan to take them with me when I travel on my cruises as well.
