Here is an excellent video of how to use an epi pen. A must watch for both patients and friends/family of patients!

Any good videos on how a guy can carry around an epi-pen? Doesn't really fit in my wallet! ;D

I've seen a carrier that you can strap to your leg:

My son is starting preschool this fall and he's allergic to peanuts... I've been thinking of getting him something like this.

Don't know what your "career field is" but the nicer "tactical pants" would work with the larger pocket on the sides. There are dressier brands, I'm more familiar with the law enforcement 5.11 and such but I've gotten my husband nice looking ones in JC Penny, Macys, Ross, etc. Just make sure the side pocket lays down nice! Some crappy brands dry and are all folded up crazy and then you have to ...... Iron! Yuck! Check out Cabelas, Eddie Bauer, hmmm there are more brands......LL Bean

Starflower, those are nice, but does it come in leather? That's more my style! 8-)

Sandi, I'm in a shirt and tie type job, so I have to wear business pants. That's a great idea for casual wear, though. It would be a lot easier than carrying it around in my jeans. Thanks for the tip!
