GTN Spray

Has anyone found a simple way of carrying your GTN spray around without it bulking up your pocket.... Mine is around the size of a pack of polo's and is a pain in my trouser pocket (male and No I don't want a man bag 🙂)I looked for some sort of lanyard thing to hang around my neck underneath my clothes but couldn't see anything.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I found a key ring pouch on eBay a few years ago, I’ve also seen ones that clip on your belt. it’s worth having a look on the internet.

Hi Mydog8it

I find myself in a very similar dilemma when I go on holiday. I don’t know whether you’ve considered a keyring purse type of thing? You should be able to attach it to a lanyard. I’ve found some options that you may want to look at on eBay however, they are not very aesthetically pleasing, but if you don’t mind that, then it might help.

Hope you can find something suitable soon.

All the best.

just googled epipen pouch - that might work as looks longer - seeing as your spray is like a pack of polos!

there are pen pouches too that clip on a lanyard!

And one more - a pepper spray holder!

👍

Thank you everyone for the suggestions... I'll look into the epipen holder, I never thought of that.

That's the sort of thing I am on about.... homemade or bought?

I found it no more bulky rhan my mobile (cell) phone, a bunch of keys, a packet of tissues, my wallet (or bill fold if you prefer) etc. Solution........ I stick my GTN spray either in a shirt or jacket pocket. Simple, stylish and no further bulking.......

I've got to agree, I've carried one around for over 10 years with no issue, far smaller than a bunch of keys or the mobile phone.

Nothing wrong with a man bag when you're not wearing a jacket in the summer months.

Each to his own...... I find keys, phone and dog poo bags fill my Jean pockets....

on the light hearted side - your dog could carry a spare, like a St Benard with a little barrel of spirits!😉

I use a penknife pouch that loops through my belt. When I am heading out the door it's an easy pat down (wallet, phone, spray, etc.) to check. I did try out in the store that the pouch wasn't too humungous but was a snug but accessible fit to the spray.

Mine's a nice brown leather with a popper, but I started out with one made of webbing with a velcro fastener.

It's a bit like the pic....

Thanks for all the replies, at least I know a dedicated GTN holder doesn't exist

I'll have to start searching eppipen or penknife holders.

I've carried the blooming thing(s) round for 4 years and am lucky enough that I've never had to use it, despite now being on the waiting list for CABG (5)

I have a GTN spray and an Asthma inhaler in my trouser pocket all the time in with coins and hankie and mobile phone in the other pocket, you get used to it and apart from maybe cinching up my belt one more notch to keep my trousers up I hardly notice either. The only shortcoming is that the coins erase the use by date on the GTN!
