Hi Amethyst,

My aerochamber goes everywhere with me. It's been shopping, clubbing, kayaking and climbing! These days I only use it for my flixotide/serevent/atrovent and my ventolin when I'm really struggling, but when I was new to asthma and getting used to things I used it with my ventolin a lot. I find it fits most bags tho I do get frustrated when my friends decide they wont take a bag on a night out and instead will decant everything into mine!

yes mine goes , landroving, camping, shopping, it likes train jounerys, the nice thing is it fits in a hand bag and does not take upto much room,

well i have 2 1 for home and my sertide and 1 for out with my ventolin

i try not to leave home with out it and or do my friends like me leaving home with out it,

it give you a little bit of peace of mind, so pop it in a bag and go shopping or any thing eles you do

hope this help

big hugs

I take mine out with me too, shopping, school, ice skating etc etc. It just makes it a bit easier should I have an attack and they're fairly easy to shove in a bag and not really notice unless needed.

I have two - i use the volumatic in the house then have an aerochamber in whatever handbag i'm using and i keep another in my desk at work so others can get it for me in ""Emergency"", I considered carrying it in my pocket but its slightly too big for that.
