    cotton ball + rubbing alcohol or the packeted swabs

    will soaking a cottonball full of rubbing alcohol do the samething as the packeted wipes? or will the cottonball be to contaminated or something. im assuming that it will be about the same but i just want to make sure

    either thing works man, both are alcohol, just make sure you dont use too much alcohol on the cotton ball, and leave it near the site of injections cause you will do what i did, when i pulled the needle out the blood got with the alcohol and started going eveywhere lol... it freaked me out bad

    The wipes are cheap. You can order them online. Cotton balls and alcohol would work, but I'd MUCH rather use the wipes.

    i've always used a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol and all is good here. either one will be perfectly fine, but i believe cotton balls and a bottle of rubbing alcohol would be far cheaper than the swabs. so economically, it's your best bet.
