Alcohol Swabs / Patches

ad

What is everybody's preference for alcohol swabs? Do most people like to stick with a good name brand just like pins such as BD? Concentration of alcohol? Size?

I like regular rubbing alcohol with 4 drops of black cherry MiO Energy flavoring concentrate.

I never thought of spraying. I've just been using the BD wipes, but this was the kind of gem of information I was looking for!

In my local dollar store you can buy them for a couple bucks. It comes as 70% spray on rubbing alcohol, but I mix in some 99% stuff, and I have never had one single infection. So basically I spray and wipe with a clean paper towel, then spray again and let it dry naturally. I also spray the tops of the vials as well. I'll throw a photo up of the spray with the order of gear that I recieved today.
