Styptic Pens

[Timmay]

The front of the package says NO STING!  BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought a styptic pen just cause I have never bought one before.  Well guess what....I had to use it this morning.  THAT sh*t BURNS!  I wet the tip and prepared myself for it NOT TO BURN..I thought I was going to crap my pants.  But ...it worked....the bleeding stopped immediately. I am impressed....so I dunno...does anyone else use styptic pens?

I use a styptic pen once in a while and yes they do sting.

I use them too from time to time. I'll have to look at the package, but I don't recall mine having a no burn disclaimer. That being said, it does sting a little bit when I use it. Its not too bad though. The sting is a small price to pay because they stop the bleeding pronto.

timmy....funny that u mentioned about the styptic pen.  anyways..... i just went 2 my "shaving cabinet" & took out my unused styptic pencil (clubman pinaud) & i read the package.  it states:  "stops bleeding fast, sting free".  fortunately....i haven't had 2 use the styptic pencil (knock on wood).  i have it as "insurance" just in case.

I just bought a new one the other day.  They do sting  but are worth it when it comes to stopping the bleeding.

Just bought one last week.  It's still in the package, since I haven't nicked myself since buying it.  Thanks for the info.  At least now I'll be prepared.  I'll still use it.  But I'll brace myself for the sting.

I haven't needed one yet, thankfully, but I will pick one up to be prepared, in case I do get a bad nick on the noggin.

I do get them every now and then on the neck area, however.

The one I have is the same one Warhawk has it does say sting free but it does sting a little but not to the extent that your saying, buck up and take it(j/k) or quit nicking the dome.

Just throwing this out there, but could it be that your head is more sensitive than your face?

I use cayenne pepper powder on all my cuts, and styptic pens hurt more in my opinion.

Does the styptic pen work better than liquid band aid?

[D.A.L.U.I.]

I've got a very small bottle of liquid stiptic "pencil" that I've had for more years than I can count.  It stings, but on face cuts it works great, and I used it successfully when I have had one or two dings on the old dome since going sly in October 07.  I've got half a bottle left, and not many dings to work w/.  I hope they keep making it, the old white sticks corrode in the humid climate here and when you need it, it's just a pile of goop.  Past experience on my face says "Don't blot after applying w/ a t-shirt!"  It leaves a LASTING stain, although before mixing w/ blood it's clear.

I don't know if they work better.  But, you don't have the residue left behind that liquid band aid leaves.

ALL in ALL the SOB's sting...no matter what LOL  but they are good.

bought two as insurance, but ironically the cuts stopped as soon as I realized what was coming if I sliced myself 

hope to never use em!
