Okay, so I got this belly injection pad mainly to help my nursing students practice insulin injections, and WOW—it’s way better than I expected! The vinyl material feels surprisingly realistic, and it actually *self-heals* after needle pokes. No more wasting expensive dummies that fall apart after a week.

The detachable inner sponge is GENIUS. You can inject real liquid (we use saline for practice), squeeze it out, air-dry, and reuse. Super hygienic and cost-effective. Plus, the Velcro backing keeps it secure during training sessions—no accidental stabs through tables!

As a diabetes educator, I LOVE how this targets abdominal injections specifically. Most trainers focus on arms or thighs, but let’s be real: insulin users often inject in the belly. This model nails the right technique—angle, tenting skin, everything. My patients finally ‘get it’ without panicking about practicing on themselves first.

Small gripe? The size. Photos make it look huge, but on larger patients, it’s a bit awkward to hold while tenting skin. Still, 10/10 for realism and durability. Even survived my most needle-phobic student’s death grip!

P.S.: Family members of diabetics—this is GOLD for building confidence before helping with real injections. Worth every penny! ★★★★★
