Hiya. I’ve done both NHS and private and I had a lot more choice with the private clinic and obviously the time frame is a lot shorter also. If you have the budget I would go recommend private x

Hiya. Yes that’s true. It will however take away the pain from the needle going into the skin

Yeah it should. Just make sure you put a good amount on and leave it for one and a half hours

@@reallifemumproblems5640 Thank you for your feedback! One last thing. Is it really necessary to wrap your skin with plastic wrap after you apply it?

Hiya. I use EMLA in the uk. Hope this helps

Aw thank you 😄 That was our first time and it took my breath away when we first arrived.

Hiya. Oh gosh I'm sorry you've felt it before and there's nothing worse than putting off blood tests because of the phobia. If you put a really good amount on, more than you think you need for about 2 hours you shouldn't feel a thing and ask for a small butterfly needle, It's very thin and pretty much painless when it comes to taking blood. What country are you in? Is Emla readily available?

@@reallifemumproblems5640 only over the border from you! In England

@@WeHateAdverts aw that's handy 😁 Yeah just ask the nurse to use a butterfly needle and slather on the cream. Let me know how you get on.

Did it work?

Hey, yes you can xx

Yeah, just as they are getting the needle ready remove the dressing and cream

Hey Varsha, thank you so much. Yes I have used it many times for cannula as it makes me feel sick when I get a cannula put in. Yes Dr has never said anything about me putting the cream on. Let me know how it goes x

Hey, it depends where you are waxing. I wouldn't put it on a large surface area such as your legs or arms as I think it would be rather toxic but I have previously put it on my brows before microblading and it can be used for top lip and perhaps bikini line. I'm sure there is spray ls available that take the sting out of waxing.

It's called EMLA cream in the UK and you can buy it from the pharmacy or online.

@@reallifemumproblems5640 thanks for the response. Do you know if Emla is better than the products sold in the states (lidocaine 5%)?

@@ThànhTrần-333 from what I've read it's the same strength

@@reallifemumproblems5640 yeah they are both 5% but Emla cream has Lidocaine and Prilocaine. Wonder if it works better with the addition of Prilocaine.

Hey, yes I have used it for cannula, for operations and for when I was having my 2 kids. I also used it for all my IVF injections and for getting bloods taken. I also plan on some cosmetic surgery in the future and will be taking a tube in to the hospital for the cannula that will go into the back of my hand. Best of luck x

Hey, yeah I would use it for chemo IV, just double check with your nurse. The hospital stock the cream so they use it in the hospitals anyways. It's not nice when they poke about for a vein. Let me know how you get on with it x

Yeah I've used it for IV drip

@@reallifemumproblems5640 thank you for the reply mam ♥️ from India

Can I use it for iv drip?

I was coming to find a comment like this! I’m terrified of blood draws. So I hope this works!

@@MrsTip2udid it work plz let me know

@@goat4r when I do, I’ll def let you know

@@MrsTip2u when’s your appointment

You certainly can. That's what I use it most for.

@@reallifemumproblems5640 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hey, I'm not so sure where to find it in the US. have a chat to your local pharmacist, they will guid you in the right direction. the main active ingredient in EMLA in lidocaine, so perhaps mentions that to them. it won't be hard to find. best of luck.

Hi. I have used this cream for years for and I've had my fare share of different sized needles and I can honestly say I don't feel a thing. I have used it for getting canula put into my hand and that's a pretty big needle and I've not felt anything. Make sure you put it on for a Goos 2 hours before hand and take off the dressing just as the Dr is prepping the needle.

Yeah it just numbs the area the cream is on

hey, sorry for the late reply, I've been using it for years and never felt any pain with needles

I'm the exact same as you. Any sort of needle and I get into a flap. I have used it with thicker needles and I dont feel it. I also use it for getting drips into my hand. Pop a good sized amount on the area 2 hours before whatever you are getting done, put a good waterproof dressing on top and remove it right before the procedure. You can pick it up from most chemist's in the UK and grab a roll of waterproof dressing from amazon and your sorted. X

same problem with me... u said absolutely right

​@@reallifemumproblems5640

We are the same. Ive been crying for days.

It still does hurts a bit though, right?

@@Majestal1 Im tok scared to get mine even though I have the cream

I didn’t feel any pain

Put a lot of cream and leave it for 2 hours I promise you feel nothing :)

Hi cathetine. I used it for mine and I a few people on here have too. Pop a good amount on the area about a good 2 hours before your vaccination, cover it with waterproof dressing and remove it just before the needle goes in. You won't feel a thing x

Have you tried this? I agree. I cannot sleep or do anything.

Hiya. Yip, pop it on about 2 hours before hand and try not to get any in your mouth x

hi, sorry for the late reply. EMLA is the brand, the 2 active substances in the cream are lidocaine and prilocaine.

If your in the UK it's a brand called EMLA cream. You can pick up at most pharmacy's. Remeber and ask for a pack with a dressing in it unless you have your own dressing. I would give it a go for a nipple piercing. Put it on a good 11/2 to 2 hours before hand and take it off just before. Best of luck

@@reallifemumproblems5640 thank u. I will give an update if that’s ok. I go to get mine pierced on the 18th

@@thesecretlifeofb4317 the healing process of. Nipple piercing is painless it only hurts when the needle goes through after that no pain at all

@@thesecretlifeofb4317 hi did you get your perceing ? How was the pain ? Did you apply emla cream ?

Hey did you feel the needle pierce through your skin and liquid being injected?

I read several people saying you do feel mild pain when the needle goes deeper in your skin though...

@@Majestal1 Have you had your covid vaccine?

@@mitsuhamiyamizu101 no...

@@Majestal1 when are u planning to get it? i want the vaccine but bruh the needle is just a no no

Yeah the Dr will clean the area with the alcohol swab but don't worry it doesn't take the numbness away, bt that point the cream has worked so don't worry about the cleaning of it. It stays numb for a wee while

@@reallifemumproblems5640 thank u

@@reallifemumproblems5640 yes! i just recently did a blood test and i didnt feel a thing! plus i didnt get sick like i usually do after a blood draw. so this cream is amazing.

If You Put It On For around 2 hours prior you won't feel anything. I've Only Ever Used It For Blood Draws And Injections So I Can't Say What It Would Be Like For Anything else but if you put it on for a decent length of time before hand you shouldn't feel anything

@@reallifemumproblems5640 tq for the info will get back after I take my shot

@@vinny5015 how was it?

@@shayeshaye7603 you won’t feel the pain when it first enters your skin but after that you can fell it when it’a deeper. But overall it’s way better with the cream if you have phobia of needles or pain

@@vinny5015 does it still hurt when it goes deeper?

Thank you for your feedback. It makes my day 😁 I'm really glad it worked. It takes the anxiety out of injections and so on. Please share the video for anyone who hates needles as much as we do.

@@reallifemumproblems5640 can pregnant women use this before iv insertion for elective c section?

@@KishoreKumar-qi7sv hiya. I've just had a baby and I took a tube to the hospital and used it for blood draws, injections and for the canula in my hand. Put a good amount on a few hours before your due in for the section and cover it with a waterproof dressing. Best of luck x

@@reallifemumproblems5640 you have used this when you are pregnant?

@@KishoreKumar-qi7sv yes, I used it all through my pregnancy. They do stock it in the hospital too so ask for it if you don't have any. It's safe to use in pregnancy
