what is this liner thing? I don't have one and use the novorapid metal pens?

I think the bags are only available for the larger frios anyway.

I've used stringes and pens in my frios without the waterproof cover for 6 or more years - no problems and I've only just stopped using some of the original pens - so no long term damage either.

Frio are a really good product - almost too good, I was thinking I might need to replace mine this year, three years isn't a bad life for things, but I think I can see another couple of years out of these, should see me through.

Oh, as an aside anyone doing good deals on no-nonsense sun tan lotion? Need to stock up on it for the hols :D
 
I just use sandwich bags! Keeps damp off the insulin boxes and you dont 'lose' them in the pack!🙂Bev

hey superb tip bev!!!!! :D

Mike, where do you source your mind of useless, but helpful information from?

Isn't factor 30 emulsion? So is factor 50 full gloss and undercoat 🙄

Cheers :D
 
Ok cool seems like I don't need to get these liner things




I got mine in Tesco, ?3 a bottle, I got a f30 and 2 f15's.

Hmmmph.... as its you? Ok :D
 
This is confusing?

I thought I read the leaflet, but don't remember reading that.

But I did receive a lining for a duo and a large, unless it wasn't a lining, but it is definately something to put pens etc in to then put in the frio pack.

Did you not receive these lil miss loz?

I only bought these in Feb this year.

Hiya, nope i never received them, It said in the booklet that If i had digital/metal frame pens then i would need a liner at a cost of ?2 each.
 
Im just gonna get one anyway, Im sure I can afford ?2 😛
 
Well at least you can afford the 2 knicker.

Where did you buy them? I just can't understand why I got a lining with mine!?

So you only had the pack with the gel crystals in, no other pouches?

Sorry I must be having a blonde moment!!
