Must admit, I don't find the threaded plastic bits an issue. It's that sharp metal bit on the end that I'd love to do away with.:D

Great news Steff! Glad to hear they suit you so well 🙂
 
I like them, I will ask my GP about them.. 🙂
 
Saw my GP today and she had just heard about them and had some samples so I tried one, much easier for me with my wrist problem. The pharmacy had to order them so I will pick them up Thursday.. 🙂
