Hi is there such thing as a reusable travel sharp box I brought some mini ones didn't realise when you lock it locks forever x
 
I don’t bother with an “official sharps box” when travelling.
I use a small bottle and decant into may bigger box when I get home.
The bottle size depends how long I am away for. Could be a water bottle or a cosmetics’ travel bottle like they sell in Boots.
Official sharps bottles are a waste of money.

Thank you I mainly go away for two nights every week and mainly just for when I'm out and about at work x
 
Hope that is helpful @corriefan

I also just keep any sharps in a temporary container until I can decant when I get home. My infusion sets sort of seal themselves into a stout plastic outer, and my lancets are in a drum, so I don’t really produce much in the way of sharps these days.

I just lever the top open with a penknife if I accidentally lock it.
