Epipen bag for teenage boy

My teenage son is reluctant to carry his orange medbag out with him any more which I understand. Would really appreciate it if anyone could recommend any epipen bags/other medical type bags that their teenagers have used. It ideally needs to be insulated so they are at correct temperature but open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance.

There are various ones on Etsy, would he use one like this?

Is it the orange colour? My son doesn't use a bag like that so I could be way off base but based on how him and his friends dress, something in black would be less obvious.

How big is it? What if he had a crossbody/festival/whatever they're called for the cool kids bag or something that it would fit in?

One other option is to get just an insulated pouch for the epipen and carry them in a more fashionable cross body bag.

Just get a cross body bag or similar. Superdry, adidas, Zara have loads. Lots of teen have them.

What about an SPI belt?

If not that then look at other kit that runners use, you can get sleeve type carriers to wear on your ankle or upper arm too.

Thank you all for your kind suggestions - I think a cross body bag could be a great idea and hopefully try find a small insulated one that can fit inside. I know ideally they say the Epipen bag should be colourful and not black so can be easily found by friends etc. So if he had a brightly coloured one that he can can at least carry within a black cross body bag, he’s less likely to feel over conscious! Thank you all again x

My son has an insulated bag that he keeps in an adidas crossbody bag. He has a very discrete SOS key ring on it too

Thanks so much. Would be great to know which insulated bag he uses. Does it fit 2 Epipens and asthma spray etc? Also SOS key ring sounds clever. Would be great if you can please send details. Thanks again

Check out a guy called may contain on Instagram or TikTok - he’s a cool young guy with a nut allergy and he’s really inspiring- he made his own bags and was selling then just before Xmas

Thanks so much, I have listened to his talks before. Great to know, will check this out. Thanks again
