Essentials for Living Together: What Does Everyone Keep in Their Home First Aid Kit?

The Body is Important! Let's Keep a First Aid Kit Handy.

Do you have a first aid kit at home?

For example, cutting your hand with a knife or scissors.

For example, feeling unwell and wanting to take a fever reducer or headache medicine.

For example, bumping your foot on a corner and wanting to cool it with a compress.

While doing household chores and living daily life, even if you're careful, minor injuries and troubles can happen.

When that happens, it's good to have a well-organized home so that you don't find yourself saying, "Where's the disinfectant and the band-aid?" "I can't find the medicine I want...!" "The compress is out."

Since disasters can occur at any time, it’s not only common sense but also very important to keep your first aid kit well organized and in its designated spot at all times＊

To protect the health of your family, let’s keep the first aid kit tidy so that anyone can find out what’s where at any time♩

In this article, I will introduce examples of boxes and contents used for first aid kits in detail.

How do you keep your first aid kit? Example 1

This is a storage case for first aid kits from Muji.

(The product name is Polypropylene Carry Case)

It has a handle for easy carrying.

Inside, there are two dividers, and small boxes from Muji labeled "Stomach Medicine," "Hay Fever & Cough Medicine," "Kakkonto," etc., which make it good for storing regular medicines.

It’s a very easy-to-use and clear first aid kit♩

Band-aids, medicines, compresses, hand cream, etc., are placed horizontally, so everything is easy to see at a glance when opened.

It doesn’t look like a standard first aid kit, but it blends well with the interior decor and looks stylish♡

This is also a first aid kit using the same Muji storage case introduced in Example 1.

One of the dividers is removed, and the long case containing band-aids and stomach medicine is used spaciously, which is a clever point.

It’s nice that it has enough height to store disinfectant upright＊

This first aid kit uses a CD storage box sold at Seria.

It's not big in terms of width, but it has height, so there's no worry about liquid leaks from disinfectants.

By the way, "First Aid Kit" means a set of first aid supplies. It could look cute if you make stickers or write text on it♩

A First Aid Kit is an Essential Item for Every Household＊

A first aid kit is necessary for every household＊

- Where to store it

- What it contains

It’s good to share these details with your husband and family, so everyone can easily use it in case of an emergency＊

Especially for medicines, many husbands might not know, so it would be helpful to categorize them, such as "stomach medicine," "headache medicine," "menstrual pain," etc.♩
