Lauren's Hope. Online. I got a lobster claw piece that I can hook onto anything I'd like. And the medical symbol is in black instead of red. They have lots of other options, too.

I'll 2nd Lauren's Hope.

Here is a website of a friend of mine who has collected several different links to companies carrying medical bracelets/dog tags. You will find the link to Lauren's Hope there also.

Here's what I wear.

There are other types on this site too. The only jewelery I wear regularly are earrings so I don't like I lot of whooha hanging off of me. I am not a bead person, nor girly and I hate anything that screams that I have a medical condition.

I have "anticoagulants" engraved on the back. I've had it for about 4 years, wear it in the shower, and I rarely take it off. So all things considered, it's held up well. I do need to replace it because the little red medical alert emblem is starting to wear off.

When I first was on warfarin and thought I was only going to be on it for 6 months, I bought a red silicone bracelet that said "warfarin". I think I got it on eBay for like 4 bucks. Not sure if they sell those anymore.

There is so much out there. Even some jewelry makers on Etsy sell some artsy version of medical bracelets.

I searched this site for the same topic and found Lauren's Hope. Then I did a lot more looking and ended up back at Lauren's Hope! Here's what I got:

I also got a beaded one that might fit your budget and Tomboy style a bit better:

I like Lauren's Hope because you can really customize your tag; mine is black and the inscription is also filled in with black, which a lot of other Med ID companies do not offer.

My criteria were simple: I wanted it to be able to live on my left wrist comfortably with my clunky men's watch (I'm not parietal to frilly things either. ;-) ) I wanted it to be nice-looking and not too obvious to most people, but still easy to read by first responders. I may be in the minority here, but I wonder if some of the more elaborate women's bracelets get overlooked as Med IDs by first responders.

There are also a lot of debates over how much info to include; mine simply says "taking blood thinners". I made a card for my wallet with more info.

A word about sellers on Etsy: there ARE some really nice bracelets but I did not feel comfortable that any of the hand-forged tags would be noticed by first responders as a Med ID.

If they have the medical alert emblem stamped or printed on it, an EMT or Doctor in the ER will see it. They're trained to look for it.

... my brother's a Firefighter / EMT. He said they do a pretty thorough check for these things if you're not able to speak for yourself

I ordered this one through Medic Alert Canada. I like it because at first glance it looks like a nice leather watch.

rmb - it's good to know that EMTs are trained to look at even the more elaborate bracelets. I was talking about ones like this, which are all over Etsy - I wouldn't risk it, or fault a first responder for missing it:

Oh yeah I see what you're saying. Yeah, that one I'd be reluctant to wear.

I was eye balling this one for a while:

I'm rocking a hideous generic "anti-coagulant" bracelet found at the hospital currently. I ordered a cute bracelet from Etsy that'll do the job ;)

Here's what I have. Bling, silver, gold, goes with everything. They have lots of styles

Can't help you here but that's actually a great idea! I never even thought of that. Thanks for asking the question :)

I never wore bracelets and I have one of the simple medic alert bracelets. I don't really care if people know what it is, but I don't think anyone even looks. I know I don't look if people are wearing medic alert bracelets. And I have several conditions that it is important that first responders see it. I've never quite figured out the need to make them fancy or to blend with wardrobe. I too am the "tomboy" type. My old job was driving forklift in a nuclear warehouse. I want mine functional and durable. And I have to say mine has held up through everything for 3 years now. And I NEVER take it off.

I'm using a RoadID. It's nice because unless someone really scrutinizes it I just look like a very conscientious athlete, and it can have a lot more information than a traditional med alert bracelet (including allergies, emergency contact, etc.).
