Idea Exchange: Shield yourself-and others-from anal gland discharge

Article

Keep the odor away with this handy tip.

To keep myself and others from being sprayed with anal gland discharge, I keep a paper towel between us and the anal glands I'm expressing. I put on gloves, stick my finger through the center of a paper towel, and then place lube on my finger. This way if anything is discharged from the glands, it will land on the paper towel and not on our scrubs.
