I use sleeves like these in the piping industry to protect against high temp steam.

those look solid, good call.
you should also get some outer sleeves for the whole thing itself if you really wanna seal in all of the flavor and whatnot. i started using these on all of mine after moving a couple of times and noticing that there's really no way to keep everything safe without them.
I use this. They fit almost everything so far including biggish gatefolds.

Are these the sleeves you have? If so, I have the same ones, and both Bon Ivers and Kendrick definitely fit in them (though the BIs are a bit tight). Try them with different individual sleeves, because I've found the sizing to vary quite a bit between each.
If all else fails, those sleeves are 12.75", so get some 13" ones.
Yea, that makes perfect sense. That isnt a bad idea at all. I usually get these sleeves, but The Fragile was my first purchase that simply isnt fitting.
2 weeks to a month should be enough time for them to figure out how to reconfigure schedules.
Side note: Has your company provided you with assaultive behavior management training? The two companies I have worked for both made sure to have all BTs undergo this training for liability reasons. A part of this training is for the supervisors to provide safety equipment when necessary. If your client is leaving bruises on your arms it seems like you need Kevlar sleeves. You can either buy these off Amazon out of pocket or ask your supervisors to provide them. I would also start documenting how many bruises you are going into session with and coming out of session with. And I would email your BCBA and CC the clinical care director/coordinator about the bruising as well because your safety and health matters. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KHP988M/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_N9CGPGP6DZWTJMAQBBE7 (these are not the only options just an idea of what to look for, I also don't know how to hyperlink so sorry about that).
Everyone talking about “sleeves” is talking about Kevlar sleeves. They don’t stop the bruising but reduce the likelihood of breaking the skin. For example, these

I don't really need them anymore after correcting my form, but I still wear them just in case. (Sorry about the link format, it wouldn't let me embed it in the text for some reason).
Oof I see what you mean
idk if you have access to Amazon or if these would ship in time if you do but I got these arm covers a while ago and they’re a lifesaver…https://www.amazon.com/Protection-Cooling-Sleeves-4-Pairs-Cycling/dp/B07PNPM68B/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=10F4R1QRSLPWQ&keywords=hope%2Bshine%2Bsleeves&qid=1644795615&sprefix=hopeshine%2Bsleeves%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
Highly recommend if you can get some, cover your whole arm pretty much and don’t roll down. Not sponsored, I just love them lol. I tell people I’m paranoid about getting sunburn if they ask why I’m wearing them
It’s alright; very common with album covers. It’s just paper, and if you’re handling it, it will be worn. As someone else said, trying to fix it will only make it worse.
The best way to cut down on wear and tear is to keep the record in a protective sleeve (hard to find not in bulk online, but if you have a record store near by, they should hook you up, and store the record on its side (up and down) out of direct sunlight.

The ones I bought from sleeve city are backordered, there's all kinds of them on amazon. The ones I have are polypropylene and 2.5 mil thickness similar to these on amazon. I'm sure some people here can recommend their favorites. I load them from the top and put an inner sleeve behind the album cover, but I make mine so I can just slide them out.
I got these* sleeves and they are amazing. Idk how they'll be for swimming since I just wear rashguards with long sleeves lol but I do farm work and just life in general with those compression sleeves and they stay up while working etc and are pretty comfy, 10/10 recommend.
And if u wanna wear a rashguard/shirt over your swimsuit when you swim I find it depends where you live, where I live now like half the people at the pool are wearing long sleeves so it's no big deal if I do too but if it's always hot out it might get weird unless it's an outdoor pool where UV rays would be a valid reason to cover up and there's always the "I burn easily" (no pun intended) excuse haha
*not sponsored lmao
These are the ones I use to sleeve my collection. They fit almost every gatefold, double LP albums and even 3x LP albums as well. I like them because they don’t get foggy or cloudy which tends to happen with cheap sleeves over time. Also makes it easier to slide out the album when pulling from the shelf.
Also I recommend after sleeving your records that you keep the LPs stored outside of the jacket, use the sleeve as a pouch and store the LP right behind the jacket that way you can avoid constant wear on the jacket. >I hope that made sense.

these sleeves are a lifesaver. They don't fall down and they cover up well. And it's just the sleeve, so you don't have another hot layer under your shirt! I wear them to cover up some scarring on my arms and they're great. 10/10.
To wash them I recommend hand washing with cold-lukewarm water and a smidge of soap and hang to dry. Takes like 2-5 minutes to wash and I usually let them dry overnight (although they're usually dry in just a couple hours)
I use these and they seem to fit everything up to and including a 3xLP 180g gatefold. I know you can get larger ones for larger packages but I'd recommend something over nothing for sure. I even leave the shrink wrap on after carefully slicing it open but that's just me.

These are what I use, not too expensive and they fit every thickness record I got with no problems
Does anyone know a good brand of outer protective sleeves that fit their triple and denser double albums? Ive been using these from Big Fudgeand like them a lot, but a few of my denser gatefold don’t quite squeeze into them.
I use leather sleeves on my non stinger arm to protect me
Can someone please help me find some 10" outer sleeves like these? Ideally, in a 50 pack. I only seem to be able to find 7"/12" or 10" sleeves with sealable flaps, which I don't want. Thanks in advance
I've been using these. They're great for single LPs but get a bit tight for doubles. I've had them rip on triple LPs.

I like wearing those hats with the brim all the way around and that also have a cover on the back for your neck. Not sure if quality matters but I see them all around in any gas station or home depots. Theres also sleeves you can buy on amazon . https://www.amazon.com/HOPESHINE-Protection-Sleeves-4-Pairs-Protection-Basketball/dp/B07PNPM68B/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=sleeves+arm+covers&qid=1596336811&sr=8-7
I like to wet those sleeves and they keep me cool for a while
Just buy some cheap plastic sleeves to keep your albums safe from dust and friction. Keep some moisture out and prevent some wear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078GD1H5B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qW95DbCPCVSP2
I finally got those heat resistant sleeves that cover your forearms for frying or stir frying.
Well worth it.
