Pen Needle Size

[STATIEEIGHT]

I’m a diabetic so have injected via pens for years - I use BD Ultra-Fine 5mm X 31G.

You will literally not even feel them going in - no comparison whatsoever to any normal syringe.

Also I get them for free

I’ve demonstrated to friends just grabbing one and stabbing myself 10-15 times really quickly in my gut to show you don’t feel them - and you seriously don’t.

I bought a box of 32 x 5mm and a box of 32 x 6mm to try.

@Commander Please post your progress with both. 4mm was too short for my research subject. I'm not sure if 5mm will be much better

[Commander]

I will. Some people have been suggesting 8mm, but that seems long to me. But who knows. I actually can’t remember what size I used when I was using insulin needles last year

For me 4mm places it in the dermis (mesotherapy level) and I get a raised blob. 6mm and I don’t have that issue.

@MyB
6 may be the ticket…

@commander I’ve been using these for the past month. Don’t feel them and doesn’t drag the skin on exit. Was $9.99 the first time I ordered them, now $12.99 (sad face)

I use 32g 6mm syringes I bought off amazon. GF and I just started using them and no issues. She’s tiny too.

@MyB
Those are actually the ones I ordered. They will be here Friday

I just ordered a box of 32g 6mm, too!
