Use what works for you. I normally just use 25g 1in
I actually generally use a 5/16 slin pin for arms and delts and it goes in fine. Lab work confirmed and everything. I wouldn't attempt it for a glute shot though.I use a 1/2” pin for everything but glutes and lats. Even with 3ml
Thanks for the feedback. I have been trying it for the last week and nothing has seemed to leak out at all and I am quite lean.I use 1/2 inch 29 or 30g slin pins in very upper glutes. I jam it down all the way with no issues. I’m not overly fat either. If some leaks sub q oh well. There’s guys that do all their shots sub q. I wouldn’t do that purposely for myself but if some leaks there then okay. Haven’t noticed a difference at all.
I've never been able to find 1" slin pins, 1/2" is the longest I've came across.Maybe I’m missing something here but what is a 1” insulin needle? All I’ve ever seen in a slin pin is 1/2”?
It’s just a nerve your bumping into is all. Happens in every muscle group for me except glutes. Not every time mind you, but often enough.I injected myself with a G23 1 1/4 (0.6x30mm) needle in my thighs. I always hit the last bit of insertion (probably on a nerve), and my leg always twitched. and it was uncomfortable. so I started using a G22 1 1/2 (0.7x40mm) needle in the glutes.
thinking of trying the shorter G23 1 thigh needle.
Does anyone have experience with thigh (or other muscle) twitching when pricked with a needle?
That definitely makes more sense! It’s been a long time since I’ve used a 1.5 and at least for me it’s totally unnecessary. 1” gets in the muscle every time.Sorry I meant a 1/2 inch needle. smh
