    23 is fine for quads, what length is the needle though??? It is recomended to use 1" pins in quads, and delts, and 1.5" for glutes.

    Hope this helps

    I've also used 1.5" 23G on my quads with no problems.

    1" 25G is the safest bet though. 1" pins usually come in 25G, but if you can find them in 23G, you won't notice it.
    There's not a whole lot of size difference. If 23G doesn't hurt in the glute, it won't hurt the quad either.

    Ouch.
    I'd go at least 23, many like 25, length is not as important if you like varying sites, and can remember to stop.

    25 is the best for comfort and for less scar tissue but 23 would be just as good for thighs shoulders etc.magic is right no need to worry about length as long you know how far to go.

    23g is perfectly fine for quads. Try it out, if you don't like it, then go get some 25g pins. Also, 1@ would be ideal for the length.

    i've even used 22g on my quads, 25g 1 inch is preferable

    note that if your using a 1.5 inch needle, you dont necissarly have to insert the whole way

    i personally dont recommend quad injections, all quad injections will make you limp for the next while

    The only thing that makes me limp is watching Nicole Richie.

    You'll be fine. I've had to use an 18g a few times when my supplier sent the wrong stuff. *shivers at the memory* I wouldn't recommend that though. haha.
