25g vs 27g needle size?

[johnnymctrance]

Just trying to get your preferences on 25g needles vs 27g needles for Intra-muscular injections

Just trying to get some feed back on:

injection time - as in amount of time to release all the medication into the muscle?

pain - the pain felt while receiving the injection?

PIP - is there much difference in post injection pain?

Ease of use - does the smaller gauge tend to bend more or likely to break in comparision to the higher gauge?

And any other additional information you might like to add which may be helpful!

Thanks

I used a 23g in my previous cycle... was trying to see if i should go with 25g or 27g this time as i thought i might be more comfortable than a thick 23g!!

25 for me all the way!

Would you mind mentioning how long these 25g needles are that you use?

like 1inch, 1.25inch or 1.5inch?

23g is all i have used so i cant compare if you found it uncomfortable no harm in trying the 25g

I use 22&23 no pain most of the time

I think 27 is too small for oils, I've used 25 and 23. I prefer 23. I have less PIP with it.

I've done 2 cycles with 25g and one cycle with 23g. I've experienced less pain with 23g. Problem with 25g is its so hard to push the oil through that I tend to move around too much when pushing. This causes a lot of post inj pain. 23g you do feel a slight more pain when penetrating but its worth it for hardly any pain afterwards.

I have used both and for me the 25 gauge was best. Seems to boil down to personal preferences.

I have always used 26g 1" pins for every poke all the time. Smooth and easyy!!!

22-25G 1-1.5" I prefer 23's as well.

[tdoe11]

23 1.5ers for me sir

[fit2bOld]

25 1"

[Lunk1]

25 1"

I have 1.5"....got ya beat

I have tried 20, 23 and 25 gauge. I prefer the 20G x 1.5". It seems that the larger barrel provides a low pressure, smooth delivery of the viscous oil into the muscle. Of course, I am doing only dorso and ventro gluteal injections.

23G x 1.25" for me
