HCG Needle Question

[Nine91]

Can I use a 6mm insulin needle for subq HCG shot in the stomach? Most people say 1/2 inch. Is 6mm to short? Also, just to make sure, it's injected at a 45° angle, correct?

I use 8mm and just stick it straight in never heard of injecting at an angle as long as it gets in the fat your good

I'd say you're pushing it with 6mm.

Even though you're only injecting into fat, you still want to be sure to be deep enough into the fat.

I've also never injected at an angle, grab a pinch and go straight in

Alright, I accidentally got 6mm slin pins that's why I asked. I'll get 1/2 inch ones. Thank you!

As long as it get's through the skin you will be fine. Human skin is only 2 mm thick.

You will feel less pain if you inject at a 90°.
