Ongoing Critique of Test E Future Use

[Honkey_Kong]

In cart:
Alcohol prep pads
Sharps container
Inject safe barrier bandages
That part was easy.

A little unsure on quality:
Litetouch 3ml luer lock syringes

Shaotong luer lock 18g 1.5in drawing needle, 23g 1.5in for glutes...
and no 25g 1in for delts

Reviews are complaining about dull., flimsy needles that are painful. Poor China quality.

I did find Excel 3ml 23g 1 1/2in disposable syyinge with needle that is luer lock but no drawing or delt packs.

I've never in my life used an "inject safe barrier bandage." You're wasting your money with that.

I've used the alcohol prep pads when I first started running gear, but within that first cycle I switched to cotton balls and rubbing alcohol.

As far as the rest of that stuff goes, I've never used Litetouch or Shaotong anything before, so I wouldn't know about the quality. But they'll probably be fine

They are quite expensive bandages. When I get a yearly flu vaccation, they use those. Point taken. I might have a family member do the injection so I originally figured it might be less messy for them. Thank you for all your help and patience.

Just inject yourself. You're putting way too much thought in to it too. It's pretty easy to inject yourself.

It does look pretty easy if done like this without aspirating after inserting the needle.

Seriously, I was one that NEVER thought I could do my own injections. I mean, I hate going to the dentist or Dr JUST due to my fear of needles.

There really is nothing to it.

I did have my trainer sit with me and watch/guide me on my first one though. lol

I had to get allery shots as a kid so needles don't bother me so much. You can definitely tell when a pharmacist or nurse is good at giving injections. Some you feel nothing and it is not real painful after. When they were giving flu shots at a past job, that lady gave me the most painful injection I ever had and it was bruised up good the next day.

With that said, the needle doesn't bother me...it is just seems easier to inject someone else than yourself.

A lot of it comes down to the oils. solvents and whatever the active compounds are. Some brands of flu shots for some strains will hurt more than others. Same with allergy shots.

But I've found in general I'm more gentle (as far as pinning myself goes) than a nurse is. They'll just go right in there and jab you.

It's really not a big deal to pin yourself. After the first time you do it, it'll seem like nothing. And I'm not telling you to pin yourself or even to do gear.
