Can anyone help me out, I’ve just bought a Luer Lock auto injector cos can’t bring myself to plunge needle in myself 🙄. Which syringes and needles can I use for injecting into my upper outer thigh? Advice would be much appreciated.

Choosing needles for Luer Lock auto injector
I do not know anything about 'auto-injectors' as I just do it the 'old fashioned' way----which I can share my experience with that. I have found using a 27G X 1 1/4" much more comfortable than a 26G X 5/8". !! Also, I never use the needle I draw from the bottle (in US we have a rubber center you need to penetrate to draw the liquid)--just going through the rubber cap will dull the needle causing much more discomfort----. For the injection I put on a new needle and get on with it. Hopefully this will help you a bit...kel
It will depend on which injector you have bought. When purchasing you would have been given syringe and needle choices, these will be the ones you need to buy. If you are unsure they ship with a number to get you going, so you will be able to see what size they are and buy the same.
