After 9 years of injecting I.M. I’ve changed to sub -cut . I use a 30g x 6mm (1/4 inch) needle . I can only find them on Amazon.co.uk. —Antonmove steel pipe needle . I inject into the front of my thighs .

I use red filter needles to draw up and blue to administer. Hope this helps xx

I use 30 gauge all the time, they work perfectly.

I actually use them for IM in the shoulder and buttocks as well. They work well and super well for anything water based like B12.
