So did I, and it looks worth 4 mm and I think that made it quite tricky as you have got to get the needle through the rubber seal. But on the other hand I didn’t want the longer needles as I don’t look when I put it in to my body and I didn’t want to have to judge if it was in far enough!

Is there any chance you could post a picture or link to the ones you buy, I just can’t seem to work out how to do that. Thanks.

That’s what I got. I don’t know if you can take one needle off and put another one on afterwards but if you can I would probably get longer needles for the ‘extraction’ and then put on a 4mm for the injection.

I watched a YouTube video as I was doing it.

These are the ones I use. I am not faffing about with changing needles when there is no reason to!

I’m not actually changing it, I just think it might be easier to suck it out if the needle is longer. I definitely don’t want the needle to be twice the length it should be when I’m injecting it on though as I like to just shove it it. (Elegant)

@SuperTroopers I agree I would be more comfortable with more than 4mm to get through the bung but pens are regularly sent out with needles between 4-8mm and the guidelines say up to 12 so there is no length it ‘should be’. Some people prefer 8mm as they get reactions with shorter ones🤷‍♀️
