A shot in the butt

Any particular reasoning behind this?

I was under the impression that a slow(er), controlled, precise pressing motion would go in clean, straight, and smooth and help minimize the chance of scar tissue forming, etc.

I think a lot of people dart because they don't like pricking themselves and find it easier to do that way? That aspect is not an issue for me. And I have VERY steady hands.

Anyway, if I'm wrong and darting is the way to go from a clean wound and damage vs healing perspective then that would be good to know, but I've always thought people darted more out of fear of the stick than anything else.

I was very clean with my prep and everything. The swabbing, all that is on lockdown. I wear surgical gloves when I do it too but that's just me and i find it helps me grip and control the needle better with my big hands.

anyway, yeah let me know what your thoughts are on insertion and why you recommend the dart method, thanks for the response!

Slow is better in glute area as a precautionary pain will occur prior to sciatic nerve penetration.

that's reason enough for me, thanks for the heads up. any downsides to sticking slow that you know of H, or anyone else... assuming you're not all shaky and unsure of what you're doing?
 
Ezred,

Yeah, I am in Japan for a while.

In regard to slow vs darting, in previous medical career days I would always dart pins to ease in pt comfort. That being said, the Sciatic nerve comment is LEGIT! Find a spot on your glute in the upper/outer area, and then go to the upper/outer spot of That spot. That nerve is big and you definitely want to stay away from it.

I never jab it in quick I hit a nerve once doing that and it hurt more than anything I've ever felt. I always go slow and steady now, just like giving it to a girl nice and slow when you put it inside.

I haven't shot in awhile can't wait to start jamming stuff in my ass.

No gay jokes please.

correct size IMO
25g 1 inch for quads also imo.

Thanks, have some on the way so I'm looking forward to trying those out. Bodyfat is low enough that I can get straight into the muscle on the glutes pretty quickly so i figured I'd try a 1" there too when they arrive. Might just pin a 22g 1" 'cause i have a few of those to see how the length is and the added girth of the needle I doubt will bother me I didn't feel the 23g at all.

Good luck, and congrats on your pin.

Thanks! I actually want to pin MORE OFTEN than just twice a week lol... should've done test P or something.
