It just makes me shudder though mikey - I don't know why it should but it does.
 
I prefer 8mm. Long enough to get through pullover and shirt.🙂

Probably shouldn’t say that, it’ll frighten the purists.🙄
Yeah I find I have to beare more flesh now when I inject as 4mm with the denim I dont think they are long enough, so I do feel I can use my clothed legs!

I started on 8mm, but I remember that a week I spent in hospital (8 years ago) and they couldn't get a new prescription for mine 😱 so they brought out a 12mm and my husband went green! :D
 
LOL - going 'skyclad' has never been compulsory and we've both always found we tend to be more comfy wearing clothes at times!
