HelenM; I wonder though if modern needles being so much shorter and thinner might be more likely to distort/blunt if you tried to inject through thicker clothing.[/QUOTE said:
That's the point I was mentioning earlier Helen. Those that are old enough will remember the needles that were screwed on to the glass syringes, these were reused time and time again and felt much like a knitting needle inserting the skin, I had problems back then with bruises and lumps from those awful needles. The new modern micro-fine needles are designed for single-use injection and blunt very easily, so injecting through clothing will ultimately damage the needle and perhaps fail to deliver the full dose of insulin. As a poster said earlier.......'each to their own'........but I would again advise against it. Toby.

Fishnet tights are great when it comes to injecting through clothing 😛

On a serious note, If im wearing a dress and tights, i stick a pair of shorts over the tights so that i have some privacy when lifting the dress up to inject into my stomach.

Personal views, i always inject straight into skin.
