Stinging/Burning with Amopure

What do you mean about automatically inserting the needle?

Some automatic injector pens commonly used for insulin have a spring loaded needle that is recessed. You put the opening against the skin and when the button is pushed it deploys the needle then administers the dose. Similar mechanism to an epi pen or a lancet.

No. You have to insert it manually but I don't even feel it. I am using the 31g x 8mm Medfine needles that I got from Peppens when I placed my order for the pens
Peppens is just one of many websites selling Chinese injection pens.

Check out the Peppen thread
It has links to videos and some discussion on them. When the pens are on sale you can get them for $15 each.

That's perfect. I'd rather manually insert the needle because then I can control the angle or move to a different spot if I'm having issues getting the needle in.

I've had a lot of abdominal surgeries and there are a lot of areas on my belly with fascial adhesions and restrictions just underneath the skin even if isn't near a visible scar. It makes it difficult for the needle to go through sometimes and I get a lot of resistance. A spring loaded mechanism would probably hurt like hell and cause a lot of bruising if I inadvertently hit one of those areas.

I try to alternate belly and thighs, but I don't have much fat on my thighs (cursed with chicken legs no matter my weight) and it seems I'm prone to ISRs when injecting there.

What about the back of your arm? I personally don't use that location on myself because I like having both of my hands available. It is another common location to give subQ injections.

I would hate that personally. I want to be in CONTROL! lol.

It's too hard to reach a spot that I can actually see without doing some crazy contortionist moves due to having very large tatas lol. Even with a mirror, they get in the way and the entire experience is very cumbersome. Maybe once I've lost some more weight and the girls shrink down some it'll be easier.

I have titty bitty tiny titties and they are shrinking with weight loss. It is not fair. The ONE place I would love to keep all my fat. : (

Another great selling point to me on these manual pens is the fact that you are installing a new sterile needle EVERY TIME you inject.

I'd trade you if I could!!! I had to buy an $80 sports bra just so I don't knock myself out when jogging
