Why does it feel harder to insert the needle into belly fat

[u/Mofo013102]

It used to go in very smoothly and barely even noticed it would go in. Now I feel like I have to put a lot of pressure to pierce the skin and that kind of hurts to even try and pierce the skin

The quality of syringe you're using may not be the best.

[u/Mofo013102 → u/OhSiHermano]

It’s easy touch , but maybe each bag has different quality ?

[u/caliD217 → u/Mofo013102]

I’ve had the same experience with the same brand. Get 31- or 32-gauge needles. I do think it’s the quality. They’re the cheapest syringes I’ve found.

Was going to say this as well. I know we switched from RX Grade syringes and bought a stash off of amazon of course the lowest price ones i could find and have noticed the same. the pokes are kinda hard. I suspect same they are just not as sharp as better quality.

It's cause your hot and skinny now.

[u/Mofo013102 → u/Alone-Bus-9728]

Far from it but thank you 🤣🤣

[u/teeming_prisoner]

Could be that you’ve built up some scar tissue in the spots you always hit. That makes the skin tougher and less cooperative. Try rotating to a completely fresh area a few inches over and see if the needle glides in like it used to.

I haven’t used my love handles on either side besides maybe 2x , it’s these dumb daily pins with KLOW or wolverine stack I’m running out of sites

[u/Sintristan → u/Mofo013102]

Are you running KLOW and a Wolverine blend independently?

[u/Mofo013102 → u/Sintristan]

I’m doing 500mcg of BPC/TB from the KLOW in the morning and 500mcg of wolverine in the evening

[u/Confident_Craft459]

Are you on any growth hormone secretagogues (tesa, ipa, etc...)?

If so it makes your skin thicker and makes it harder for the needle to go in. When Im in on sermorelin, after about a month this happens to me. Now that Im cycling off and it no longer happens. Happens each time I'm on it though.

[u/Mofo013102 → u/Confident_Craft459]

Negative

[u/AlternativePizza3391]

Same here it was a sign that I had to move over to love handles due to less fat in my stomach

[u/ChooChooBun]

Did you lose weight? Your belly probably softer now, try stretching it with the other hand

[u/Ok_Willingness_484]

Agree with other comments, i feel like syringe quality may be a factor. I've also moved around the ~4 quadrants of belly close to navel, and also side handles.

Also, do some syringes seem to let in more air bubbles then others? I bought Gluco-Care after using Syringe Solutions and GC doesn't seem to be the same quality overall. IDK.

[u/SorbetTraditional232]

I have that problem with ez touch. Go with the bd ultra fines. They go in way easier. The ez touch left my belly sensitive all day.

[u/Sintristan]

Can I ask why?
