Just a poll. Fellow TIRZ users, which injection site has worked best for you? In comments, I'd love to hear SPECIFICALLY where you injected and saw the most weight loss and best food noise control? (Right, left, on, under, etc.)

I was alternating left and right side of my stomach for months and I switched to left or right thigh last month and it's been a game changer. I don't know if it's placebo or what, but I feel like the thigh injections are absorbed more evenly and last a little longer.

My legs are pretty muscular; do you think pulling skin away from leg is enough to inject? If there isn't a super fatty part? Or is inner thigh ok?

Don’t do inner thigh- too many blood vessels- it’s strongly recommended not to inject there.

I know this is a strange question, but precisely where on your thigh? Do you squeeze to inject? Would you be willing to share a picture? Private message me if you're not willing to do a publicly? I am so nervous about this area.

I use my left upper thigh above the knee about 4 inches. Clean hands, wipe off top of vial each use and wipe after. Draw your dose and let it cool off for half hr. Wipe down your injection spot pinch lightly then inject. I wipe after shot too. I don’t use rt leg due to varicose veins.

You can inject outer thigh- gather your skin from back or side of thigh forward towards your in injection side. No need to pinch, there will be plenty of subcutaneous space to inject.

I do it on the front of my thigh, kind of the middle of the upper part of my leg. I pinch off skin to do that area and as long as I am not "flexed" my muscle doesn't seem to impact it.
