Pin Question

So…this is probably a really dumb question, but it’s one that I have no experience with. I have been pinning w 23g 1inch for a long time and have obviously developed some scar tissue. I ordered some 27g pins and they sent me half inch by mistake. Is that deep enough for glute injections? I have a lean build, but wasn’t sure if that’s deep enough. I know that I can easily pin quads w that, but wasn’t sure about glutes. Any insight would be appreciated.

Personally I would not be comfortable using .5 on glutes unless I know I can withstand the subq leak, but I’m sure somebody has done it before. I also don’t know how deep VG would need to be pinned (if that’s the site you’re using) as I’ve only used the upper outer quadrant like a traditional ‘glute shot’ - VG may be ‘closer to the surface’.

Sorry it isn’t of much help, but I guess what I mean to say is, in your shoes I wouldn’t do it because I could just walk into a pharmacy and grab a few longer length needles to tide me over until the correct ones come in via mail. If needles are like, hard to come by for you, I’d just use a diff. site in the meantime.

Thanks for the input man. Honestly, I’ve never tried just walking into a pharmacy. I normally just order a box of 100 online. I still have enough 23g 1 inch on hand. Was just wanting to switch to something smaller. I’m thinking same as you, half inch probably not going to work for glutes. Maybe I’ll just start alternating injection sites w the different size pins. Save 1 inch for glutes and maybe half inch for thighs

.5 is perfectly fine for glutes. I use slin pins on my glutes with 0 issues.

Wow, no shit? Thanks man. That’s what I was looking for, some actual 1st hand experience. I’m gonna try that out tomorrow

I pin my ventro glutes with .5 inch 29g slin pins, never had a problem with subq leak or anything, seems to get into the muscle just fine. I’m definitely not single digit bodyfat either, so it should work for most people. I’ve never actually pinned glutes with anything shorter than a 1 inch needle though, IIRC. I’ve come to prefer VG over glute pins anyway, like most people that try the VG site.

Ok…So I pinned my glute this morning w the 27g half inch. Seems to have worked just fine. I used the 23g to draw with, then switched out the needle. Thanks to all who have responded and been helpful. Much apprrciated
