A lancet is the pricky thingy that goes in the pricker device.Thought it was called a lancet - but finger prickly thingy is better.
Mine is the Genteel. It's a wonderful painless pricker and not restricted to finger pricking only and can prick from many places on my body. I usually prick on my palmsIt’s a finger lancer device but I call it the finger stabber.
I think people choose to prick fingers purely for the convenience and ease of transferring the blood to the strip. I tried my palm once and apart from finding it too painful it was difficult to get a neat drop. However where one wants to stab themselves with the little devils is entirely a matter of personal choice!Mine is the Genteel.

Absolutely its a personal choice. The thing is with my Genteel device it's not painful because I only need to make a very tiny and shallow prick and the vacuum it generates pulls up a neat drop.I think people choose to prick fingers purely for the convenience and ease of transferring the blood to the strip.
