[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1424703"] Interesting question and I am interested about what you find. I rarely injected in my leg but that was as much about convenience as anything: it's easy to surreptitiously lift your shirt and inject into your belly but pulling down your trousers is a little more obvious! Ok, I am being a little flippant but there is a serious point: I would not recommend injecting through your trousers as this will blunt your needle and more likely to cause bruising, etc. On the odd occasion I injected in my leg, I was very aware of exercise increasing absorption. Not sure whether this was due to the intensity of my exercise, less fat in my legs or something else. [/QUOTE]
