[QUOTE="jmackinnon, post: 2132213, member: 514399"] I've pretty much tried them all but I'm only comfortable with my butt and stomach these days. Not enough fat on my arms or legs to make it work comfortably. I've also heard that varying your needle size can sometimes help with absorption as well. I currently use 4mm, but for some the longer 8mm work better for them. Everyone is different I guess. For some there are issues of pooling just beneath the skin (with the shorter needles), others have the issue of going to deep and it getting into the muscle. Try some experimenting perhaps and see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
