puss*.... jk... alright heres what you do, works everytime like a charm... from experience in the past, you'll know that nomatter what when you stick a needle in, it can hurt... especially in cold muscles... so what you wanna do is take a shower and let the warm water run on your right ass cheek aka whever you are going to shoot usually quads and glutes and once you get out the shower, within 5 minutes, stick yourself. 1) the needle goes in like butter 2) you feel nothing from the prop 3) massage a little bit and is easier 4) not have to worry about any else seeing you do it... 5)your clean as a whistle .... oh yeah, be careful not to drop your vial on the floor and break it 2 days into your cycle like I did in the past!! doh!!!
