Was so pleased about my purchase of 100 18g needles. I plan to put them to good use. Only drawback was that customs ripped apart the entire box and shipping was held up for weeks. Still everything came intact so I tasted it 5 stars.

Having graduated from 22G to 18G was a big leap but over all these needles (18G - longer) are very easy to use when straight out of the packet. I have become very good at solo needle play as these go into the flesh very smoothly. Mostly been using these on breasts, I have found the higher up on the breast/chest area you go the more intense the pain is, which is nice. Word of warning - when practicing needle play on bound breasts please be aware you may pierce a vein as due to the constrictive nature of breast binding the veins will find it harder to move out of the way of the needle.

These needles slide into the skin so beautifully. They are made from a sturdy metal and are easy to grab hold of when piercing self or others. There is a pinch when the needle has to get through to the skin and out again. Recommend these for all. Also for this worried about bleeding I have found with this gauge I bled a lot less. I’d suggest using them on a fatty part of the body to begin with and then move onto less fatty parts. Get to know the pain and all.
