Insulin Pen Needle Injection Aid - Patent Pending Award Winning Universal Fit Add-on for Standard Pen Needles for Reducing Pain, Bruising and Anxiety - Made in UK (TickleFlex)

Bought this to use on my 14-year-old T1 diabetic daughter. She used to literally burst out in tears four time a day when her insulin pen would come out to give her a shot. Since she was diagnosed several years ago we've tried shotblockers and numbing creams to only limited effect and she could still see the needle provoking fear and anxiety. Then we tried this and she was like "Is it in???", not even realizing she had gotten the shot.It does seems to work better with needles that have the hub rather than a large flat surface; we tried a batch of those but she was able to feel her shots a little, probably because it doesn't allow the plastic "points" to press into the skin surrounding the needle as firmly before the large flat surface bottoms out against the skin.

I was a bit skeptical, but looking for a solution to make injections a lot less painful and more poorly to reach around to places I could not reach. This is the product that does it not a lot of money if you’re doing more than a couple injections a day I highly recommend it.

Very Very helpful product. Wish we knew about it sooner. Hubby has a hand injury that makes it difficult for him to inject his insulin, but with this, he has no issues doing so on his own with one hand. Its also less painful! The rubber o-ring is quite small though, and easily lost, but we were able to get a free replacement from the manufacturer. It would be nice if we didn't have to use the o-ring, but that's only a small issue. We recommend this product to anyone who uses insulin.

I SO BADLY wanted this to work for use with OZEMPIC SEMAGLUTIDE PREFILLED PENS 💉 for my once weekly Ozempic Semaglutide injections as I have been having GREAT DIFFICULTY in injecting myself.I honestly stumbled onto this TickleFlex product by accident on Amazon and I thought that after reading so many positive reviews about how it changed their lives with self injections 💉 I quickly ordered it.I felt a huge relief thinking this was FINALLY going to be MY solution to self injections 💉 and I couldn't wait for it to arrive!It came super quick, faster than expected (THANKS), so that was awesome! However, my weekly injection 💉 day wasn't due for 2 more days so I read and researched everything I possibly could about this TickleFlex so I would be fully prepared for any "user issues" I might face with it.I tested it out without putting a needle onto it, just to get the feel of it in my hand and get accustomed to how it felt on my body injection areas, specifically to the sites I need to rotate for my injections weekly (stomach, upper thighs and outer upper arms).Finally the injection 💉 day arrived! I was somewhat confident in myself since I had spent SO MUCH TIME researching and "faux practicing" with TickleFlex that I truly did feel confident using it AND I totally felt in my mind that it would work for me flawlessly......NOT!!The first injection 💉 was a complete and utter failure! The TickleFlex definitely distracted my mind from injecting 💉 myself BUT the way TickleFlex is designed, I either did it wrong or I just needed to try again next week and maybe push it into my skin even harder???TickleFlex made the Ozempic injection 💉 deliver the liquid semaglutide JUST EVER SO SLIGHTLY UNDER MY UPPER MOST SKIN AREA, which ended up burning 🔥 terribly the entire time I injected, as well as made the area of injection have an immediate large blister type area where it barely injected the liquid semaglutide under my skin...sigh....it was SUPER sore immediately (and for days to come) and it also ultimately left a big nasty bruise that is still slowly fading after more than a month.Another week goes by and I again ready myself to use TickleFlex for my Ozempic semaglutide injection 💉 (for attempt number two) .....ANOTHER FAILURE!! I pushed down super super hard with the Ozempic pen and made sure the TickleFlex was secure and deep into my skin, pressed the top injection 💉 pen button to deliver the Ozempic semaglutide and once again it only injected the semaglutide BARELY under my top skin layer, again leaving a red and sore spot with a large blister type area that I could see where the fluid was just ever so BARELY under my skin. SIGH Also sore for an extended time and again bruised but still fading.Having read everything possible about TickleFlex and making sure I was doing it correctly, I reached out to my Physician to ask if she had heard about this problem of self injecting 💉 and with using the TickleFlex device.Here's what I found out: The Ozempic brand semaglutide in prefilled pens use a super super SUPER THIN needle (32G 4mm) which is also incredibly short in comparison to most insulin needles. She said she's definitely heard of and even recommend TickleFlex to some patients that have injecting 💉 issues, and even children use the TickleFlex device on themselves with great success, but mostly with insulin which has longer needles (5mm to 8mm on average for insulin needles). However, with Ozempic Brand semaglutide injection pens, they come with NovoFine Plus 4mm long needles for injections 💉 which makes it incredibly difficult for the TickleFlex to work as well as it would with longer injection 💉 needles, like insulin has. She said that I'm injecting into the top upper layers of my skin rather than into the subcutaneous areas of my skin, likely due to the TickleFlex product keeping the needle up a little higher off my skin, just by the way it is made. She suggested coming in for assistance with self injecting 💉 help with my Ozempic until I can get to the point of doing it myself comfortably since it's important for my health issues to properly get the semaglutide into the appropriate layers under my skin. The TickleFlex injections 💉 DID allow the semaglutide liquid into my system she said, just not as effective as it would have been had I gotten into the Subcutaneous layers of my injection areas.💉 💉 💉 WHILE I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR OZEMPIC BRAND PREFILLED PENS USING 4mm NEEDLES, I DO SEE WHERE IT'S HELPED MANY MANY PEOPLE WITH THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS, WHICH IS AWESOME!!

I’ve used TickleFlex for less than a week, but so far, so good. I don’t have a needle phobia, I’m not afraid of the pain, and I’m a senior citizen. The reason I decided to try TickleFlex is for the constant lumps and bruises I experience with my daily insulin injection. The bruise on my leg, along with a marble sized lump is from an injection over a week ago. The red mark is from an injection less than 15 minutes ago. Yes, it leaves a little mark, but no pain, no lumps and no bruising. Each time I’ve used TickleFlex, I’ve wondered if it is in my skin because I can’t feel it. But when I remove the pen, the insulin has not leaked, so it must be doing its job. I don’t know how it works, or how long it lasts, but it is a new permanent addition to my daily insulin routine. It works like it says it will.

I’m sure this is a fantastic idea. And I LOVE the concept however it’s not made for those of us that use the auto injections for biologics.Please put that in your description bc it listed it nowhere. And I would not have purchased it otherwise.This could be fixed to accommodate an auto injector.

My wife has been a type 2 diabetic for a number of years now. Thus she has been on the insulin pens for years now too. BUT all of a sudden she has grown a NEEDLE PHOBIA and my guess is bc she was in the hospital for a week and they were sticking her day and night with needles. Thus I searched the internet for a solution and finally ran across THIS, the Tickleflex ! Would it work ? 95% said it did so I bought one.Amazing ! I HAD to try it on myself first. IT WORKS like they say it does ! NO PAIN ! AND it hides the needle from view too ! All I can say is TRY IT , YOU'LL LOVE IT !

We could not figure out how to use this. Went back to how we were doing it.
