Lancets-Which One Do You Use?

[Cat Ma]

I still have some ReliOn Thin Lancets (beige) but can't remember what number these are. I need to get more. What number ReliOn lancets do you use? Do you use the thin or ultra thin lancets?

 

[Little Bit’s Mom]

I personally use ultra thin, but mine are the CVS brand.

I think the beige ones are 26. I use 30 now from Walmart ReliOn and they come in royal blue

Yes, beige are 26 G, 30 G are the blue ultra-thin. I'd keep boxes of both, some days she needed the 26 G to get blood, probably had something to do with the weather. I used 26 G more in the winter.

Thanks everyone! Going to try the 28 and compare to the 26 I have. Don't think I had luck with the 30 in the past but worth trying again.

I’ve used 28 too. I’ve only graduated to 30 once I felt really comfortable and confident on my testing skills. To be honest, it was a gradual and easy transition. I do think the 26 seemed to hurt her a bit more.

30 gauge?

Yes ma’am

Thanks everyone! CJ likes the 28g. I agree the 26g hurts. I bought the ones JanetNJ suggested.

I've been using this brand for years. Cheap and sharp. I tried a couple other brands but these are my favorite.
