Hi there I'm 1.5 too and I use 4mm or 5mm needles around my abdomen or on the outside or front of my thighs. Most injections don't hurt but sometimes for some reason they do hurt and I guess you just have to get used to it. No magic answer I'm afraid.
Good luck

Welcome to the Forum!

The best places that I have found are the stomach, back of the arm and the thigh. Basically any place that there is some fat. You don't want to inject directly into the muscle. Remember to alternate your injections on a regular basis using some form of grid system.

Here is a picture.

I use pens as well (for now, going back on the pump soon!) and have found that my tummy works best.
