What needle size and where you do get them, for subcutaneous injections?

Wondering what everyone uses in terms of size and sources.
-EDIT-
Thanks for everyone's input! Really love the community in this subreddit, everyone's so friendly and helpful. I will try out a few of the online places.

But this is the part I am unsure about.
I take the needle, I remove the cap, and then I clean off the injection site of the top of the bacertiostatic water, and I draw out 3ml of water. I then clean the top of the SEMAX vial, and push in the needle and then plunge down the bacteriostatic water and mix it.
That I store correct with the top placed back on? Then each time I want to dose, I take a clean needle, clean the top of the SEMAX container, and remove the amount I want to inject?

Well you cannot place the cap back on, once you break it off. That is sealed in the lab during the lyophilization process, to ensure everything is sterile. The actual top with the rubber seal always stays on, to make sure no contaminants get inside. So you just push the needle through that rubber seal every time you want to dose. It's always a good idea to wipe it with alcohol first. Then just store the vial in the fridge between uses.
