I figure if they teach U.S. Air Force pilots to inject through clothing as part of their survival training, then it's good enough for me! Have used that "technique" for most of my 33 years as a diabetic -- NO alcohol swab first -- even reuse my syringe (or pen needle). NEVER a problem, infection or otherwise. It's a great "quality of life" technique. One caveat, however: I probably wouldn't inject through my clothes if I had just cleaned out the septic tank...
