Exactly that. I start a new regime today and I need advice about where best to put both.

Don't fail me, ladies. I'm relying on you to know more than the docs!

Thanks so much xx

Do you apply the Tostran in the morning?

[Annie0710]

When on estradot I'd put it on outer thigh but bum cheek when abroad

Now I'm on oestrogel and Tostran and alternate outer thighs in the morning.  I slap on after dry from shower, let dry whilst drying my hair and doing make up, then get dressed x

Stupid question but does the Tostran need to be rubbed in over a big area like Estrogel?

[Annie0710]

One pump is quite small so shouldn't take much to rub in.  I smear my gels to dry and I'd say the Tostran is about the size of a golf ball area on skin smeared on at the most, probably smaller, I don't take a lot of notice to be fair, it's quite a quick part of my morning routine xx

I squirt the Tostran on my left lower inner arm and rub it in with my right inner arm. None is wasted that way 😄. X

I have only ever put Estradot on my butt cheek - except for a brief couple of weeks when I put it on my tum as suggested by some on here but too much of my loose baby skin in the way - so butt cheeks forever! If you change the site of application then there are likely to be differences in absorption so best to "stick" with the same part of your body! I alternate left and right cheek!

As for the gel - what dose will you be using? Do be careful with this one as it is twice as concentrated as Testim and the Testogel sachets so I would use a very small pea-sized blob. I don't know about the consistency of this one - it has a lot more ingredients than the others but if it's supposed to be rubbed in it makes its own space if you see what I mean. Just start rubbing in your tiny pea blob and it will naturally spread out a little. I always apply to the inside of my knee but lower arm would do just as well - depends what you're wearing and what you are doing with your arms and legs! You're not supposed to wash the area for several hours as far as I remember! Chelsea and Westminster recommend 1 pump of Tostran twice a week and no more than 3 x but I would do v tiny blobs so as not to get a surge of it personally and also easier to rub in a v small blob.

I always apply my T in the morning - it would be no good at night because it remains tacky so would come off in the bedclothes - easier to do it as Annie0710 - as part of your morning routine. I've even done it while camping in v small tent!

Good luck with this new regime and let us know how you get on - what dose of Estradot will you be using?
