Hi
I have just been prescribed Testogel alongside 5 pumps of estrogen as not absorbing/estrogen levels low. I have been given a sachet to last 10 days - would love to hear how you approximate how much to use, how to store after opening etc, where do you apply?
Thanks

I use a dollop on the end of my index finger. It's a bit bucket and shovel but you will soon be able to judge the right amount. I was told to make a sachet last 10-14 days and nearly always get 12 or 13! To store, slide a paper clip sideways across the open end, or fold top over and secure with paperclip, and store upright. I apply to inner thigh, alternating legs.

Ditto joaniepat!
I apply lower inner thighs adjacent to knee due to hair growth.
Ditto pea-sized blob (from testogel 1 % sachets) daily and paper clip.
One sachet lasts a fortnight I would say.

I use a pea size amount on my lower abdomen, every other day & one sachet lasts me around 14-16 days
