I have recently upped my gel to 3 pumps as after a year on 2 the sweats were coming back badly.
After 3 weeks on this I haven’t got any relief but I just wondered whether I haven’t been using it optimally?
I have small arms and have always applied a pump on each- 1.5 on each now which makes it pretty thick.Now with three pumps could it be that there isn’t enough surface area for it to absorb properly?
Any advice very gratefully received.🙂

Hi, I also put a pump of gel on my lower legs below the knee. I agree, one does run out of limbs.

Would be better to be like that goddess with all the arms 
Durga, she is called, apparently!

I’m also doing 3 pumps. I do 2 on one arm, one on the other, alternating the double pump arm every day. I have heard the advice that for 3 or more pumps, you might want to split the dose into twice a day, like two at night, one morning. Anyone have thoughts on that?

It should be on inner thigh or outer arms so perhaps put 1 on your thigh. Or do night and morning. It should be spread thinly.

I put 4 on outer arms, 2 on each. X

Thanks everyone.
I had thought about splitting the dose. I wondered anyway if that might help at night and keep the levels more stable?
I'll also try lower leg. When I used to apply on the inner thighs I found it lost some potency.
I hate this menopause business.

I certainly feel like I have lots of arms the amount of juggling I do!
