Don't know why I never thought there might be additional localised benefits for gel users applying it to thighs. Great to learn something new like that

. Thanks Mary & Joziel.

Very interesting. When I start Lenzetto I may well do similar rather than on my arms

Big Thank You to all the ladies who joined in to this topic, that helped a lot! I switched to thighs yesterday and got quite strong side effects which i never had with arms (diarrhea, feeling sick, cold shivers - all within one hour after application), but as I read that can happen to sensitive women when they change the areas (and I am quite sensitive). So I will try with a smaller dosis next time and go up to my usual dosis gently. My 75 years old mom who started HRT year and a half ago also plans to switch her spray from arm to thighs. Again, many many thanks for all the answers!

Oh no

. That reaction sounds unpleasant. I hope it settles for you very soon.

It might just mean you're absorbing much better through your thighs and can reduce your dose.
