Title: How do you do yours ?
Post by: HopeAlone on November 20, 2017, 07:33:15 PM
As the title says another question about oestrogel application and absorption. I know this will probably already been discussed but my peri brain can't find my particular answers  for my questions which are
1. Is it best to apply to an area that absorbs it quicker ? I have noticed if I apply to arms it seems to sink in straight away . On my thighs it takes ages and leaves a sticky residue
2 rub or smooth it on ?
I'm sure I will think of more as they pop up 
Thank you

I put it on my thighs, I always know how absorption/dose is ok when I don't have night sweats.  I smear , not rub in.  It dries pretty quick but I do notice at work if I lean on my thigh it's a bit tacky against my clothes but not annoyingly so x
