Hi Dotty and all
As previously posted I've upped to 3 pumps of Oestrogel and doing 2 in the morning and 1 at night all on inner thighs.
I'm finding it such a pain to do both morning and night, waiting for it so dry, waiting to dress, worrying about transfer to husband etc so I started to to do all 3 together this morning instead.
Do you think the absorption will be as good piling it all onto the same place at the same time? Can you fit it all on inner thighs? I don't want to put it on arms as I want to keep it away from the breast area (paranoid). Do you think it would be better to put it all on in the morning or night?
I know my questions might be a bit daft sorry.
Thanks x

Hi, why don't you put two pumps on one thigh and one on the other. :) I always applied mine in the morning as about two hours later I'd get a sudden surge of energy.

Hi I put 4 pumps on every morning. 2 pumps on each upper outer arm and shoulder. X

Thanks, do you think it's better morning then rather than night? I wondered if night would absorb better as it's not rubbing on clothes or sweating with exercise?
When you put 2 pumps on 1 thigh do you do this on a bigger surface area than on the other thigh?
Thanks x

Hi the gel dries very quickly so I never have a problem with it rubbing on clothes. I must admit that that's one of the reasons I put it on my outer arms as I don't like the feel off it in my inner thighs....just personal preference.
I think morning is better as putting it on at night means there is more chance of transference to another person.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. When I started on the gel I worried about where I was putting it and how long it took to dry and numerous other things. Now I just slap it on anytime between 7a.m and lunchtime. x
