Title: estradot patches
Post by: discogirl on October 03, 2022, 06:22:13 PM

i just wanted to hear from people who have used estradot and what they thought of them.

ive only used estraderm and my anxiety/sleep seems to be getting better but i cant get estraderm so pharmacist gave me estradot.

just really worried about changing patches xxx

I have tried all 3types. My favourite was Evorel but the other 2 were okay. I understand it is scary trying a new patch as you do not know how you will feel but remind yourself you do not have to use it if it makes you feel bad.

You may even prefer estradot :)

Unfortunately it's all of the UK, and can strike anywhere!

Hi you might find the patches you want at another chemist in your area. Or try the Boots prescription checker. x

I've used estraderm, estradot and everol and I personally found everol the best, but none stick well too me, so went back to gel, you might really like them, try not to over think it that will only add to the anxiety of changing to a different patch, the nice thing about estradot is they are tiny compared to the other patches x

Hi discogirl, I just didn't get on with the estradot, although I liked how small they were I found them way to fiddly to get the backs off and they were curling up before I got them anywhere near to my skin to stick on me, and I didn't feel good on estradot but that's not to say in any way it won't be good for you, just my own personal experience, lots of ladies love estradot, I found estraderm and everol much better x
