I used to put mine on my inner thigh- all was good until I started getting really dark, thick hairs there.
Is there anywhere I can put it that is less likely to become hairy - like relatively hair free places like my backside?
Thanks so much🙂

Hi violetbat
Yes just as you said - I was advised ( in 2015 when I first started using it) to apply T gel to my upper inner thigh, but was warned I might get dark hairs there.
Not only did they grow there, but all over my thigh ( T is transported through the skin as well as being absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin) - which was a right pain. So I changed to the inside of my knee but continued to be quite hairy. Since I've never had much of a problem with excess body hair in the wrong places, I changed again.
Now - thanks to sheila99 on here who started this off - I apply to the soft part of the inner sole of my foot and I have not developed hairy feet!
Personally I wouldn't apply anywhere near any sex organs or anything like that as I wouldn't want any localised side effects and in fact actually developed interested sensations in the nether regions when I applied to upper inner thigh ::)

Thanks so much for the advice. Yes they really do migrate as well. It was quite shocking. I have managed to zap them with my Philips Lumea and most have gone.‘right, soles of the feet from now on!😍

On my bottom belly roll, I shave it anyway, so doesn’t matter 🤪

Thanks Hurdity
For some reason my reply didn't post with your quote!
Anyway- yes the hair on my thighs migrated all over the inner thigh- i looked like a Hobbit. I managed to zap it with my phillips lumea and most of it is now gone.
Right, soles of the feet it is then! Great tip :)

Oh dear, don't hobbit have hair on the soles of their feet? Perhaps not a good idea to put it there then, the hair might trip you up ;D
