Title: Absorbing gel
Post by: Mariab on September 20, 2024, 01:35:16 PM

Hi Ladies,
I apply my gel to my inner thighs, but have read that it maybe better on the arms for better absorption.. does anybody have any experience with this?.

I didn't find any difference but you could try it and see if it makes a difference for you. Obs keep away from anywhere that could transfer to the breasts.

Where on the arms is best
Been using on my inner thigh but have to wait so long before finishing putting my clothes on

Hi,
On the outside of the upper arms is usually best.  :)

If you use 4 pumps of gel and wish to avoid using thighs, can you put two pumps on each outer arm or does each pump need a separate area?

It might be better to split the dose into night and morning when you're on 4 pumps? However you do it needs to be consistent but I would have thought 2 pumps per arm would mean it takes longer to dry. The instructions are to spread it thinly so I would expect you'd absorb a bit less.

Thank you all
Only been told to use one pump a day
So will swap to arms
It’s such a small amount but sticky
