Where do you wear your patch?
« on: April 18, 2015, 08:10:10 AM »

I have the estradot 25mg patch. It says to wear it anywhere on your abdomen which I have been doing. But would it be okay to wear it on my bum or inner thigh?

I can't remember which type I was given in the 1990s but I wore it on my thigh or hip area - anywhere that didn't rub against clothing.  Times have changed though  :-\

I was told to wear below waistline on either tum or bum. Been fine with them there Gypsy.

I always wore mine on my bum. That way no marks left if i went swimming  etc. I swapped cheeks each week  ;) and placed it away from my knicker line.
Mine also said to wear below waist.

Bum or tum- avoiding knicker or swimsuit line.

Might try my bum then. That why I can pretend it isn't there  ;)

The sticky marks they leave are a pain to get rid off though.

Rub a bit of baby oil on after removing patch, leave for a bit then rub off.
I shower at this point then apply new patch.

I don't bother with sticky patch marks now. Tried baby oil, but still took a fair bit of rubbing to finally remove. I've got used to my patchwork cheeks.  ;D

So things have changed because I was advised not to place it on the stomach area  ::)

As jedigirl - have always put them on alternate bum cheeks away from knicker line. I wear very short shorts in summer (around the house and garden and on holiday) - so  thighs are out of the question. I've got used to the marks, like cubagirl!! Estradot being small only leaves small marks  :). No good to do any hard rubbing  ::) because it can irritiate the area if you have sensitive skin!

Meno consultant said tum or bum, so guess she knows a thing or two about it.   :)
