As the OP - im still no clearer as to where I should be applying it!I've been applying it on legs - inner thighs but recntly switched to upper armswhich is best!?? Abby x
One site says you can use on your face!?
Interesting topicI use 4 pumps, one each on inner thighs and outer arms. I go to the Newson clinic, and they told me to rub it in. Now I'm not sure! If its fat that helps with absorption, I wonder whether it could be applied to buttock? hmmmThanksJeepers xx
I was originally alternating between thighs and upper arm/shoulder as the packet says. The relief was erratic and I definitely got less relief when I rubbed it on the inner thighs. A couple of months ago I switched to the inside of my arms and the difference in symptoms relief is palpable- flushes pretty well gone whereas on the inner thighs I still got sweats at night..I will also try on lower leg where the skin is thinner.I have no idea whether to rub or not. There seem to be so many difference in opinion on that matter.

I've checked this with the manufacturer and some menopause docs, they agree that hydroalcoholic gels are not supposed to be rubbed, once you spread the gel the alcohol will evaporate and the estradiol molecules will permeate through your skin. Rubbing will only make you lose estradiol to your hands.
