Hi JacksJacks2
I'm on Sandrena gel, and I get the same thing, stickiness when I get dressed,
But I've read somewhere that as long as nothing touches for about 20mins, by the time it gets to the sticky stage, it's already been absorbed. So your hour or so should be fine.
I think, you can apply it to your forearms, and I know one lady applies it to her shoulders each day.
Hope this helps.
