I whiff occasionally although DH says he can't smell anything.

What's in the product list?

i?m not sure what's in the product list do you get the same smell ?

i used the gel on my legs before and could smell it around my private area and now i use it on my arms and can smell it again it has to be that because i had it before when on the gel i?m not sure if it's the alcohol in it ?

Dehydration and UTI's can make your urine smell of amonia.

It's probably the product? A reaction to hormones?  Maybe ask a Pharmacist?

Gel contains alchohol which gives off an odour when it evaporates - so your nose might be interpeting this as ammonia as sense of smell can change after menopause - mine certainly has! Also it could be how it is reacting with something in your skin. It does not contain ammonia or anything like it!

hi

is it ok to put the gel alternating thighs and arms or is it better to stick to one application site ?

thanks
