Yes I most definately found the gel better,I tended to get a dip a couple of days after putting a new patch on and I don't get this with the gel I seem to get a consistent dose,go ahead and try it but make sure you get the Oestrogel and not oestrodose at the chemist as the carriers are different and the oestrodose was not as effective for me,a lot of ladies say the same.good luck
