Hello ladies

I swapped from Femoston tablet to Sandrena gel last autumn so haven't done a summer holiday with gel yet.

Can I really swim an hour after application and am I ok to apply sun cream after an hour too?

I usually apply Sandrena after a shower in the morning, inner thighs. I'm feeling really well with it! Just hoping it continues.

What's your experience please?

I used to use Oestrogel and the instructions said to leave 2 hours after application before bathing or applying other things. I used to apply first thing to inner thighs after a shower and if on holiday I'd just wait the two hours before exposing to the sun and water. DG x

Thank you!

And you didn't have any ill effects?
Still felt it was working?

It's been a long journey to feel as well as I do and I think I've lost a bit of confidence and I'm just waiting for the next hurdle. I do love being in the water with my children on holidays!

It's very reassuring to hear it was ok for you. Maybe I'll have a little practise run in the swimming pool before we go. I used to swim regularly but I've taken up running in the last year.

I think 2 hours is a good time for absorption. Enjoy your hols. DG x

Oestrogel instructions state to wait an hour before showering or swimming. So if you wait 2 hours you should be fine.
