To bloody hate HRT patch glue?!

[Excitedannie]

What is this new hell?! I've tried everything to rid myself of the black squares on my thighs - baby oil, everything, I end up scrubbing until I'm raw! There must be a solution that I'm missing?! My thighs look like a chequerboard!!!

Urgh, I hated this too. Once your skin's warmed up in the shower, use your finger under a flannel with some shower gel and rub it off. Alternatively, I used to sometimes pick it off when I was sitting on the loo :-)

I use the evorel patches and I just rub a bit of vaseline on the area when I remove it - any residue washes off easily in the shower the next morning.

I use gel, much prefer it although it is more time consuming.
well maybe not if you have to spend so long picking the glue off.

Nivea eye make up remover

I had some of this in the cupboard and I use it on a cotton pad

Another vote for gel.

I just use a flannel in a warm bath. Comes off nicely. Sometimes I forget and notice the glue squares !

I use gel now but when I had patches I used a product called Lifteez, one wipe and it was all gone

Baby oil does work but you need to put plenty on and massage it into the glue residue really well, in little circles. Then put more baby oil on a cotton wool pad and wipe the residue off.

I get remove wipes, comes right off

This is why I opted for gel. I can’t stand sticky stuff all over me.

It’s a bugger isn’t it.
I find nail polish remover pads do the trick (the vitamin E ones in a little pink tub from Superdrug to be specific)

I use baby oil, never had a problem it comes right off

Ooooh I'm off to look at the remove stuff - didn't occur to me that there was such a product! I used a loofah this morning - and I'm literally red raw!!!!!! If the remover doesn't work, I'm going over to gel!!

I bought sticky stuff remover pads from Amazon. A box is £7.99 and lasts 10 weeks.

Zoff Adhesive Remover Wipes - 20 Wipes

Zoff pads from Amazon are what you need and you've just reminded me to order some more!

I think I'll have a look at those wipes too.

This! I pick it off when on the loo. Or bored.

Yep, 'neat' shower gel on finger tips, rub over thoroughly and a rub off with sponge or flannel. Roll any remaining residue off with fingers or towel.

Baby oil and a dry flannel, comes off in seconds x

I use the patch that I am discarding to remove the black grubby stuff. The glue sticks to the glue IYSWIM? Rub it off that way.

When I last looked I found it really difficult to get zoff (have used it for years, remember being a little kid and mum getting the bottle out to remove plaster residue!) but the remove are the same branding with the orange square on the box - not sure if they are changing the name or just from a different place

Nail polish remover should do it.

Zoff wipes are what you need!

Switch to tablets. Swig of water, gone.

This is a great idea! Why did I not think of that?!
