Am I applying Estradot patches properly?

[Happydaze2]

I replace patches twice a week (Tues and Saturday) and it’s only just occurred to me that I might be applying them wrongly! I put them below my waistline on my stomach area and change sides on a Saturday: on Tues I put a new patch on the same side as the Saturday one but not in exactly the same spot - a bit above or below usually. Is this ok? For some reason I just find it easier to keep track this way…

Well I just started mine today!! I’ve read through it all and the only thing I’d say is my leaflet says below the waist, so that wouldn’t be the stomach would it? So it says to put on the bottom or thigh as an example. I’ve put mine on my bottom! As you can see, I’m no expert though!

@Janus just checked my leaflet again and it says to apply on the lower abdomen, below the waistline. Also says when changing the patch to apply it to a different site, not to apply the patch to the same area for at least a week - which is why I’m concerned about not having been swapping sides each time, if that makes sense? Good luck with yours btw - it’s been a game-changer for me so far 😊

You are doing fine. " Not on the same area" just means not on the exact same spot.

I put my patches in my bum (I'm sure that's what the leaflet said) - I've changed brand recently so I guess I should check

ON my bum not in ...

I think it's just to avoid irritating the skin that you put them in a different place each time. Estradot don't irritate me at all but other brands have been itchy as hell. Not a good look to keep scratching about round your groin in public.
