Patch difference evorel v estrodot

Hello all
so I’m in surgical menopausal had everything removed in jan.
have been on evorel patches since then. I basically just don’t feel great and wondering if anyone had swapped patches and it made a difference.
estrodot seems to be more well heard of but does it do anything different to evorel.
gp won’t change over for me so before I go in all guns blazing😂 which these days will wipe me out for a week I though I would ask on here.
im already on testosterone.

Estradot is generally thought to be better.

The patches are much smaller and stick properly. On a hot day Evorel will definitely fall off, Estradot will still stick.

So I think it just works better because the patch actually stays on your body.

I’m on Evorel and not had issues with patch stickiness, but it does come in different strengths so maybe that needs to be changed?

@Linearforeignbody im on the highest patch as well as 1 pump of gel.

I’ve recently (2-3weeks) changed from everol to estradot and haven’t noticed any hormone related differences.
I changed because the everol patches were coming off from sweating during exercise.

I’m pleased I’ve changed. The estradots seem tiny in comparison and are much more discrete, and I’ve had no problems with them coming off.

Edited to add: I am on 100mcg patches.
And, I asked to change because the patches were falling off all the time.
