.75 patch wrinkling and symptom return

5 replies

Is anyone else on the .75 estrogen evorel patches?

How do you get on with them? I was on the .50 and had some symptoms creeping back so upped to .75 and all good for a few weeks but noticed they wrinkle loads and I’m feeling some symptoms return.

I put it on my lower abdomen and change sides. Anyone have any tips or experience similar? Thinking of trying the gel.

Thank you.

I have a fair bit of loose skin due to weight loss and it is prone to more movement so need to be careful when I put my Evorel 75 patch.

I find the front of my thigh, slightly towards the outer thigh and low enough it is below knicker line and away from where skin wrinkles during movement (found best position for me through a bit of trial and error).

Oddly I find the larger 75 wrinkles less, and the edges lift less/leave thinner patch marks when removed, than the 50 did for me - not sure why.

Have you tried putting it so where else? Or have you tried gel? I wasn’t absorbing well with the patches and feel loads better now I use gel instead.

I switched from the 100 patches to the gel, had a skin reaction and now on the spray! The spray is incredible and so easy!

You try a switch to Estradot patches. They are tiny compared with the other brands and stick really well. I’m on Estradot 100 and the patch is small and sticks like glue to my lower tummy.

Thanks so much all, I’ll give the thigh a go whilst waiting for gp reply about gel.
