HRT patches and riding

[wiffin]

Does anyone else have trouble with HRT patches while riding? I use patches which can rub when riding. And be quite sore. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I just need o use them in a slightly different place😳which my GP doesn't want.

I don't ride but i put mine on my stomach just above the bikini line. Bum cheeks /hip ones can peel where my swimming costume rubs. My doc has never dictated positioning other than bum, hip, tummy....

Thank you. I was told on my bum. Will ask about alternative placement. She was very clear last time I asked, but its not working as it is.

Use the gel instead. Much less faff.

I'm under private meno care at Newson and they've not had any issue with where i place it. Getting trickier with my new meno belly but i just try to avoid the creases.....

Gel not as effective for me so had to ditch that option

Patches were recommended for me to help keep levels steady. Sounds like a belly patch might work. Will ask if that's OK with the patches I use.

I use Estradot - they stick better for me, and smaller than Evorel. Maybe try Estradot if you are not on those?

I use evorel and put them on my upper thighs, front or side. They don’t cause me any bother when riding. Anywhere below the waist is fine.

Thighs for me and no problem when riding.

Or hip rather.

Thank you all. Will ask about thighs as well. Slightly less wobbly than my tummy!

I ride, and I put my HRT patches on my outer thigh. Never had a problem.
