For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been using this patch for one week, and it keeps falling off. One shower and it is off. I didn't have any relief from this. Around the edges, it collects dirt and then doesn't stick."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I had high hopes for Climara, but it’s nasty. In a day or two, the glue leaches out around the edges and is black and sticky. Ugly product!"

For Atrophic Vaginitis "Like it so far except I'm bleeding a lot. My doctor says it's normal for the first 6 months. It's like having a period 2 weeks of the month. Other than that I think I'm more chilled, no hot flashes."
