"I take two 0.1 mg estradiol patches changed bi-weekly. It is equivalent to 4-6 mg of estradiol. My skin is softer, and I am more emotional. Lint gathers around the edges of the patch, but that is a necessary evil in order to get estrogen through the skin. I have tried many areas on my body. The only spot that clothing does not rub against or that people can see is my pubic area. Each side is shaved before applying the patch. I alternate sides every 3 days. Any questions, please contact me:"

"So I have noticed that my acne has gotten a bit worse, but other than that, my skin overall is fairly softer. I do cry a lot, and it has given me some additional suicidal thoughts, unfortunately, but I work very hard on those. I have noticed that after I am waxed, if I place the patch directly over my anus, it seems to hold that area together better but also lasts longer. I just have to remove it before I poop and then carefully clean and put it back."
