Question for E-takers: gel or patches? Got a strong opinion either way? Anything you wish you'd known before starting?

@RinaVolpina I'm quite a sweaty person so I had a lot of trouble getting the patches to stick.

I switched to gel and while it can be a pain waiting for it to dry, once it has dried it's fine.

@Keab42 This... could be a worry. Where did you stick the patches? And how long does the gel dry?

@RinaVolpina patches go on your upper thigh. I ended up having to use micropore tape or tattoo wrap to keep them on.

Gel takes 2-10 minutes to dry depending on the weather and how thin you can spread it. It can go either on the outer upper arms or inner thigh. I do thighs so I have a couple of minutes of walking weird or sitting watching TikTok.

@Keab42 Ok, good to know! Upper thigh sounds good, thanks!
