For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Best thing I’ve ever done. I cut mine in half and put a waterproof bandaid on. I’m 64 and have been on the patch for 7 years plus. Must be on progesterone also. A must."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I had issues with sticking but found if I used alcohol wipe prior to applying it stayed in place for the week. Using body washes cause the adhesive issues."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "The patches came off after 1 day! They stick strongly initially but after 1 sweaty workout, it came off! I paid $198 for 4 patches, I can't afford 1 a day!"

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 recommend transparent film dressing over the top to keep Climara in place, the kind they put over IVs to keep them in place."

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."

For Hypoestrogenism "It worked for my endometrium growth ....I used it for fertility treatment."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have had no problems with my patch staying on, yes it does look a bit horrible around the edges, but for me it’s worth it to not have hot flushes and an irritable attitude anymore!"
