I haven't used gel or spray.

I have used patches though. Patches are difficult when you need to bathe because they generally stay on for a week and as soon as you get them wet, they're toast. Also they're little pieces of adhesive stretchy plastic that leave residue on skin and can suck to take off if your skin is sensitive.

I use spray on my arm, it's pretty handy. Dries in 2-4 min enough to put the sweater on, and 1 hour after applying you can shower.

Depending on your advice, you'd have to apply it 1-2x a day, with a total of 2-3 doses per day. Cis women tend to have the highest E levels in the morning, but I use them in evening because ironically they also help me fall asleep.

Gel is similar to spray, but it dries slower (10 minutes), though still pretty decent.

here's a guide (the comments below are also handy to read through, Will has some good info there)
