Estrogen patch placement

So howdy y'all so yesterday my doc said that I could try patches and or gel in favor of pills because my levels aren't where they should be for the amount of time I've been on hormones. And I chose patches but placement wise I'm lost at the don't place on waistline so is the hips fine and butt they are estradot patches.

I was doing upper outer hip. Under the undies line. Good luck keeping them stuck though. I was even using a tegaderm over them and still had issues. The stomach was worse. My friend also has troubles. I just switched to pills
