    Apply the gel after your shower in the morning and leave it on as long as you can. I think Dr. Crisler says that the gel is mostly absorbed after about an hour, but the longer you can wait until you swim or shower again, the better. What dosage were you prescribed? The pump version is much easier to use than the little packets. Depending on your dosage and how low your test. levels were before the gel, you may be feeling much better in a few weeks. Enjoy.

    Note that many of us "graduated" to injectable testosterone after having started on the gel. The gel isn't a bad place to start your TRT journey though.

    [FONT=System][SIZE=2]The "gel" is much better than the "injectable" because with the injectable lasting for 14 days (for example) day 1 (the shot), day 7 (the testosterone peaks (highest) then goes down, down and by the time you get the next shot your back down to where you started at day 1 ! The "gel" form keeps a always constant level of "testosterone" (levels) in your system...And then comes the new "pellet" that is injected under the skin and lasts 2 months..Thats a whole nother story

    You resurrected a very old thread with bad information. Injecting test every 14 days is crappy anyways. You can get similar constant levels of test by injecting twice a week, or at minimum once a week.
