Gel Without Showering

[smitty4]

I am looking at switching from Cypionate to gel. It seems that most guys apply their gel/creams right after showering. I realize that showering first might increase how much is the absorbed, but I am wondering if that is necessary. If you schedule makes it difficult to shower first thing in the morning, couldn’t you just adjust the amount of gel/cream you applied and still obtain the desired results or am I missing something in my thinking?

Thanks!

it is recommended to apply within 3 mins of showering i can only assume this is to make the most of the gel penetrating into the skin,opposed to applying on totally dry skin without showering first.
i feel for maximum absorption showering first is your best option to get the most from your TRT schedule.

That is what I was considering doing. When the kids hit their teen years, they started wanting to get their showers in the morningand I wound up shifting and taking my showers at night. I haven't heard of many teens that take short showers and their is only so much time before everyone has to be at work or school.

I think I'll just pull rank on the kids and shower in the morning, but I was wondering if showering at night would be a problem with the gel. Changing mornign routines can be a traumatic event.

I see no problems doing a shower at night do it just before bed like an hr. Then put the gel on in the morning.
