It won't absorb as well in the groin area. It's meant to be applied to the upper arms and shoulder area. It gets absorbed better and faster because it's closer to your heart. I asked the same question when I was put on it....and that's the answer I got.

It will absorb on the testicles..It will absorb VERY well..
the downside is that it will more than likely ,from what I have read, turn into hormones that you dont want..
So unless you really like all the negative sides from running test I would suggest keeping it on your arms!!

Thanks for all the info. guys, very helpful. I'm on 50mgs/day Testim; I'm not achieving the results that I should. My doc. is going to increase the dosage to 100mgs/day, if that doesn't yield what I need, my doc. is putting me on 100mgs test. cyp/week. MY test levels are below 100ng/dl. I just don't think the transdermal Testim is absorbing very well.

I'm 45, and it's from heavy anabolic abuse during early-mid '80's. I'd gladly give all my trophies away just to feel normal/good again. I had a lot of fun back in the day, but I'm paying for it now. But through it all now, no regrets, it was my choice. I'm still lifting, and plan to keep it up for sometime, 5'-9" 218 lbs. bf around 13%.
Hey thanks guys for all your feedback, and I wish you all the best. - 06-23-2006, 11:01 PM
I am only 26 and have no reasons...I just have the test levels of a 75 year old man naturally!!
I am what they call a REAL hard gainer!
Best of luck with your treatment charger..I can no longer afford the testim so I guess I will just pray the test fairy visits me at night! - 06-26-2006, 09:32 PM
For what its worth I am sure I saw data that absorbtion is increased a lot if you apply within 5 minutes after showering. In addition it helps to exfoliate the area of application. Sounds silly but it works much better for me and my bloodwork proved that out some time ago. I will say however that after a year of 4 pumps of Androgel a day my levels are starting to fall again.

I always exfoliate and apply within moments of drying.

I think I may try rotating sites and see if that makes a difference. I have read a lot of posts by people that seem to plateu on the androgel and have to switch to cyp. Its unfortunate as the gel helps to more effectively raise DHT levels as well. That is actually a VERY desirable thing as long as its not to out of control. I am thinking of switching to a compounded cream for awhile to see if the carrier is better than the outdated androgel alchol based carrier.
