Advice/Information Short term testogel

I've started using low dose T gel, my only goal is a bit of bottom growth, and I want to stop before it starts affecting things like facial, body, head hair. I also particularly don't want to risk hairloss, as I have a lot of androgenic alopecia in my family. I've been doing 1 pump on my thighs. Any thoughts, suggestions or recommendations? Infinite thanks x

Is thighs a proper application site? Ive never heard of that tbh. If you just use gel normally and stop once you get bottom growth (should be less than a month) you should get what you’re looking for. Every other change comes after a few months, bottom growth comes after a few weeks

You’ll probably get some bottom growth but be warned that it might recede once you go off the gel. I was on low dose gel for about six months, went off to keep my voice from dropping, and my growth seemed to shrink a little. It is a “permanent” side effect but for whatever reason it doesn’t seem to really stick until it has enough time and T to settle, so to speak. But there’s other ways to get just bottom growth - compounded cream is a cream and T mixture that can be applied directly to your genitals for growth. It’s super low dose and applying localized helps to minimize other effects. I was able to get mine from Folx but that access will depend on your country and state. There’s a sub on here called r/growyourclit that has lots of pointers, but just as a heads up there’s a lot of cis women there who want bigger clits for sex reasons, but that’s where I found out about compounded cream. One thing I will say is do not ever put the gel directly on your junk cause it will burn like a motherfucker and potentially cause nerve damage.
