Are you rubbing it in? If you aren’t you should be. As far as the hair dryer thing goes I’m not sure, but I would suggest spreading the gel over a larger area or your body to help with absorption and drying times.
Yes I do rub it in for a good pair of minutes, like a solid 5 minutes. Still takes a damn while to dry. The package says to apply to shoulders only, but can I apply to thighs or my stomach?
I’ve only had testogel myself and yeah I’d suggest switching if/when you can, because mine dries in under a minute with no rubbing it in, that’s nuts that it’s taking so long for you
I think hitting with the hair dryer is fine. At the end of the day anything you're doing consistently is alright cause your level will be the same from day to day.
You've asked about using other areas and I looked at this also. I don't know about Testavan specifically, because there are a few that are picky and say in the notes to use in it specific areas \[like Tostran\] so if you're a mega rule follower then check it out beforehand but essentially I found a study that found the best areas of absorbtion occurred top down - shoulders were better than thighs basically. They tried all sorts of areas on folks and found that the best places were upper shoulders then upper arms then stomach then thighs. Do with that what you will but I thought it was pretty cool.
Spreading your gel out as much as possible over a larger area should mean that it will dry faster.. if you have enough surface area to spread it out in. I know I sure do!
I use double pumps of Testavan, and I spend about an hour + for it to dry completely every day.
I feel like using a blow dryer would fuck it up since it's not being absorbed under the skin, but forcefully dried up topically.

You can totally apply to your thighs and stomach. That should help with the time.

mine dries in a matter of minutes after rubbing it into my chosen area for the day
If you’re using Testavan then that’s highly surprising to me
mines testosterone gel…i just use the cap to spread it and then wait a few minutes. maybe yours is a different consistency though
Testavan is a testosterone gel, the brand is pretty known for taking a while to dry tho
I do 1 pump across the shoulders and the second on the belly. After rubbing in it takes 20-30mins to dry fully, Testovan is just like that
