How long does your rogaine foam bottle last for?

[Donny J]

Ever since stopping finasteride, i've been applying more rogaine each day (in particular, in my frontal area, where i hadn't applied much at all in the past). that said, my last bottle of foam only lasted ~18 days.

what's everyone else's experience? and along these same lines, what's the cheapest place to purchase rogaine foam these days? -- i typically just get it at walgreens and hope that it's on sale (the best i've seen has been ~$43 for a 3-pack).

liquid is better and you know exactly how much you will use because the ml volume is labeled on both the bottle and the dropper

been considering moving towards liquid, strictly because i have longer-ish (~3") hair, and i feel as though much of my foam is getting caught on my hair itself... i thought i recall reading that the liquid isn't as fast-drying though, no?

I forget how long foam takes to dry, but it definitely takes the liquid like an hour or two

that's enough to talk me right out of it... foam dries in 5 minutes. i'll stick with parting my hair to apply the foam (and knowingly losing some in the process).

This is a bit random but did you still have morning erections? I am 28 but I get that regularly and have a pretty high sex drive even through major depression/stress. I think losing morning erections would scare me to tbh even if I can still get it up with my gf.

I see you have gone down the topical route for DHT. RU is expensive right.

Since college, I never really seemed to get them on a very regular basis, so the answer is "only sometimes", but that was consistent with what I was used to even prior to starting finasteride. I'm 30 now, so I would have been 26 when I started taking it. Since being off of the drug, I've noticed an increase in libido (I'd say maybe 25%), but it was never overly-noticeable when I was on the drug and aside from the drop in my drive, I never experienced any sexual sides (thank God).

I just started RU this week, actually... for the past 4 months, I've been on nizoral/rogaine/s5 cream. Decided I needed something more powerful if I plan to maintain while being off finasteride. tbh, I'm kinda scared since there's so many unknowns with RU, but there's honestly not much of anything else out there for me to try right now. I didn't really like the idea of playing chemist in my kitchen, so I opted to purchased the pre-mixed stuff from anagen inc (see thread here: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interac...body-Tried-Anagen-Inc-s-Pre-Mixed-RU-Solution). With shipping, for a 50-day supply (50mL, 1mL/day) of 5% K&B solution, it was $92.10. I haven't done the math to determine how much more expensive this is than mixing myself (?).
