@sonodeka thank you very much for this information! This could be handy for someone if needed. I read a little more about this topic. Here is a link that provided a list of patches (not complete) that are matrix-based, and could be cut. They provided a link for consumers to double check also:

It looks like the common generic estradiol patches made by Mylan or Sandoz are matrix-based. The Brand Vivelle Dot (was popular) is not.

Hi mayblin! Thanks for doing the legwork on my post! That's a very helpful link. I was luckily able to get a quick prescription change when I needed to lower my estrogen dose before a long trip and was uncertain about cutting down my generic sandoz patch. I was new to my patch at the time, and could have saved some stress!
