I used 2 per night from about 36 weeks - I always found they fully dissolved. But wear a pad and expect a bit of oiliness. They are meant to help your cervix ripen to open (I think), so at 33 weeks you probably don't want to start ripening just yet.

I just started on Friday night. They definitely dissolve, but I did get a little surprise at the oily residue on the toilet water in the morning!I have been wearing a cloth pad to bed at night, it works better than a liner.

I think EPO acts like prostaglandins (the stuff in sperm and the stuff they make out of synthetic materials for inducing labour) which is why you are meant to wait until 36 weeks to start
Mine dissolved too - I only used them at night time though as I was going to bed and I knew I would by lying down. If you are upright then I would be worried they wouldn't dissolve and would just fall out again
