Skin Grip Adhesive Patches Compatible with Dexcom G7 & Stelo CGM – Waterproof & Sweatproof Cover for Continuous Glucose Monitor Sensor, Stays Secure for 10-15 Days – 20 Pack, Chocolate

I purchased a Stelo CGM device ( https://amzn.to/47mrIQB ) and because these popped up as add-ons, I decided to go ahead and get some of them, too... just in case! And Boy! SO GLAD I DID! The first night I had the device, as I pulled off my tee-shirt, the sleeve got stuck on the adhesive of the implant and almost ripped it out of my arm. Luckily, though, I caught it in time to apply THREE of these patches onto the sensor to ensure it stays in place for its fifteen-day life, and doesn't try coming off again. Maybe just ONE of the patches would suffice for some people in some situations, and maybe as I get more accustomed to how these things work, I'll be able to apply only ONE of these overpatches to hold the unit in place. But for now, I appreciated that there are so many in one package here, that I can go ahead and apply a TRIAD of PATCHES on each applicator... ensuring that it stays FIRMLY IN PLACE over time. EXCELLENT add-on product for any CGM device... And of course, there are other applications, too. (TENS unit patches, for instance, on an active body) and more... I appreciate the way these have FIVE different segments to pull off the adhesive from... and you can leave some ON (like the middle dot) or peal them all OFF for total coverage. But really cool, highly effective... nigh on ESSENTIAL add-on for any CGM!! I really like

Wonderfully flesh colored and hides well. It’s comfortable because of the elasticity and stickiness. It is VERY FUNCTIONAL and this product does not interfere with Blue Tooth capabilities. I wear it all 10-11 days without issue. I took the “waterproof “ test when I went swimming with it on. It lasted for me about 7 days and then began to roll and unstick after i went swimming with it. It’s waterproof as the product did protect Dex com 7 area.

I have been buying these for about a year now. I purchased these after receiving my Dexcom g7. The ones that come with the Dexcom do not work for me. I purchased these in hopes that they would do the job. The colors are vibrant, they are true to what you see in the photo. I have done the purple and the pastels. Using just the Skin grip, I can get about 4-5 days use. I choose to use these in conjunction with the Skin Tac wipes for extra adhesive. It’s those, these will stay in place for over 10 days. In this photo, I’m on day 7. They do get wrinkly once wet, but I find they don’t lift as long as I use these skin tac wipe. These are very nice quality. They are thicker and don’t typically cause me any irritation. I do find they fray very easily though.

I’ve been using these Skin Grip Adhesive Patches with my Dexcom G7 for over a year now, and they’ve completely changed the sensor game for me. Before these, I was lucky to get 5–6 days out of a sensor before the edges started lifting — especially after workouts, sweat, or just regular life. Since switching to these patches, my sensors stay snug and secure for the full wear time and beyond. The adhesive is strong but still gentle on the skin — I can shower, sweat, and move around all day without worrying about my G7 peeling up. They’re flexible and comfortable too; I barely notice them once they’re on, which is awesome. I’ve tried a bunch of different adhesive patches over the years, and nothing has kept my Dexcom G7 in place as consistently as these with their strong hold! For anyone with a G7 who’s tired of lifting edges and early sensor loss, these are absolutely worth it. 5 stars all the way. I love that they have multiple designs, as well. So I change up my patch game every time! The colors and patterns last the entire wear!

I've lost 3 Dexcom G7s to a series of unfortunatate events that included turning around too fast in a chair and catching the device on my seatbelt. Life goals, right? The overpatch provided by Dexcom gets the job done if you live in a bubble or exude a natural glue layer on your skin, but it doesn't stop small bumps and tugs from tearing the needle out of my skin. Enter Skin Grip, the next best solution to duct tape and a bit friendlier for skin. After using close to a full bag, my verdict is buy these if you need an overpatch that withstands regular physical activity, showers, mosquitos the size of house cats, and leather seats. Skin Grip is a lifesaver. FWIW, I wear the patch *and* overpatch from Dexcom. The Good: Skin Grip keeps the Dexcom G7 completely covered and attached for the duration of the sensor's life. It's protected me from my seat catching the sensor, running through airports, lugging a heavy backpack, and everyday activities without a blip. You can just live your normal life without fear of ripping out the expensive medical device in your arm. Signals between the phone and G7 seem completely unaffected by the patch or glue. The patch is water resistant and laughs in the face of a good scrubbing, kayaking, or weights. My preferred bandages are the pastels, and they keep their colour throughout wearing. The Mid: The edges on the overpatch fray pretty readily. By day 4, I'm seeing rough threads poking out. Expect more if you wear short sleeves, a bag that rubs against your arm, or any source of friction on the site where you wear your Dexcom. I would like more designs or colours, especially as camo *really* isn't my thing. Some vibrant seasonal shades would be much appreciated. The Bad: Skin Grip's adhesive is *strong*. So strong after 10-12 days, you need some baby oil, mineral oil, or possibly a jackhammer to remove it without tearing off the top layer of your skin. Applying Skin-Tac prior to the bandage works wonders! I've taken a pretty rough tear because of a patch that refused to come off. Lesson learned. Don't rip this baby fast, or you will hurt yourself.
