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

I genuinely like these patches the colors look a lot darker in the photos, but in real life, they’re actually pretty light and pastel. (pastel pack) the adhesive is pretty good. I’ve had no problems with the Peeling around the edges but as someone who takes two showers a day with hot water, it tends to fray, but not as much to the point where it’s ugly looking or annoying. i’d recommend it to every diabetic out there it’s small and it’s not as big as the other stickers I’ve been putting on! and it’s one of those stickers that you have to peel all four sides which tends to get tedious, but it works well! hope all you guys dealing with this disease are doing well! we got this!❤️

Just use what Dexcom provides as these are subpar at best. I’ve tried them multiple times (I must be insane as I expect different results each time) and in less than 12 hours time the edges are peeling away. For context, I shaved the arm area where the sensor was inserted. I used several alcohol wipes to clean the area for maximum adhesion.i washed my hands to ensure that they were as clean as possible. I inserted the sensor. I followed the instructions provided by the manufacturer. This was at 9AM this morning. It’s now 5:50PM and the edges have separated from my skin. It’s not a small amount - in some places it is to the sticker of the sensor. This is my third attempt. I’m now donating these to my local trash heap. My rating: this is a product of the lowest quality. I’m going to stick with the patch that Dexcom provides as they tend to last me about 3-4 days before the edges begin to peel away. On top of that, just getting the patch in place is excruciating. The process is extremely complicated and may require several patches/tries to get it right. It’s frustrating and wasteful. Disappointment is a given. I was thinking that these would be as strong as IV patches but boy was I wrong. Immediately I went to Dexcom for more patches as while they may be revealing they are functional. If I were to make this product better, I’d likely copy the Dexcom design in terms of having a stronger backing on the top part to keep the adhesive patch in tact during placement. As it stands these somewhat bend in the center, exposing the flaws of its design. I’d also consider higher quality and medical grade adhesives that stick. I shouldn’t have to be double-jointed or require assistance to place the patch over my sensor. In my most elegant and careful of movements these tend to fold in the center. There is also an element of static electricity to them which can repel the placement even with surgical hands. This leads me to conclude that they likely weren’t made in a medical grade facility. Questionable so be warned. I’m all for supporting small business, but if the quality sucks I’m out. Besides scotch tape is much cheaper. However if you need some extra lift, the wings these create may help.

These are super cute, easy to use and have definitely helped keep my Dexcom on! I will say they do fray a bit and don’t look great when they do. However they definitely keep your device on and are pretty comfortable. My skin isn’t the biggest fan of adhesive but this one seems to be okay! Also for the record I live in Florida heat and humidity and am in and out of water often, and it still stays on!

Trash those adhesives that come with the sensor - those do not last and start to peel, as well as accumulate dirt (looking like an old bandaid!) and leave grime on your skin. Also very difficult to peel off during replacement. NOW, these Skin Grips are the ones! Breathes, does not leave residue on your skin, peels off easily - no mess no fuss! Easy on. Easy off! Looks clean too! Real durable and lasts like it should! For the price point, 20 pieces is real great! Pro tip: after a shower/bath - just get some paper towel or toilet paper and dab it over the adhesive to absorb the moisture retained. Yes it is water resistant - but you need to dry it off when it gets soaked during your shower/bath. Leaving it wet does not affect the adhesive nor the sensor. It just helps to keep it dry.

I use these with an under patch for my dexcom g7. They hold really well for the duration of the 10 days my sensor is on. A tip for getting them on and peeling back the adhesive backing off. Start 2 of the 4 backers by pulling a corner up. Then take the other 2 of the 4 off of the back, stick that on, and then peel the last 2 off.
