Skin Grip Universal Adhesive Patches for CGM and Insulin Pumps (20-Pack), 0.8-Inch Hole, Waterproof & Sweatproof for 10-14 Days, Pre-Cut Adhesive Tape, Continuous Glucose Monitor Protection, Black

I first heard about this over patch in a Type 1 Diabetics FB group. My son uses them to keep his Dexcom G7 from coming off. They generally last all 10 days that the Dexcom does. These over patches are easy to apply, soft, flexible, and peel off gentler than a bandaid. They also do not irritate his skin, and he has eczema. They are durable and waterproof. My son is a goalie on a competitive soccer team. He runs, dives for the ball, runs into players, gets pushed, and sweats a lot. During the summer he also jumps in the pool over and over and spends hours in the water. The skin grip patch stays on. Occasionally it'll start to peel up on one side, so we just gently remove the whole patch and apply another one. Definitely 5 stars and highly recommend.

We weren’t quite sure that this would work for my brother’s T-Slim X2 infusion set, but it stretches just enough to fit. The adhesive is perfect; it holds through his sweat and activities (even showers), but comes off fairly easily with rubbing alcohol and a bit of elbow grease. The design is as shown. They are a little pricey, but worth it. The material is similar to a thin canvas and will not rip or fray. To apply, we set up the infusion set, stop the insulin delivery and detach the tubing. Then we apply this patch around the infusion site, reattach the tubing, and resume insulin delivery.

These are fantastic. Before I started using these I had near constant issues with my FreeStyle Libre peeling off in my sleep or failing because the sensor wire worked it's way out of my skin. Now that I'm using them the sensor is much more secure and I don't have any sort of failures even though I roll around a lot in my sleep. Application is pretty easy; it's just a quick shower, dry, and then wipe the application spot with some rubbing alcohol before you apply the the sensor and the bandage to remove any excess oil to allow better bonding. I find if you skip the rubbing alcohol wipe it doesn't adhere nearly as well and if you're not careful it will peel off and your sensor will fail early as it's no longer secured well. Removal is a whole different deal though, if you are hairy like I am it's going to hurt something awful and there is no way around it. DO NOT just rip it off though you will take skin with it if you do. I would suggest working it off in the hot shower you're taking before applying the next sensor. I also use a deep clean shampoo on it but that's to make it let go of my body hair more easily and might not be necessary for you. Don't be surprised if it leaves a black residue on your skin that lasts like a week even with dedicated scrubbing. The residue should be gone by the time you switch back to that arm though.

I bought these for my Libre 1. Works fantastically, stays on for 14 days, and saved me from accidentally ripping off the sensors on more than one occasion. My wife was having issues with keeping her transdermal birth control patches on for a week. Since I had enough of these for a year I suggested she try them. They hold her patch on without issue as well. One note, this particular variant with the hole is a little too big for the Libre 3 sensors. I just changed over and will be buying these patches without the hole for my new sensors. Highly recommended overall.

Where have these been all my life? I am in the water a lot, and used to go through infusion sets like crazy because they would come off. This is the best product made for sealing that water out.
