CGM Patches for Freestyle Libre (20-Pack), Waterproof & Sweatproof for 10-14 Days, Pre-Cut Adhesive Tape, Continuous Glucose Monitor Protection (Pastel Pack)

Beautiful colors, very tight glue. Exellent water and sweet resistant.

For a couple of months I had to use a Libre freestyle 3 to monitor my blood sugar as it dropped throughout the day. I often bump into things, so I was looking for a good product to ensure I get the most out of my sensor. These are perfect (when applied correctly)! Normally I would shave that area of my arm, shower, dry off, prep with alcohol, place the sensor, then put the skin grip on top, leaving the backing on the middle part just in case I have to swap out patches before the sensor expires. After 1 or 2 shower the edges would start to fray, but most of time they would stay on at least for 7 days, if not the full 14. The removal process is pretty simple, especially if you leave the backing on the middle piece, as it doesn’t get stuck to the sensor. Not only is the product worth the money, but it also makes the Libre 3 freestyle worth the money since I’m able to keep it on the full 14 days.

I started with the CGM system Freestyle about a year ago now. When I first started wearing it, I bumped my arm so many times and I admit, I knocked the darn sensor off at least 3 times. I don't know if you've had the pleasure of calling Freestyle to get a replacement sensor but it's work. They ask a million questions - it's a good 30 minute phone call. And if you are out of refills, you have to wait for the new sensor to be sent...going back to the old fashioned finger pokes in the mean time. No fun. I saw several different styles of covers and bought a few styles but there are by far the best. While it says they will last the life of the sensor - 2 weeks - I find I can get about a week out of one cover. I love the variety of colors you can get as well. Pastels and bright colors are my favorites. And I always pick the full covers. The one with the hole in the middle - absolutely not. They don't protect I highly recommend it. And bonus, they are FSA eligible!

I love these things. I’ve been getting this brand for quite awhile. The selection is great and they are the only brand that I’ve found that stay attached. Even after 15 days of showers, workouts, pool and beach tine, they stay on. I highly recommended these if you’re looking for a cover for your CGM.

They aren’t too easy to put on by yourself. They stick very well, I really have to rip them off after the 14 days are up and I need to change my CGM. The edges do get pretty rough after the first week. But I’d expect that out of any bandaid. I personally like the look of my CGM so I cut the center out to put it around my sensor, still has a great hold. When I wear the full bandage it doesn’t affect the scan at all. With it being cut the way I do, I’ve noticed I have to change it at least 2 times during the use of my CGM. But not upset about it because that’s not what they were made for.
