Skin Grip Patches Compatible with Dexcom G7 and Stelo CGM - Waterproof and Sweat-resistant Case for Continuous Glucose Monitor, Holds Safe for 10-15 Hours

I'm not sure why others have described challenges with these, they've been perfect for me. I use the Stelo CGM just for biohacking my body. The first week I had it, I only used the little adhesive ring that came with the CGM and it fell off within a week. The sensors are designed for 15 days continuous use. So I looked for alternatives and found these. I read some reviews that said it was tough to apply, but I've found it to be quite the opposite experience. Because you're applying the CGM typically to your tricep it's a bit of an advanced yoga pose to put these adhesive patches on, but once you get the hang of it, it's fine. Some have mentioned it's hard to remove the backing, I haven't found that to be the case. Some have stated that they don't last very long, again, not been my experience. What I've found works the best is once you've installed your CGM and made sure it's built in adhesive is stuck as well as can be, simply discard the little adhesive ring that it comes with. Take one of these Skin Grip patches out, remove the center piece of backing and two of the 4 outer backing pieces. Then Lift the remaining two 1/3 to 1/2 of the way off. Simply center the patch on your CGM, rub the center and the two fully exposed exterior ring pieces, then remove the backing from the other two exterior ring pieces and fully adhere the patch to your skin and the CGM. Easy peasy. These EASILY last the 15 days of my CGM and I'm pretty sure they'd go at least another week or two if the CGM would last that long. I haven't noticed any skin irritation. Also, I'm frequently in water for long periods of time, and these continue to be adhered through everything I've thrown at them. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these if you're looking for this type of product.

These are an almost perfect solution for an overpatch for dexcom sensors or similar. They remain on for the entire 15 days with no irritation. These are definitely worth it. The only real issue i've had is removing the tabs to expose the adhesive.

I use these patches over my Dexcom G7 sensor, and they've solved the peeling edges I kept fighting with. They go on easily, and the tan color blends in with my skin instead of standing out like some of the bright overpatches. They've held up through showers, sweaty workouts, and swimming, and the edges stayed down. Even after several days, the sensor was still firmly in place with no lifting or catching on clothing. Removal was fairly gentle, and I didn't have any irritation, though everyone's skin is different. The 20 pack is a good value, and the patches are easy to line up over the sensor. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants extra security for a CGM, especially if you're active or live somewhere hot and humid. Pros: Strong hold, waterproof and sweatproof, skin-tone color, easy to apply, good value for 20 Cons: Sensitive skin may want to test one patch first.

Solid products. Once you put it on, it won't come off. You could take a shower, work out, and do heavy sweating work outside. It won't come off. It works so well, be careful when you take it off. The first couple times, I didn't know, so I pulled at it and kind of ripped my skin. That's how strong this is. I love it.

YES, these patches are a pain in the $&#% to put on by YOURSELF….HERES THE TIP-before you’re ready to place it on your arm, take off the middle sticker and then sharply fold back each of the other four flaps around the perimeter (SEE PICTURE). They’re almost impossible to start once they’re on your arm because your fingers stick to anything that you’ve exposed already. The tabs make it easy for you to grab them one at a time and press them carefully into place Otherwise, they’re doing a good job of keeping my monitor in place for the couple of weeks needed. I exercise daily and sweat a lot as I exercise outside and so far so good with three cycles of these. Before using these, I had severe trouble keeping my monitors in place/connected. Not perfect, but I’m giving it a five with the installation instruction modification!!
