G7 Adhesive Patches Waterproof 20Pack G7 Overpatch Flexible CGM Tape Non-Glue Central Full Cover Hypoallergenic & Latex-Free Stelo Patch Overlay for 10-15 Days Long Stay, Multi-Colored

this is so much easier to remove than the "second skin" versions we get with my wifes Dexcom diabetic device monitor. they stick like crazy glue on her. they function as prescribed!, the design is a perfect in size for the Dexcom or other monitoring devices and the ease of putting it over the device and its removal was phenomenal! she enjoyed the removal part as well no pain in getting it off her skin whatsoever versus the previous mentioned second skin tape. it was a perfect purchase for her and her needs. she cannot sing its praises high enough

I never take the time to review items, but this one really deserved it! I had three sensors fall off using just the patches that came with the device itself, and also found out while trying to keep them in that I’m allergic to medical tape, which made me very hesitant to buy a “stronger” patch for fear the adhesive would be harsher.Nope! These are SO gentle on the skin, and they could not work better. I’m on day 10 of the first one, and not even a single area has peeled up. It’s as secure as the day I placed it. I’ve worked out and showered as usual with no change. It hasn’t inhibited the sensor from communicating with my phone at all. I wish I would have spent the tiny amount of money on this product before wasting four perfectly good (and very expensive) sensors!

Cheaply made. Didn't even last through a shower. First one didn't last through the shower. Second one seems to be lasting

I bought a package of these and absolutely loved them. I even recommended them to my brother because the adhesive stuck well and I didn't react to it. There are few adhesives I can use. But something happened between buying my first package of 20 and the second package of 20. The adhesive fails starting about the 3rd day now and comes off by day 4. I need these to last 10 days like the first package.

The instructions are worthless.Before installing the sensor, to exfoliate the skin under the sensor and to ensure adhesion good enough for frequent lap swimming, I wash and scrub my skin with a washcloth, soap, and water.If you have sensitive skin, use a technique that works for you.I use lava soap. It might be relegated to the automotive department or order it with this order.I also include a scrub with 2% peroxide on a paper towel. Peroxide kills only those bacteria that contain catalase enzyme (the enzyme converts peroxide to oxygen gas and pops the bacterium), but it may help remove more dead skin.Then wet a paper towel with rubbing alcohol and scrub. Let it dry. 70% kills bacteria better than 90% but either works. With the loose dead skin removed, the sensor and patch will not come off until you want it to.After it expires, if I have trouble removing it, I sometimes use "goo (be)gone" water based adhesive dissolver, which I believe is harmless. This is not the similarly named "goof off," which is not safe for skin contact and probably wouldn't work anyway.Install the sensor in a place under your upper arm that both avoids muscle and lets you see it. If you can't see it, get someone to help. Alternate arms. If you haven't removed the old sensor, mark it with a sharpie.To achieve a smooth application of the patch, fold the patch in half across the two small edge papers. Remove one of the larger pieces leaving the exposed adhesive away from your skin. Place the unglued center cloth over the sensor and slide it around until no adhesive is going to touch the sensor. Then unroll the exposed side onto your skin. Next, partly remove the other large paper and fold so you'll be able to pull it out. Remove one side paper and smooth it down. Remove the last two papers in a way that works for you. It helps to fold tabs you can grab.Note that the sensor doesn't have to be kept dry except to keep it attached. Also, it doesn't need access to air. The hole in the top of the sensor is used during application for the needle that guides the thin sensor wire through skin. The holes around the side allow water to drain out, but with this waterproof patch, they aren't needed.

They are great. This is not the first time I've used them for my D7.

These do not stick like advertised. So far I’ve only been able to get it to stay completely stuck for about 3 days before I have to replace it. I’ve gone through many patches. Thankfully I only have gestational diabetes so I was never going to need the whole pack anyway, but still it’s rather frustrating to keep having to replace the sticker every so many days. I’ve read the instructions thoroughly so I know I am doing the procedure correctly. But alas, it never fails the sides start to roll up after a few days and showers. If I needed these long term I definitely would seek out a different brand.

Difficult to put on and always bunches up. It’s probably a technique issue and not a product issue. They do exactly what they say, just difficult to use.
