Patches for Dexcom G7 - 20

I don’t write reviews very often but wanted to for this product. I was pleasantly surprised. Extremely effective. Sticks really well and came off easier than expected for how well it stuck without leaving pieces of adhesive behind. No skin irritation either. I would definitely buy again. Bought it for my Stelo decomm (also bought on Amazon) after the over-patch that it originally came with started to lift and collect dirt and grime around the edges after 4 or 5 days. This fits perfectly around it. This is the one I will be using from now on.

I started using a Stelo glucose monitor a year ago, and found it to be very helpful in modifying my eating. However, I was very frustrated when replacing the sensor because of the original over patches, which are applied to secure the sensor. Those patches were hard to remove--even with adhesive remover; they often detached from the edge of the sensor, which made that hard to remove. Out of desperation I tried these over patches--and what a difference! They peels off easily, but do stick tight to the sensor so comes off with it. Now I can do a sensor change in about 4 minutes. A bonus--they are almost clear and less noticeable. I highly recommend these!!

I receive these last week but I had to wait until I got my new sensors. Update. 24 hours later I just wanted to let you know that these things stick so well to you you do not even know where they end and your skin begins. Nothing sticks up they are perfect after 24 hours. Amazing !!These products are fantastic. Take a look at the picture next 2. You can see the adhesive is that I was using prior. Now they were not specifically designed for this Dexcom so I had to use two of them. They were horrible. It will take me at least 4 or five times of going through these expensive Band-Aid type things to finally get them to go onto my body. Impossible to get tape off them. These are so easy to peel off and put on it it’s not even funny. They are not flimsy. So when you peel off of them it stands straight up so there’s no issues with it falling down and sticking to your hand or not being able to get off the tape that’s on it. Customer service is fantastic they sent me an email just to make sure that I knew what I was doing with putting them on. Even sent me a video. Each one comes individual image on little Ziploc type casing. Which to me is fantastic because the other stuff that I had came in a flimsy little cellophane that ripped apart soon as I open them up. No box no nothing. These are worth the money which is not that much because the product is fantastic. Sometimes when you get packaging that is this good the product inside doesn’t live up to the hype. These did!! This stuff is packaged beautifully and works beautifully. I will be ordering these whenever I need them. I highly recommend them

-first one tried worked great and had zero issues; lasted entire 15 days with no problems -second one had some issues, not staying on but ripping by the sensors pad and it would bubble up and tear on sides; next one did the same thing -but never came off, protects extremely well and still way better than what comes with the sensors -so easy to put on and get in place and really don't notice they are there at all -they get VERY itchy though to the point you want to rip it off sometimes, that is becoming a problem and only reason didn't give 5 stars. Could just be my skin perhaps though -overall they are excellent and should work extremely well for many -I leave them on until around 8-10 days then put the Dexcom shipped on on top to keep it from pulling away by the sensor as it has been and that works great so far -hate that the glue leaves that sticky colored spot but is what it is -definitely would recommend though take notice if they itch a lot might need to try another brand. Am only on my 4th one and 50% of the time the itching was bad but got through it

They work well but are a pain to get off. I tried adhesive remover but it will only work in little spots at a time. They stick well though. Made my 15 day sensor last the full 15 days

I have good luck with these. They don’t irritate my skin. They DO stick really well. The last sensor I removed had one of these on it. I will say that I was in a hurry when I put it on and didn’t trim my tummy before I applied the sensor and this over patch. Oh boy. That was painful to remove. Lol. But that’s a good thing. I do tech service for a company that makes adhesives/glues. So I should know better than to apply an adhesive patch (that can last for 10 days on human skin) over hair. I usually trim (and I’m not very hairy) before I apply these. And normally they peel off - taking a little effort, with no pain and no damage to the skin. But fair warning! They will pull hair that is longer than about 1/4 inch (5 or 6 mm). I’ve had no problem with them causing irritation. They stick well. They are easy to apply (they do include instructions - if you don’t read them and don’t get it right, that is YOUR problem. Don’t write a bad review because you don’t read.) I will continue to order these. Now, one thing I know from having done tech service in adhesives for 25 years is that not everyone reacts to things the same way. That is NOT the fault of the patch manufacturer. If your skin develops a rash when it comes into contact with this adhesive, that is unfortunate, but NOT anyone’s fault. It doesn’t mean this is a bad product. It just means it isn’t the right product for you. For all the people claiming it’s a poorly designed product, that’s like someone who is allergic to peanuts saying that peanuts are poison. No, they aren’t. That’s just the way things are. Sadly, no company can figure out what will work for every single person on the planet. They have to do the best they can to make a product that bonds well to most people’s skin, and doesn’t irritate or harm most people’s skin. If you aren’t “most people,” that is an unfortunate circumstance, but at the end of the day, it is YOUR problem and not anyone else’s. Don’t be so ego-centric to rant over what a “horrible” product it is and maybe keep someone (like myself) from being able to use these helpful over-patches. Just say they didn’t work for you, state why, and move on. But if you are like me, and probably 90% or more of the rest of the population, these are a great over-patch that does exactly what it claims it does.

My son & I both use these - we love them, and it's all we buy. He's rougher on his, but they typically last the full 10 days. I love that they're clear, and haven't had any issues with reaction on my skin from them.

I was skeptical at first but my new 3rd party provider doesn't give them like Dexcom direct does so I found these. I am on day 9 and I can honestly say these are much better! They conform around the transmitter better than Dexcom brand so water stays out which helps with adhesion. I have been working out a lot this week and following up with a second shower for the day because of it so normally the Dexcom one would be starting to come loose but this brand is still holding strong... It would probably go another 10 days if G6's allowed for it but instead I'll probably have to find my old adhesive remover. The only thing that was a bit difficult was figuring out how to put it on. I searched for the company's website and found a simple video and now the application is easier than Dexcom's version as well. I'll definitely be buying again! UPDATE Apparently these are only as good as where you wear them or how you place them. I used one on my arm and within a day it started peeling back. I was able to stop the peeling by cutting off that section and applying skin adhesive to seal it back down. Over the next few days the seal did hold but it started "bubbling" for lack of a better description. The outer tape was holding but the area over the Dexcom tape was bubbling up which started to pull everything up from the middle out. Ultimately the whole thing fell off 3 days before the sensor expired so I just lost a decent amount of money for a tape failure. Hopefully it was a fluke, but I'll continue to review if there are any other issues.
