Works well, but is small & still leads to wrinkles and other things making it different from other
I used to use the Fixic patches, but after 8 months they would easily stop losing adhesion and start forming wrinkles -- to the point that it would catch and drag my sensor off!So I decided to try these out....First noticeable difference (as an improvement or not), this patch is VERY small; a whole lot smaller than the Fixic. The reason being that even though the product picture shows a intended space for the sensor, the Fixic 's space's purpose is so no adhesive goes on the sensor itself; this is not the case for this patch. Adhesive goes under all of the patch, so if it gets loose or you need to remove it, count on your sensor coming off as well! At first, my wife that applies the patch was convinced it doesn't fit because it seemed so small.It seems to stick better than the Fixic, at first. I was rather convinced about it that I would've bet that it would stick better than the Fixic in the long run and never wrinkle up. I was wrong, in about 5-ish days, wrinkles started to form. I became paranoid because, unlike the Fixic, once this patch catches on a sleeve or something, it will definitely pull the whole sensor off; as opposed to the chance that the Fixic coming off but because it doesn't adhere to the sensor directly. I was forced to resort on applying another patch over the wrinkled portion.UPDATEI am pleasantly surprised how well these worked out!I was very concerned about how the patch sticks directly onto the sensor (other patches stick around the sensor, not on it; in case you need to replace the patch), but it seems after 5 or 6 patches, it seems to not have been an issue.It was concerning when, after a couple of days, the patch (while it started out all edges sticking very firmly onto the skin) started to slowly peel off and show wrinkles. But what set this product apart is that although it may not have 100% all edges stuck on, the wrinkled up edges did not catch or pull off the patch (& sensor itself)! It goes to show how firmly stuck the patch attaches to the skin! Other patches, once beginning to wrinkle, catch on to clothes and what not and whether or not there's adhesive on the sensor section or not, it will move itself and remove the sensor with it! This product will not have that happen!

Welcomed change
I used these censor covers for the Libre when the Libre was bigger. The old covers had adhesive that made me itch but I still wore them because the cover was good and lasted for days. Seems like the new smaller sensor covers are just as adhesive and strong but, the adhesive formula has changed and my arm is no longer itchy. The picture is from day 10, I only took it off to change the color! Still a great product and your censored won’t come out like other similar products.

Helps Protect Your CGM
If you are active, this seems a must for wearers of Continuous Glucose Monitors. I have reasonably sensitive skin and it does not cause irritation during the 14 day course of each of my sensors. It helps the sensor stay secure and helps prevent snagging. Does not interfere with sensor function. Highly recommended.

Imperfect but better than alternatives I tried
The patches I used before (different brand) permanently damaged my skin. If you look at the back of my right arm, you can see the outline of where that adhesive was applied.These patches are better than that, but they are imperfect. They will keep the CGM sensor stuck to my arm for the full 2 weeks, but the patches absolutely start unsticking at the edges way before then and leave a gross looking black bandage residue on my arms. Classy. (See Photo - That's Day 10 out of 14). They also are difficult to pull off without additional products. I've found some success in soaking the entire patch in rubbing alcohol, waiting a couple of minutes, and then using adhesive remover wipes to rub the edges of where it's still attached and slowly peeling the patch away. It still hurts, but my skin is mostly intact after I pull the patch off.I also do ignore the instructions for how to place the bandage. I simply cannot, on my own, easily peel the remaining backing pieces off. The entire patch is made of the same adhesive material, unlike other patches that have a circle in the middle the size of your sensor that doesn't have adhesive. So I learned pretty quickly to just ignore the instructions, peel the entire backing off, and then place the bandage as centered as possible. It hasn't worked any differently than when I spent the time struggling to peel the backing off while half the bandage was already stuck to the back of my arm.I will keep using these because they aren't the worst product on the market and I don't want to risk permanent damage to my skin, but I can't wholeheartedly endorse them either. At least I am not losing my expensive monitors from minor touches anymore.

Good Grip
Definitely stayed on my skin no problems while showering. Has not started to peel or roll up, I have had it on now for nine days. Fits the Libre 3 sensor. I like the choice of colors . Only thing is it is smaller of a circle and may be easier to put on if someone is helping you.

Adheres well
I like that it is small and fits the Libre 3 sensors perfectly. Lasts for the full 14 days. Easy to apply.

The worst patches Ive ever tried for my CGM
Everything about these patches annoyed me. First of all its a premium price and the quality does not correspond to the price. First of all they are too small for Libre CGM, they barely cover the sides. It didnt peal much, however, it looks terrible in a few days, and its really hard to change it without ripping out the monitor all together because there is an adhesive in the center. Big disappointment.
