Skin Grip Adhesive Patches for Dexcom G7 CGM (20-Pack), Waterproof & Sweatproof for 10-14 Days, Pre-Cut Adhesive Tape, Continuous Glucose Monitor Protection (Tan)

I purchased a Stelo CGM device ( https://amzn.to/47mrIQB ) and because these popped up as add-ons, I decided to go ahead and get some of them, too... just in case! And Boy! SO GLAD I DID! The first night I had the device, as I pulled off my tee-shirt, the sleeve got stuck on the adhesive of the implant and almost ripped it out of my arm. Luckily, though, I caught it in time to apply THREE of these patches onto the sensor to ensure it stays in place for its fifteen-day life, and doesn't try coming off again. Maybe just ONE of the patches would suffice for some people in some situations, and maybe as I get more accustomed to how these things work, I'll be able to apply only ONE of these overpatches to hold the unit in place. But for now, I appreciated that there are so many in one package here, that I can go ahead and apply a TRIAD of PATCHES on each applicator... ensuring that it stays FIRMLY IN PLACE over time. EXCELLENT add-on product for any CGM device... And of course, there are other applications, too. (TENS unit patches, for instance, on an active body) and more... I appreciate the way these have FIVE different segments to pull off the adhesive from... and you can leave some ON (like the middle dot) or peal them all OFF for total coverage. But really cool, highly effective... nigh on ESSENTIAL add-on for any CGM!! I really like

The adhesive that comes with the Dexcom G7 is not very good. If you actually want your sensor to stay in place, these patches are a great alternative. I haven’t tried other brands, but I don’t feel the need to. These work extremely well. They stay in place and do not come off due to sweat, which has been a big improvement compared to the standard G7 tape. So far, they’ve held up exactly as expected. I haven’t tested them while swimming yet, but based on how well they handle sweat and daily wear, I’m very satisfied. If anything changes after swimming, I will update my review. If you are struggling with the Dexcom G7 adhesive not holding, these patches are a simple and effective solution. They provide a much stronger hold and make wearing the sensor worry-free.

I have used several different patches and these are by far the best. You get a solid cover area which keeps the Dexcom more waterproof. The size is much better than others, these are not too big, but they cover what is needed. I am on my first one but it seems that it is very durable. These cost a little more that others I have used, but they may last longer and change Dexcom less. Like the camo also!

After wearing my Dexcom G7 for the 15 days. Super easy to apply with the different tabs. It feels really flexible once it is placed in the arm as well. Fit well around the CGM. It about the size of the bottom of a 20oz bottle of Pepsi. (Only thing I had near by to measure) Daily showers and working out 3 days every week. The edges came up, but it was still stuck on there pretty good when I took it off. I even forgot a few times and dragged my hand over it. It does start to look like a wet bandaid, but it does dry fast. It feels like the good quality bandaids. Only thing is I wish they had more cute designs.

They work well to cover my Dexcom G7 (15 days) but after a few days start to fray in several places, and pull back a little so adhesive marks show. A few days after that it started itching. Now on top of $25 for the skin grips I’m spending about $10 for a skin barrier. I don’t usually have reactions to adhesives but I sure do with these.
