Dexcom G6 Adhesive Patch

We unfortunately have lost several sensors due to adhesive issues. My husband goes to the gym and is a frequent sauna user. These have done the trick and saved us lots of money in sensor replacements. Plus my toddler likes the prints/colors.

I love this brand. I use these for my diabetic needs. they are so easy to apply, they last just as long as I need if not longer. I am required to change my sites before the stickiness even starts to peel. The are the perfect size for my dexcom G6 and insulin pump site. These work great in all sorts of environments. I sweat with them, swim with them (I don't recommend swimming without some sort of extra protection around your sites, chlorine can be a huge B to sticky stuff.....) The price of these are great. I feel like they could have a monopoly on stickys and charge crazy 'medical' prices but they are soooo reasonably priced. Im obsessed and love the different design options these come in. Makes my diabetes a little more exciting to deal with. ;)

The Skin Grip adhesive patches for the Dexcom G6 are a must-have for anyone using a continuous glucose monitor. These patches are waterproof, sweatproof, and designed to stay securely in place for 10-14 days, even during workouts or swimming.What sets these patches apart is their comfortable fit. The medical-grade adhesive is strong yet gentle on sensitive skin, and the pastel color options are a fun and stylish touch. Pre-cut for convenience, the patches are easy to apply and provide reliable protection for your CGM sensor without peeling or irritation.Whether you’re managing diabetes or staying active with a CGM, these patches provide peace of mind. They ensure your sensor stays put while allowing you to live life to the fullest. A fantastic product that blends function and flair!

I use the insulin pump patches as well and they both have great adhesion. My only problem. Even after months of use, is how thin and floppy they are. Peel of one of the four adhesive covers and it may flop , stick to itself and leave a crease. So flexible you'll never get that crease out. However, even then they stick very well to skin. I've showered with them and they remain in place. Color really doesn't matter, the CGM and insulin pump are more noticeable than the patch itself. Not uncomfortable to wear as they stretch freely. Which is why they can be troublesome to put on.

I am very pleased with this patch. It breathes well (a lot better than the athletic tape I'd been using in the past) and once it warms up to your body, it moves with you. For the most part, I forget it's there.It's relatively easy to put on to. The plastic part that keeps it from sticking before you peel it off comes in four sections, which I think is very helpful. You can just peel off one or two sections at a time as you apply it, and once it's on, IT STAYS ON!It does fray a little bit around the outer edges after a few days, but it's always covering the adhesive part of my sensor.I personally don't have much trouble getting the patch off once it's time to change my sensor, but I would recommend having skin-safe adhesive remover on hand just in case, because, once again, THIS STAYS ON. The directions say to wait at least an hour after application before getting it wet (e.g. showering or swimming) and I think that helps tremendously when it comes to latching onto you like the facehugger from Aliens :D

I’ve tried other sensor patch covers and have had nothing but issues. Either they had uncomfortable paper areas that had to remain on to prevent them from sticking to the transmitter which ended up being itchy and uncomfortable or they gave me horrible rashes from their adhesives. Not this patch!I love them, they go in easy and the glue starts to fail right around the time I have to change my sensor anyway, so they are easy to peel off. The glue never bothers my skin. I’ve occasionally mis-applied them and had to peel them off and use a new patch but it’s never left a residue or pulled my sensor off like other patches.I’m sold! I won’t be trying any other brands, even if they have fun patterns. I’m happy with the multiple color options they offer.

Item is okay for what its supposed to do but some of the flaws are that it frays too easily and after using it it leaves a sticky residue that is a pain to remove. Feel like i could of made the patches myself with some cheap fabric and apply some sticky glue on it the same way. As seen in the product pictures it frays badly and best to have it in a place not easily seen as many other reviews have pointed out. That being said i am not very active as others and it easily frays is bad and annoying.

I have used them on my GCM's before however this time i'm using them as an additional patch over another medication patch. It was falling off and the prescription only gives you one adhesive cover to last all week, so I put the med patch on, then the adhesive one from the pharmacy over it, then plop this over the whole thing. It helps keep the edges down for the entire week no problem until I have to swap it out. Before i would worry about it falling off when I sleep but not anymore! And they stretch and don't pull off like normal patches.
