Skin Grip Adhesive Patches Compatible with Dexcom G7 & Stelo CGM with Cutout – Waterproof & Sweatproof Cover for Continuous Glucose Monitor Sensor, Stays Secure for 10-15 Days – 20 Pack, Clear

I have a Dexcom G7, and sure, it comes with overpatches, but these are 100x better at staying on. And let's be honest, they are great colors that make wearing a medical device just a lot more fun and customizable. They look great, don't show wear like the Dexcom patches, cover up any stains (blood if you occasionally get a little from the insertion), and are super easy to put on. Did I mention that it makes the whole process more fun? Imagine putting on your device and then deciding what color you want for that session? They also come in other packs that can add even more fun, should you want to - for instance, I am a tiger this week. :) **NOTE** If you have oily skin or have a hard time getting adhesive to stick, get the Skin Grip adhesive wipes as well; they work wonders!

Just use what Dexcom provides as these are subpar at best. I’ve tried them multiple times (I must be insane as I expect different results each time) and in less than 12 hours time the edges are peeling away. For context, I shaved the arm area where the sensor was inserted. I used several alcohol wipes to clean the area for maximum adhesion.i washed my hands to ensure that they were as clean as possible. I inserted the sensor. I followed the instructions provided by the manufacturer. This was at 9AM this morning. It’s now 5:50PM and the edges have separated from my skin. It’s not a small amount - in some places it is to the sticker of the sensor. This is my third attempt. I’m now donating these to my local trash heap. My rating: this is a product of the lowest quality. I’m going to stick with the patch that Dexcom provides as they tend to last me about 3-4 days before the edges begin to peel away. On top of that, just getting the patch in place is excruciating. The process is extremely complicated and may require several patches/tries to get it right. It’s frustrating and wasteful. Disappointment is a given. I was thinking that these would be as strong as IV patches but boy was I wrong. Immediately I went to Dexcom for more patches as while they may be revealing they are functional. If I were to make this product better, I’d likely copy the Dexcom design in terms of having a stronger backing on the top part to keep the adhesive patch in tact during placement. As it stands these somewhat bend in the center, exposing the flaws of its design. I’d also consider higher quality and medical grade adhesives that stick. I shouldn’t have to be double-jointed or require assistance to place the patch over my sensor. In my most elegant and careful of movements these tend to fold in the center. There is also an element of static electricity to them which can repel the placement even with surgical hands. This leads me to conclude that they likely weren’t made in a medical grade facility. Questionable so be warned. I’m all for supporting small business, but if the quality sucks I’m out. Besides scotch tape is much cheaper. However if you need some extra lift, the wings these create may help.

I genuinely like these patches the colors look a lot darker in the photos, but in real life, they’re actually pretty light and pastel. (pastel pack) the adhesive is pretty good. I’ve had no problems with the Peeling around the edges but as someone who takes two showers a day with hot water, it tends to fray, but not as much to the point where it’s ugly looking or annoying. i’d recommend it to every diabetic out there it’s small and it’s not as big as the other stickers I’ve been putting on! and it’s one of those stickers that you have to peel all four sides which tends to get tedious, but it works well! hope all you guys dealing with this disease are doing well! we got this!❤️

Have purchased these 3 times. They adhere well. The only issue I've had is that the 2nd batch I had some difficulty pulling off the green outer tab, in that it broke trying to peel it off (often in several small bits). I would then have to pick at it several times to remove it. The rest of the outer seal came off easily. No issues with the 1st and 3rd package.

I’ve used other patches from this company that the patches were larger than the ones provided by the manufacturer. These ones are almost the same size! I found using an alcohol prep pad and then skin tack and the manufacturer over patch and then this overlapped so the edges went over the edges of the manufacturers over patches has helped our Dexcom stay on the best!
