Skin GripAdhesive Patches Compatible with Dexcom G7 & Stelo CGM – Waterproof & Sweatproof Cover for Continuous Glucose Monitor Sensor, Stays Secure for 10-15 Days – 20 Pack, Pastel Colors

I'm not sure why others have described challenges with these, they've been perfect for me. I use the Stelo CGM just for biohacking my body. The first week I had it, I only used the little adhesive ring that came with the CGM and it fell off within a week. The sensors are designed for 15 days continuous use. So I looked for alternatives and found these. I read some reviews that said it was tough to apply, but I've found it to be quite the opposite experience. Because you're applying the CGM typically to your tricep it's a bit of an advanced yoga pose to put these adhesive patches on, but once you get the hang of it, it's fine. Some have mentioned it's hard to remove the backing, I haven't found that to be the case. Some have stated that they don't last very long, again, not been my experience. What I've found works the best is once you've installed your CGM and made sure it's built in adhesive is stuck as well as can be, simply discard the little adhesive ring that it comes with. Take one of these Skin Grip patches out, remove the center piece of backing and two of the 4 outer backing pieces. Then Lift the remaining two 1/3 to 1/2 of the way off. Simply center the patch on your CGM, rub the center and the two fully exposed exterior ring pieces, then remove the backing from the other two exterior ring pieces and fully adhere the patch to your skin and the CGM. Easy peasy. These EASILY last the 15 days of my CGM and I'm pretty sure they'd go at least another week or two if the CGM would last that long. I haven't noticed any skin irritation. Also, I'm frequently in water for long periods of time, and these continue to be adhered through everything I've thrown at them. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these if you're looking for this type of product.

Picked these up right after I got my Dexcom G7 CGM. I first tried the ones that came with the sensor, but quickly found out that they suck. The OEM version didn’t protect the sensor and let it get wet, resulting in it crapping out within 24 hrs.But the Skingrip worked great. Keeping my sensor dry from showering, switching, rain, and just plain life. Only issue is the adhesive is really good. If you’re a bit hairy like I am, it’ll become apparent how good the glue is when you take it off to change the sensor. Little advice, shave around the area where you’re gonna put the new sensor. It’s covered, so no one will see the bald spot. Highly recommended.

I like that they cover the entire sensor and they adhere to my skin very well. They last for the entire 10 day life of the sensor. They are extremely thin however and wrinkle easily. They don't adhere to your skin until you take the top cover off and rub the patch down onto your skin which is when the wrinkles occur. Thicker patch would be very helpful.

These are almost too good! Super sticky and durable. I have a sensitivity to adhesive; a regular bandage takes my skin off when I remove it. These patches don't. I have a hard time with getting my glucose monitor to adhere to my skin in the sweaty summer months. They stay put and last the full 10 days that the monitor is on. I even recommended them to my daughter who has the same problems. She's thrilled that she bought them.

If I could give thos more stars I would. The colors are pretty and they stick to my skin very well. They last the full 10 days for my dexcom sensor. The first ones I have found, that doesn't break me out or make me itch. Worth every penny and I will definitely buy again.

I find these patches overall work fine, but after 2 days they ITCH!! I have used them over my G7 sensor, and my pump infusion set, and both drive me utterly crazy with the itching. Probably just a me problem but worth mentioning if anyone else has sensitive skin.As far as sticking, it does fine. Once it’s pulled up in the edge it started fraying some but only if it was messed with or picked at (because, well, itchy!). If I could leave it alone it didn’t fray.I liked that the backing came off in sections around the edge and had a separate circular section in the center so the adhesive wasn’t directly on my g7, which made changing the over patch midway through the 10 days much more doable.I never can wear these more than a day or two due to the itching, hence only three stars.

These are really good patches that work very well with my G7 constant glucose monitor. They last the total time I am using the monitor, and I am really rough with them. I haven't had any reaction with my skin, and I have very sensitive skin. I do use an adhesive remover spray to easily remove the patch. The colors are fun.

When your DEXCOM G7 overpatch doesn’t seem to be enough to keep your sensor secure, these patches do a very good job of protecting the sensor. My only complaint is it is difficult to remove the backing from that covers the adhesive back. Finding an edge to peel is the issue. Would seem simple to find a solution for this issue.
