Adhesive Patches Compatible with Dexcom G7 & Stelo CGM Sensors | Waterproof & Sweatproof Cover for Continuous Glucose Monitor Sensor, Strong Hold, 15+ Days of Grip, 20 Pack, Rainbow Pack

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

I have used the precut skin grip patches and love those also but I got these because summer is starting and so I wanted to make sure I get the most stable adhesive patches that would make sure my dexcom wouldn’t fall off during long durations in the water. I am on day 11 with my dexcom and this patch and it hasn’t peeled at all, it hasn’t lost its stickiness under the patch and it doesn’t itch or anything! While wearing this patch and dexcom I have gone to a water park all day, had 2 other pool days and still going stron! I love this one more than my precut patches honestly, I do highly recommend making sure you have skin tac wipes which probably help how well it sticked to me. It has frailes a little but honestly not to the point where I feel like it’s noticeable. Worth the money, super easy to put on, and the seal is great. Game changer and worth it.

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.

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.

Saved me a ton of money with the Stelo and the Dexcom G7. (Also used the ones for the FreeStyle Libre Plus back when I used that device). They are more comfortable than the adhesive patches supplied by Dexcom, they last longer, and the beige ones blend into my skin color better. If you like color or holiday themes they have those as well. When putting them on I take off two of the white covers (on the adhesive) and significantly loosen the other two, while leaving the central circular white cover on. This makes it easier to place over the Stelo/Dexcom G7 and easier to replace if I need to. The only time I have had trouble is in the summer when I am working in the hot sun and sweating profusely or taking multiple showers in one day. The patches need to be dried by patting with a towel, and multiple repeated wettings in the same day tended to defeat the adhesive. I have hot tubbed and swam with these on, and provided they get a chance to dry out, they do great!

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.

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!

My daughter loves them. She covers her glucose meter and likes patterns and colors. These adhere well, are comfortable, look good, are easy to put on and remove.
