– Omnipod Adhesive Patch with Strap (25-Pack) – Waterproof Adhesive, CGM Tape (Blue)

So, I have severe ADHD among other things that can make me forgetful. This most recent pod change I had apparently forgotten to take the covers off the sticky side of my omnipod before placing it. Note: I place the over-patch on the pod before putting the pod on my skin. For the full 48hrs I am prescribed to use a pod, this over-patch With no help from the pod adhesive, while I was deeply active and moving house in the summer heat Kept my pod not only in place, but WORKING PERFECTLY not a leak nothing. I've got an irritation bump the size of a large spider bite, and the spot is itchy as all hell, but that is most definitely user error on my part. I doubt it would work this way on every placement, but in this instance it absolutely save my rear!

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 just this past summer and we've been doing the rounds of patches and adhesive helpers, goo removers trying to find what works for her. She's a varsity volleyball player and has practice and/or a game almost every day, so adhesion quality and durability are the most important factors for her. She's had Omnipods yanked off, fallen off, and insurance is not so willing to replace them because of sports or accidents. With these patches, she's finally been able to go the full 3 days with the Omnipod in place, with no errors, and her trainers do not have to do extra wrapping with sports tape during the games anymore. She does use a band-like cover just to keep it stable with all the jumping and diving but these have worked great. She says they hurt a little coming off because the adhesive is so strong, but she prefers that to those that sweat off or don't support the weight of the Omnipod at all. She also suggests being prepared to use an extra or two while you're learning how to put them on. She doesn't cut the band across the middle, she sticks the band on first and stretches the rest of the patch around the Omnipod. She also uses a silicon pod cover that she says helps it feel secure. Anyway, great product, she recommends 100 percent after all the trials and tribulations! Her only wish? That they came in a black option. We can't find that option anywhere.

They work well, but adhesive is irritating my skin.

It is very hot and humid in Mississippi during the summer. These adhesive patches keep my Omnipod insulin pump attached to me through sweat, rain and water. They aren't too bad to remove and seem to find the balance of keeping my pod attached and not damaging my skin. They do pull hair but this can't be avoided.

Perfect for my Omnipod. The pod itself falls off my skin. This is my added security to hold it for the full 3 days. I have gone through many purchases of different brands and this is my favorite and easy to put on.

I like the color and hold of these- when I can get them to stick correctly. I typically use back of the arm sites and these are terrible for that. I don’t know if having the ones with no strap would make it easier, but I figured the strap would help during the summer to stay on. 2 out of the 3 pods I’ve put on so far have had major creases in the sticker due to it folding on itself no matter how I apply it. Even using the directions, it still always sticks to itself because it’s so difficult to do with one hand. They’re single use so I don’t want to have to peel it off and waste another one to try and redo it so I typically on the second day use tegaderm over the sim patch when the edges inevitably peel up. Next time I’ll probably go without the strap in the middle.

I love the adhesion and these are the only overlays that work for my son (4 y/o) who is super active. My only complaint is I wish there were more colors! He loves to choose his color, but there are only 3 colors listed and no multipack. It is hard to find overlays that have an adhesive strap and the ones that do not have it raises the edges of the pod on his tiny arms and end up ripping off or require tape/coband to keep on. I did find that inserting the pod first and then applying the overlay did not go well and was hard to do. But I found that putting the overlay on the pod during the set up process helped a lot especially since he fights me. Perfect every time! Love the center perforated lines on the strap for set up the way we do it. Centers perfectly without folding over and it is easy to adjust on the pod. No need for stretching when removing the outer adhesive paper either. He has super sensitive skin (allergies and eczema) and breaks out with almost every overlay/device adhesive even with remover, but with the remover and this adhesive, he does not break out or does not break out as bad. Above all else, the price vs how many come in the pack and quality of this product is actually reasonable. Literally my only complaint is lack of colors especially for children who like to express themselves and feel like they have a say during this process.

The best omnipod patch I have bought. It stays in place and comes off easily. It lasts the entire 3 days.

Good quality

Kesinlikle tutuş özelliği muhteşem

This works well for extended time in water swimming, etc. I applied Skin Prep, Pod, then SIMPATCH. Pod was applied to back of upper arm so I also covered patch with a Lycra like armband by DIABAND. Very pleased.

Très bon service

This is the patch we use to be sure that my athletic teenaged son's Omnipod stays on throughout soccer, basketball, water sports, and any other rigorous activity. We've used lots of other patches but this is the only one we've found with the cross bar. Without the cross bar, my son's pod will pop up in the middle so that the cannula comes out even though the adhesive remains in place. I would give it 5/5 except for the excessive price for what is essentially a bandaid. In short: great product that works well, but vastly overpriced for what it is.
