Skin Grip Adhesive Patches Compatible with Dexcom G7 & Stelo CGM Sensors

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.

I use these for my Libre 3 plus sensor. They are strong and stay on for the full 15 days. I can move my arm and they stretch without feeling tight. I don't care for how many different pieces you have to pull off to get access to the sticky back as it makes it more tedious to put on. That said, it is strong, water resistant, and I think it's cuter than other options. Well worth the price!

These are an almost perfect solution for an overpatch for dexcom sensors or similar. They remain on for the entire 15 days with no irritation. These are definitely worth it. The only real issue i've had is removing the tabs to expose the adhesive.

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.

I've lost 3 Dexcom G7s to a series of unfortunatate events that included turning around too fast in a chair and catching the device on my seatbelt. Life goals, right? The overpatch provided by Dexcom gets the job done if you live in a bubble or exude a natural glue layer on your skin, but it doesn't stop small bumps and tugs from tearing the needle out of my skin. Enter Skin Grip, the next best solution to duct tape and a bit friendlier for skin. After using close to a full bag, my verdict is buy these if you need an overpatch that withstands regular physical activity, showers, mosquitos the size of house cats, and leather seats. Skin Grip is a lifesaver. FWIW, I wear the patch *and* overpatch from Dexcom. The Good: Skin Grip keeps the Dexcom G7 completely covered and attached for the duration of the sensor's life. It's protected me from my seat catching the sensor, running through airports, lugging a heavy backpack, and everyday activities without a blip. You can just live your normal life without fear of ripping out the expensive medical device in your arm. Signals between the phone and G7 seem completely unaffected by the patch or glue. The patch is water resistant and laughs in the face of a good scrubbing, kayaking, or weights. My preferred bandages are the pastels, and they keep their colour throughout wearing. The Mid: The edges on the overpatch fray pretty readily. By day 4, I'm seeing rough threads poking out. Expect more if you wear short sleeves, a bag that rubs against your arm, or any source of friction on the site where you wear your Dexcom. I would like more designs or colours, especially as camo *really* isn't my thing. Some vibrant seasonal shades would be much appreciated. The Bad: Skin Grip's adhesive is *strong*. So strong after 10-12 days, you need some baby oil, mineral oil, or possibly a jackhammer to remove it without tearing off the top layer of your skin. Applying Skin-Tac prior to the bandage works wonders! I've taken a pretty rough tear because of a patch that refused to come off. Lesson learned. Don't rip this baby fast, or you will hurt yourself.

They are not “15 days of grip” like they claim. More like 6 to 8 days so expect to use 2 per CGM cycle. They held up underwater while diving. They do come off fairly easily, although I do use an adhesive removing wipe to reduce the skin irritation.

I rarely write reviews, but this product earned one. I recently started a Stelo glucose monitoring subscription as part of a renewed focus on my health. I live in South Florida and walk outside twice a day in 90+ degree heat, which means heavy sweating — and my first Stelo sensor peeled off after just two days. Stelo replaced the device, and before applying the new one, I picked up these patches. All I can say is: WOW. These things can take a beating. Through daily walks, constant humidity, and buckets of sweat, the patch hasn't budged, and my Stelo is safe and sound underneath. A little pricey, but worth every penny. If you live in a hot climate or sweat through your sensors, don't hesitate.

The patch lasts the full two weeks. It’s worn but survived work outs and gardening. It’s not easy to apply. The stickiness is there but so much so that it’s hard to apply without the patch getting stuck to your finger, itself, etc. Is there a trick for getting it to lay down without a crease? I have never been able to get the patch to smoothly rest on my arm. And that crease is always where it begins to fray or peel. I’m definitely going to try the patches from another vendor that I see on site now that have “wings” and makes removing the backing easier. I do appreciate different skin tones though. That’s worth the four stars!
