G7 Adhesive Patches Waterproof for Dexcom G7 and Freestyle Libre 25 Pack Over Patches No Glue in The Center

My hubby wears the Freestyle Libre 2 sensors and these covers are a lifesaver. Without them, the sensors can be dislodged if they get knocked against a door jamb or other surface...he even lost one in bed when he rolled over.These covers prevent the sensors from falling off, and the adhesive lasts the whole 2 weeks and don't cause any skin reactions.

They can be a bit of a challenge to apply yourself, best done with help. There are two pieces to peel off the base, which gets you a very sticky surface. You need to remove the larger piece before anything else, then the smaller, then place it over your sensor. Be sure to break the serrations on the other side before placing it. Once it's stuck in place, you can get a fingernail under the place you broke the serrations before, and that allows peeling off the top surface. Did I mention this is a lot easier for someone else to do? :)

It’s quite a large sensor patch in comparison to the one that comes with the G7. Too much space between it and the sensor. It’ll stick on and around but I’m not sure it would really keep a tight seal to be fully waterproof

I got these for my husband and let me tell you one patch lasted the entire 14 days he needs to wear his monitor. I had purchased another brand and it started peeling on the edges after five days. This has great adhesion yet easy to remove when needed. I will definitely be ordering more.

First, the bad:1. The packaging is less than stellar. The patches are packed tightly into an envelope that doesn't open far enough, and several patches are stuck together.2. There are NO instructions on what to peel, so we ruined one by peeling the wrong side.3. The backing is cut weird, so that the sticky side has FOUR pieces of backing to remove, and then the outside has two.Now the good:1. Very much like Tegaderm in feel and thickness. Stretched over the sensor perfectly.2. No adhesive in generous center so no worries about accidentally pulling out your monitor if you need to change the patch.3. No water got in during showers, and after 6 days with one patch there was no sign of peeling.4. Thin and very flexible. Not noticeable at all. Didn't catch on clothing or pick up lint at all.5. Adheres SO well that getting an edge to remove it was difficult! It peels right off when pulled, didn't catch/pull the senor. No irritation, no left over adhesive. Patch came of as single piece without tearing.It's not exactly easy aligning and placing this patch/cover on the back of the arm, so depending on your flexibility, having someone that can help will ensure it's smooth, without creases, and centered. Same goes for removal. It can definitely be done solo, but if you DO have a helper, it's that much easier!I would definitely recommend this over the more canvas like patches.

I'm new to wearing one of these sensors and definitely see that additional coverage is needed during the normal wearing time. These patches fully cover the sensor and helped it stay in place for the 10 days. I will say that there is a learning curve to applying these, as it's easy to touch the adhesive surface and/or get wrinkles while applying. But even though that was the case for me, it stayed in place.It was fairly easy to remove and did not cause any skin irritation...and I have very sensitive skin. It did leave behind some of the adhesive on one side, but it was minimal. I would recommend these as additional coverage for glucose sensors.

I used this for my father's Dexcom G7 sensor. The patches that come with the G7 have a hole in the middle that you center over the sensor. These do not have a hole but are not supposed to have glue in the center. It would have been nice to have some instructions because when we applied the patch it became quite confusing how these were meant to be applied since there was no hole. It didn't go on right and when trying to adjust it, it pulled out the sensor wasting it.

I've been using adhesive patches over my sensor for about a year now. The glue used to keep the patch in place is amazing stuff and, in my experience, is totally waterproof. I shower and swim with good results. One patch lasts me about a week then I have to change it out because the edges start looking worn and loose. It isn't a problem to replace halfway through my sensor's 2-week lifespan, though. There always seems to be some glue residue that I have to clean off my arm, but that is minor.My husband places the patch over my sensor for me which makes the patch stay nice and flat. I'm very happy with this product for use with the FreeStyle Libre 2.
