FixicAdhesive Patches for G6 – 25 Pack Premium Waterproof Adhesive Patches – Pre-Cut Back Paper – Adhesive Patch for G6 – Long Fixation! (Black)

These Overpatches are huge! In their packaged form they will not last 10 days without peeling off. and when they come off, its a ton of adhesive to get off your skin. Tip: If you want these to last 10 days and come off easily, cut them down to about half their normal width (Approx 1/2" wide). it sounds wierd that less overpatch would last longer, but it does. Try it! But be warned, when you cut them smaller, they can be a pain to get on initially.

If you use a CGM, (continuous glucose monitor), these are a must. The adhesive that comes on the monitor itself is good, but after the 10 or 14 day use (depending on which model you use), they are getting weak and ready to fall off. These enhance the hold of the CGM, and worst case, if this bandage gets weak, you can simply change an inexpensive bandage rather lose an expensive CGM. Believe me, I've lost them. Hit a door frame and knock it off. This protects it. Only question that I have is why the bandage does not cover the monitor itself. I was used to the Freestyle, and those patches cover the monitor completely. Now that I use the Dexcom, I have not been able to find a patch that covers it, only the devices adhesive. I'm guessing there's a reason, but regardless, these patches work just fine.

I bought these for my son as an alternate to the skin grip brand. They never seem to stay on even with using the skin tac adhesive first. These? They stick! We also use the plastic protective barrier around the dexcom first in case this does peel or fray. The only times we have had issues or if he is swimming all day for a couple days in a row. Other than that, these stay in place. No irritation either. I just bought the size for the Omnipod as well and we haven’t tried them yet as he is still using the pod pals that came with the starter.

I work out, I am a heavy sweater, and I work construction in south Florida... we are talking 95 degrees with 80% humidity. I've been using the g6 for 4 months, this is the first time I have kept a monitor on for longer than 5 days. I am so stoked, it seemed like I was going to have to stop using the CGM system.

I needed something to keep my CGM (continuous glucose monitor) on my body during showering, swimming, or being exposed to anything wet. I use a skin barrier wipe as well, but it doesn't keep the sticky stuff on the CGM on very well, so I purchased these adhesive patches. The market has all kinds of "pretty" or "fun" adhesives, but they don't hold very well ALL the time and they are sometimes very difficult to put on. This one has three tabs areas to pull off when putting it on instead of just one tab that can end up sticking on everything it touches. These don't work that way, I can pull off the upper tab, put it on my body, then move down to the next tab, pull that off, and finally the 3rd tab and it seems to go on easier and definitely lasts longer than the others have! There is ONE issue--if your CGM is a dud or something didn't go right when you put a new one on and you have to take it off, the adhesive is SO strong that it is quite difficult to pull off! I like that I can swim, shower, workout at the gym knowing this adhesive will keep my CGM on the entire time! Works very well!

Finding a good over patch for the G7 has been difficult to say the least. The one that comes with the item is hard to put on by yourself and who wants a big white square on their arm. I have tried the clear ones like I used with my G6 and the adhesive is not the same. Even with an adhesion promoter they still did not last the full 10 days. This goes on easy if I peal off one of the ends and line it up and then pull off rest of backing. It does not irritate my skin and stays on the full 10 days. Still using the adhesion promoter with it also.

This over patch is a nice size and I love the fabric feel if it (I’ve tried others more plastic-y). The only downside is it frays a but, especially if you have to cut some of it away due to lifting. At this price though, it’s hard to beat. :)

Only on day 2 and used skin tac prior, but so no fraying and think this is my new favorite combo. Using with the sticky g6 shield (if there is lifting will be easy to swap). Because I’m using with the protector, I like that it’s a little larger so there’s more skin coverage. Pics compared to signos covers (which only were last me like 3 days before lifting). Nervous to try the Dexcom clear patches because saniderm causes some irritation along the edges when I’ve used for tattoo healing.

Couldn't be happier with these overpatches. Definitely no more sensors starting to peel off before the 10 days are up.I've never had any adhesion problems, at all. If anything they adhere a little too well. I'm a slightly hairy guy, and find that it's actually best to shave under where the patch is going. Otherwise, be warned, you are getting a waxing where the overpatch is.The feeling of them is like they are not there. It's a very thin and flexible fabric.Looks: it looks like an overpatch! Sort of like the waterproof bandaid look, just thinner and more flexible. It doesn't totally disappear, but sensors are visible anyways, so it really doesn't bother me.Application tips: You peel off the paper side first. Remove the middle section only, apply the patch and best you can push it around the sensor. Then remove the backing from each of the ends. This will make applying much easier.Removal: Get a corner up, and then rip hard. Much better done fast. It's not that bad, even when you are getting a free waxing. :-)

This item starts fraying the minute it gets wet. Looks unsightly after the first day. G6 lasts for 10 days and it’s hard to change these covers in between.

Adhesion is good. My only complaint is that it frays around the edges.

I bought these patches to help the Decom G6 sensor stay on my wife's arm but they are not much better than the ones that Dexcom sells. Halfway through her ten days I was adding tape to keep the whole thing on her arm. Kind of disaapointed.

The product description mentions "adhesive patch back paper consists of 2 parts for to peel off easily".One of the pictures shows those 2 parts. I purchased the patches for that reason.The actual product has patch back paper in 3 parts, that I did not want because it makes it a bit difficult for me to apply the patch smoothly, without stretching, folds or bumps.I apply the patch over Skin Tac adhesive, so fiddling around with 3 part patch backing is difficult.
