Fixic Freestyle Adhesive Patch 25 PCS – Good for Libre 1, 2, 3 & Plus – Enlite – Guardian – NO Glue in The Center of The Patch – Pre-Cut Back Paper – Long Fixation for Your Sensor! (Multi-Color)

So far, so good. I have been using them over my Libre 3 with placement on the upper chest. Application was easy but I think I would have struggled trying to it by myself if I had to put it on the arm, since there are three pieces of backing you have to try to remove during the application. Use help if you have it. It dries quickly when showering and swimming and survived a 2 day kayak trip where I pretty much lived in the lake. No skin irritation has been noted yet, but I recommend using alcohol to get it off-I rubbed the outside and edges and it rolled right off without removing the sensor. The material felt like paper but functions like a lightweight cloth--I expected it to be like mepilex tape but it isn't quite--it's a great material. So far, no fraying to the edges, loosening, or pulling on the skin. Purple stayed colorfast but the black faded to gray pretty quickly. Overall, this is a great product.The last three images show my patch after removal. It was on for 14 days. As you can see, it is still very sticky with minimal fraying (considering its two weeks old with no trimming). The redness is from the removal, not skin irritation. After 2 showers, the glue residue remained on the skin (but came off with an alcohol wipe).After some time using this product, I've only had one patch come off early: it was the second day applied and I got dumped out of my kayak in the swamp. I scrambled to get on, and when I got stable I noticed this bandage had rolled off in the process. Second, I would like to recommend they make these a little smaller, even if it meant making a line specific for the Libre3 sensors. The original freestyle sensor was much larger, so these are way larger than need-be for the 2 or 3 sensors.

It’s the closest to my skin tone as I’ll get. I love it because I don’t feel like a cyborg walking around with my device in my bare skin. It’s a good camouflage and perfectly sized… and stays on the full 10 days. Only downsides are that it does its job so well that it is pretty hard to pull off so you will definitely need to purchase some sort of adhesive remover… and the length of time you have to wait for delivery compared to the other color design choices. There is enough in the pack to last a while… even with the 3 system malfunctions I had, all device performance issues not related to the patch.

I purchased these a couple of years ago but have only been using them regularly for about 8 months.They are good, comfortable, easy to apply, and there have been no adverse skin reactions to the adhesive BUT that said, the adhesive is not strong enough to last for more than a couple of days. I have found that it is necessary to also use an adhesive barrier (this brand has one and there are other brands listed on Amazon as well) when applying the patch which really helps it to stay in place for the life of the sensor.Only a couple of times have I had to replace the patch before the end of the sensor life and that was because it was looking raggedy and I wanted a clean look.To be fair, I am reviewing a product that is over two years old and I see now that this brand has since upgraded their adhesive so the extra step of adding an adhesive barrier may no longer be necessary. I have not yet tried their new and improved patch so I can't say, at this moment, if it is better or not.Based on my current experience, I would recommend this product.

The adhesive fails when wet. I love the color as it conceals the sensor. I will definitely keep using it.

***** UPDATE*****The company stood behind their guarantee after our discussion and my pictures ,which I posted. Thank you . I just had to change to my new sensor and will post about it when I see how it reacts with my skin. Hopefully the silicon patch will do much better.FixiC started out nice and helpful. Offered me a refund toward a silicone patch that I wanted to try.( they sent it t PayPal) However, I had to change my sensor on Friday, 3/22/24, before they got back to me. So, I ordered a different patch to see if it would stay on. When i sent pictures of the allergic response I had on 3/23/24. I showed them what had happened and asked for help. I also asked for the “100% guaranteed refund” that is shown in the information when you purchase the item. You would have thought I asked for their first born child, blood and urine sample! Yes, I’m being facetious, but honest. Instead they said they had already sent me a refund for the patches I just purchased. They were never asked to give me another refund for the same item. Instead I got a long message pre-typed about how to prepare your arm, not what I asked for, How to put the patch on, not what I asked for, what to do if patch (totally waterproof) gets wet, not what I asked for, and finally a description of what to do if you experience some irritation, AGAIN NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR! As anyone with eyes can see no matter how there patch is made whether hypoallergenic or not, I have a painful itchy welt that wasn’t there, nor did I cause, before I wore their patch. Also, upon more research hidden down in the reviews, I apparently am not alone in the reaction I had to the product. I read so many reviews before I purchased these and I am very saddened and disappointed that the one thing I asked for, that is promised was simply a full refund which in their words was “ 100% guaranteed!” So BUYER BEWARE!

I’m giving it 3 stars because it actually does work and sticks to my skin for the entire two weeks however the color is way off. I wanted something closer to to my skin tone. I was quite upset when I opened the package. Why would they not post the actual color?
