Best barrier wipe around
As a type 2 diabetic, I find this barrier film wipe to be effective and easy to use. I protects my skin when I apply my CGM (Dexcom G7) and the over-patch. I do not use a barrier film, I get something that looks like a chemical burn/blister wherever the attaching adhesives touch my unprotected skin. The Dexcom CGMs are supposed to run for 10 days. It only takes a few hours for my unprotected skin to skin to react to the adhesives. This product has helped me immensely. I don’t have to worry about the intense itching and burning I have endured without it, previously. It is also a relief to not have open sores due to the blistering that can occur when I don’t apply a barrier film. I’m sure others have encountered this issue. I have also found this same barrier film as a spray. It helps tremendously. I just spray it liberally on the area to which I want to apply my CGM and over-patches, let it dry, then apply my device and over-patches, rub my finger over the device and patches to be sure the adhesion is strong, then go about my business. Lasts the whole 10 days without fear of irritation, itching, burning, or residual blisters/sores. I am much happier using this product. It is far better than any other product I’ve tried. I hope this has been helpful. - M. Murphy

Bandages will stick!
Bandages keep falling off? Not anymore! This product prepares the skin to accept them.

Tried another brand but these are the best!
This is excellent skin prep. The swab covers a large area around my wound. It also protects my surrounding skin 100% of the time. I tried another brand and it took 4 of the other brand to equal one of these. These are very reasonably priced too. This stuff works.

Work great non-irritating. I used as a barrier for tape that had to stay in place for a week at a time. Sticks good, reduced irritation.

Works for my libre 3 & protection from adhesive rash on waterproof bandages for my estrogen patch. *Not as adhesive* as skin tac brand & this does contain alcohol if your sensitive to adhesive rash.

My mom is allergic to the adhesive for libre2, but these things made it feasible for my mom to find an easy space to monitor her glucose. Magical little wipes that serve as barrier between skin and adhesive if the livre2 glucose arm monitor. So happy my mom’s nurse recommended this vs the alcohol swabs that come with the libre2 products.

I love this product. It's the difference between taping lasting under 24 hours, or days.

Pharmacies sell the same product but at a 200% markup. Why pay full price when you can get from this seller at a far more reasonable price. Very happy to recommend this seller.
