FixiC – Adhesive Patches for G7 & Stelo – 25 Pack Premium Waterproof Adhesive Patches – Pre-Cut Back Paper – Adhesive Patch for G7 – Long Fixation! (Multi-Color)

I’ve tried a number of brands, including the cute ones, nothing out sticks these covers. One cover can last the entire session without having to change it out. The other lose their sticky and start peeling these ones don’t do that. High recommendation.

I was continually frustrated with the thin overlays I was using for my Dexcom. They did not hold to the skin and the adhesive caused itching and rashes. I routinely had to cut away part of the patch by day 4 and use medical tape to make it through the 10-day period. I tried these and am extremely pleased. Now on the 3rd use and the patch does not pull away from the skin until day 9 if at all. The adhesive does not irritate my skin unless it is exposed to air if patch pulls away. Considering how much I enjoy the benefit of the Dexcom to monitor my glucose, these are a welcome solution. I will buy more and recommend that people try them out.

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!

These patches are great! They are barely noticeable. They stich through showers. I don't have to change them daily. They are very well worth the cost.

We ordered this product in hopes that it would perform as well as the product we had purchased at a diabetic conference. We tried a different brand in September, as the manufacturer of the original was backordered and we needed adhesive patches for the Dexcom 6. Unfortunately, the product we tried in September from a different manufacturer did not perform well at all. The edges rolled on day 2. I am delighted to report that the product from Fixic is as good as the ones from diabetic conference we attended. The product from Fixic is very easy to apply as the backing peels easily from 1/2 the patch, and then can apply that half and then remove the backing from the other side. Very easy application. There is very little rolling of the edges, however like all of the ones we have used, there is some minor fraying of the fabric on the edges of the patch. Additionally, the adhesive does not irritate my daughter's skin, so this is a great product for us. My daughter's only request would be to have a different size available for application to her legs and arms. Because of the increased movement in these areas, a larger patch would be preferred. The product from the diabetic conference is larger and rectangular in shape, which she prefers for her arms and legs.

Going back to the original - these work, a little too well. Their adhesive is far too strong. My lady had to literally rip it off compared to peeling off the original over patches. They go on more efficiently - like a band-aid but it's the removal that's an issue for me. Maybe good for others, not me.

I have been using these tapes for my Dexcom g6 all summer. I had a kid accidentally “knock” my sensor off at a Waterpark and immediately bought these to help keep them on! The tapes have held up with a lot of water activities, sweating and humid weather. I’m impressed they last as long as they do. My pictures are at day 10 when my sensor expired and as you can see the tape is still holding strong! The edges do fray but that has not bothered me at all. I do use these with “Skin tac wipes” and if your diabetic and haven’t used the wipes, do yourself a favor a try them out! Helps keep sites on longer.

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. :-)
