Good product
We find these work best with the G7 Dexcom sensors, though they will start to peel off after several hot showers (but mostly stay stuck on). Easy to apply, but the latest ones have the protective paper backing that's over the adhesive part cut into 4 pieces vs the original two, and because I peel the paper off as I stick the patch on I find it harder to apply now. But still better than most patches (including Dexcom's).

Perfect Fit for Dexcom G7
I really like these adhesive patches, they come in a nice variety of pastel colors which makes wearing a CGM feel a little more fun and personal. They stick well and last several days, even with daily showers. They’re also gentle on my skin and don’t peel too easily. Overall, a solid choice if you want dependable protection with a pop of color.

Not even a day and the edges are peeling away
Just use what Dexcom provides as these are subpar at best. I’ve tried them multiple times (I must be insane as I expect different results each time) and in less than 12 hours time the edges are peeling away.For context, I shaved the arm area where the sensor was inserted. I used several alcohol wipes to clean the area for maximum adhesion.i washed my hands to ensure that they were as clean as possible. I inserted the sensor. I followed the instructions provided by the manufacturer. This was at 9AM this morning. It’s now 5:50PM and the edges have separated from my skin. It’s not a small amount - in some places it is to the sticker of the sensor. This is my third attempt. I’m now donating these to my local trash heap.My rating: this is a product of the lowest quality. I’m going to stick with the patch that Dexcom provides as they tend to last me about 3-4 days before the edges begin to peel away.On top of that, just getting the patch in place is excruciating. The process is extremely complicated and may require several patches/tries to get it right. It’s frustrating and wasteful. Disappointment is a given.I was thinking that these would be as strong as IV patches but boy was I wrong. Immediately I went to Dexcom for more patches as while they may be revealing they are functional.If I were to make this product better, I’d likely copy the Dexcom design in terms of having a stronger backing on the top part to keep the adhesive patch in tact during placement. As it stands these somewhat bend in the center, exposing the flaws of its design. I’d also consider higher quality and medical grade adhesives that stick.I shouldn’t have to be double-jointed or require assistance to place the patch over my sensor. In my most elegant and careful of movements these tend to fold in the center. There is also an element of static electricity to them which can repel the placement even with surgical hands. This leads me to conclude that they likely weren’t made in a medical grade facility. Questionable so be warned.I’m all for supporting small business, but if the quality sucks I’m out. Besides scotch tape is much cheaper. However if you need some extra lift, the wings these create may help.

Good
They work good for what it’s worth but after I showered I could easily take it off, so not sure if the adhesive is very strong.

The best CGM skn.
I just switched to the G7 and ordered these for the fun design options and the durability. I have used them with my other sensors as well as my infusion sets. These offer a little bit of style along your medical journey, and they are super great quality. I hit mine all day on stuff and am surprised at how strong they hold on, even after daily showers. They stick very well, i have never had an issue with peeling. SSSSOOOO easy to put on, if you either read the instructions or just watch a simple video on it on YouTube or TikTok, it will literally be one of the easiest things you've ever done, one handed. They are the perfect size for my G7 sensor and definitely waterproof.

Cute but could be better.
The hole for the sensor is a little too big for the Dexcom G7, I accidentally knocked my sensor on my door frame and the little layer of adhesive on the actual sensor came up from under the patch because of how large the hole is. So far I have used two though they do for the most part last the whole 10 days I wish it was a snugger fit to the sensor so that it tacks better to the sensors own little layer of adhesive. The patch I have on now is on day 9 and it doesn’t even look like it’s holding anything. I worked out and showered every day so I definitely did put it to the test and i started seeing lifting and fraying of the edges around day 6. And lastly the adhesive backing has a 4 part peel and it’s very awkward to put on. The picture is from day 9.

Stays Put!!
Work really well! I sweat a ton and move around a lot. Had to replace one after 3 days but it held up really great for how rough I was. Without this additional protection I would have lost the GCM.

Product sticks on and flex’s with your body
1st review, I tried another brand of overpatch before this one that immediately Frayed and peeled around the edges. The thing I like the most about this product that the advertiser doesn’t mention is how it flexes with your movement. The edges have a little of the fabric peeling a bit. But the adhesive is still hanging strong. Great product
