Lexcam Dexcom G7 Over Patches Waterproof 20 Pack, Strong Hold 15 Days Clear

Stays on the whole 15 days and doesn’t peel up like others. It’s very water and sweat proof and can make it through swimming and intense workout classes. LOVE!It does a great job and protecting the sensor and fits perfectly over my dexcom g7

I started using a Stelo glucose monitor a year ago, and found it to be very helpful in modifying my eating. However, I was very frustrated when replacing the sensor because of the original over patches, which are applied to secure the sensor. Those patches were hard to remove--even with adhesive remover; they often detached from the edge of the sensor, which made that hard to remove. Out of desperation I tried these over patches--and what a difference! They peels off easily, but do stick tight to the sensor so comes off with it. Now I can do a sensor change in about 4 minutes. A bonus--they are almost clear and less noticeable. I highly recommend these!!

Only wore for one day so far, but these patches are nice and big comfortable. And the coolest part is when you put them on, they peel off in a circular motion so you don't accidentally pull up the sticker. I'll update my review later after the full 15 days to see if it lasts. I'm using with dexcom G7 and I'm going to type 1 diabetic for reference

-first one tried worked great and had zero issues; lasted entire 15 days with no problems-second one had some issues, not staying on but ripping by the sensors pad and it would bubble up and tear on sides; next one did the same thing-but never came off, protects extremely well and still way better than what comes with the sensors-so easy to put on and get in place and really don't notice they are there at all-they get VERY itchy though to the point you want to rip it off sometimes, that is becoming a problem and only reason didn't give 5 stars. Could just be my skin perhaps though-overall they are excellent and should work extremely well for many-I leave them on until around 8-10 days then put the Dexcom shipped on on top to keep it from pulling away by the sensor as it has been and that works great so far-hate that the glue leaves that sticky colored spot but is what it is-definitely would recommend though take notice if they itch a lot might need to try another brand. Am only on my 4th one and 50% of the time the itching was bad but got through it

I receive these last week but I had to wait until I got my new sensors. Update. 24 hours later I just wanted to let you know that these things stick so well to you you do not even know where they end and your skin begins. Nothing sticks up they are perfect after 24 hours. Amazing !!These products are fantastic. Take a look at the picture next 2. You can see the adhesive is that I was using prior. Now they were not specifically designed for this Dexcom so I had to use two of them. They were horrible. It will take me at least 4 or five times of going through these expensive Band-Aid type things to finally get them to go onto my body. Impossible to get tape off them. These are so easy to peel off and put on it it’s not even funny. They are not flimsy. So when you peel off of them it stands straight up so there’s no issues with it falling down and sticking to your hand or not being able to get off the tape that’s on it. Customer service is fantastic they sent me an email just to make sure that I knew what I was doing with putting them on. Even sent me a video. Each one comes individual image on little Ziploc type casing. Which to me is fantastic because the other stuff that I had came in a flimsy little cellophane that ripped apart soon as I open them up. No box no nothing. These are worth the money which is not that much because the product is fantastic. Sometimes when you get packaging that is this good the product inside doesn’t live up to the hype. These did!! This stuff is packaged beautifully and works beautifully. I will be ordering these whenever I need them. I highly recommend them

I tried couple different types and this one was superior.. I saw another review that said put this one on top of the sticky pad that comes with your Dexcom.. DON'T DO THAT! This is all you need.. it stayed on after sweating and getting wet from showers... I was in the hot tub/pool for a minimum of 6-7 hours during the 10 day period and it took a beating but still stayed on.. granted it was on the back of my upper arm so it wasn't completely submerged the whole time but definitely part of the time.. after the 10 days it was still really sticky and not easy to come off... try to avoid putting soap, lotions, and oils directly on or around the dexcom patch as much as possible.. water is fine..(HOW TO APPLY SO IT STAYS ON):: I shave/cut hair where Im applying the dexcom/patch.. It is important to make sure the area is completely clean. I used any kind of soap/towel and wiped with alcohol patches.. when applying the decom device i perss firmly and hold it there for 10-15 seconds after it is ejected.. then I gently rub around the edges of the sticky strip that's on the device to make sure it's smooth.. next I apply the Lexcam patch.. NEVER USE THE PATCH THAT COMES WITH THE DEVICE!!! All you want and need is the Lexcam patch.. I tried using both and it didn't work that way.. after you apply the lexcam patch gently rub around it while the paper is still on.. then remove the paper and rub again Making sure it's all smooth.. wait 12-24 hours before you get it wet so it has time to bond with your skin... This is the method I used and it has NEVER failed during the 10 days..

I have good luck with these. They don’t irritate my skin. They DO stick really well. The last sensor I removed had one of these on it. I will say that I was in a hurry when I put it on and didn’t trim my tummy before I applied the sensor and this over patch. Oh boy. That was painful to remove. Lol. But that’s a good thing. I do tech service for a company that makes adhesives/glues. So I should know better than to apply an adhesive patch (that can last for 10 days on human skin) over hair. I usually trim (and I’m not very hairy) before I apply these. And normally they peel off - taking a little effort, with no pain and no damage to the skin. But fair warning! They will pull hair that is longer than about 1/4 inch (5 or 6 mm). I’ve had no problem with them causing irritation. They stick well. They are easy to apply (they do include instructions - if you don’t read them and don’t get it right, that is YOUR problem. Don’t write a bad review because you don’t read.) I will continue to order these.Now, one thing I know from having done tech service in adhesives for 25 years is that not everyone reacts to things the same way. That is NOT the fault of the patch manufacturer. If your skin develops a rash when it comes into contact with this adhesive, that is unfortunate, but NOT anyone’s fault. It doesn’t mean this is a bad product. It just means it isn’t the right product for you. For all the people claiming it’s a poorly designed product, that’s like someone who is allergic to peanuts saying that peanuts are poison. No, they aren’t. That’s just the way things are. Sadly, no company can figure out what will work for every single person on the planet. They have to do the best they can to make a product that bonds well to most people’s skin, and doesn’t irritate or harm most people’s skin. If you aren’t “most people,” that is an unfortunate circumstance, but at the end of the day, it is YOUR problem and not anyone else’s. Don’t be so ego-centric to rant over what a “horrible” product it is and maybe keep someone (like myself) from being able to use these helpful over-patches. Just say they didn’t work for you, state why, and move on. But if you are like me, and probably 90% or more of the rest of the population, these are a great over-patch that does exactly what it claims it does.

Great patches did leave a little behind but came off with a couple wipes...
