Skin Grip Freestyle Libre 2 Sensor Covers & Lingo CGM – Waterproof and Sweatproof Adhesive for 10-15 Days, Pre-Cut Medical Tape, Continuous Glucose Monitor Patch – 20 Pack, Clear

I have been using the Skin Grip sensor covers with my glucose monitor, and they have proven to be a reliable solution for long-term wear. - Strong Adhesion: The cover stays secure for the full 15-day period without peeling or loosening. - Waterproof & Sweatproof: It holds up well through showers and workouts, drying quickly without compromising grip. - Compatibility: Works perfectly with my Stelo device, covering it nicely and making it less noticeable. - Removal: Even after 15 days, the adhesive remains secure, but it can be removed cleanly from the skin with alcohol. - Application: Applying the cover solo can be a bit tricky. I have found the best placement is when another person helps, ensuring it’s aligned properly. ✅ Final Thoughts Skin Grip delivers on its promise of long-lasting, waterproof adhesion. It keeps my glucose monitor discreet and secure, while still being removable without irritation. If you want dependable sensor covers that can handle daily life, this is a solid choice—just be prepared to ask for a little help when applying.

These stick! And they have seperate sections to uncover so you can stick where you want. This is really nice for the Libre 3 sensor. You can leave the center cover in place and seal all the way around the sensor. Makes replacing the sticker not have to mean pulling out your sensor. However the stick on these is so strong you won't have to replace it before you replace the sensor itself. Best purchase for the longevity of the sensor. Keeps it from getting accidentally loosened or pulled out and from the reliability of the sensor getting messed with. They are comfortable to wear. No irritation of the skin. No ugly residue left on after removing. They are easy to apply and stay strong in their hold for as long as you are wearing it. Even through showering and normal daily wear and tear. I'd suggest using an oil to remove when ready because the stick is strong.

Pros: *Too sticky (went through a whole pack and never lost a sensor) *Helps bevel the edge. Door glides over sensor instead of under it. *Did not react to adhesive *fabric stretches and lays flat *used this patch with Dexcom G7, worked great. *can change patch without removing sensor. Now what you’re really here for. Cons *frays after a few days. At the end of 10 days looks ratty, and I’m not talking a little frayed. I’m talking inch long strings hanging in clumps. Do not underestimate the fray! But still sticks. *not water proof. Water soaks through *too sticky! Hurts to take off. If not for the fray would be 5 stars.

I'm on my third sensor which means I have applied these three times and removed them twice. I lost a lot of weight and have "crepey" skin and I think that might be why but adhesives REALLY stick to me and tend to be hard to remove. The sensors themselves stick great, I don't need these patches to help keep them on, but the idea of just going around with the sensor exposed doesn't appeal to me so I will continue to use these even though they are very hard to get off and I'm pretty much waiting to tear my skin. I remove them and the sensor in the shower, by pouring generous amounts of baby oil over them. I do leave the same sticker on the whole two weks, they start to look ragged after a while but I don't really mind. They aren't water resistant and get wet but I think they are supposed to breathe and the sensors do just fine. (You do not have to cut a hole in the middle, it is not necessary.) The adhesive paper on the back is divided, there is a circle the size of the sensor in the middle and then the rest is divided into quarters. I leave the middle circle on so it doesn't stick to the sensor in case I do need to change the sticker without pulling out the sensor. I apply them by removing one quarter, sticking that part above the sensor, removing the bottom quarter, applying that one, then doing the sides. It's a little difficult to do by myself (and with my non dominant hand) but it can be done. Pro-tip if you're new to this, don't apply a sticker after applying a new sensor until after you wait the first hour and are sure the sensor is working correctly, so you don't waste a sticker.

For a couple of months I had to use a Libre freestyle 3 to monitor my blood sugar as it dropped throughout the day. I often bump into things, so I was looking for a good product to ensure I get the most out of my sensor. These are perfect (when applied correctly)! Normally I would shave that area of my arm, shower, dry off, prep with alcohol, place the sensor, then put the skin grip on top, leaving the backing on the middle part just in case I have to swap out patches before the sensor expires. After 1 or 2 shower the edges would start to fray, but most of time they would stay on at least for 7 days, if not the full 14. The removal process is pretty simple, especially if you leave the backing on the middle piece, as it doesn’t get stuck to the sensor. Not only is the product worth the money, but it also makes the Libre 3 freestyle worth the money since I’m able to keep it on the full 14 days.

My boyfriend is a diabetic and he recently got his free libre monitor to help him track his sugar the only problem was that he sweats a lot and often time he monitor will fall off or not even stick properly so when I suggested we buy this and give it a try he was so surprised on how well they worked and how well they stayed on for 14 days and more importantly how well abrasive they are without falling off when he sweats

These work with many caveats. You need to place them correctly, which can be difficult to do. The sensor needs to be at the back of the arm, which is not ideal placement to then have to put this on. There are 5 peel away tabs, one center and 4 outer ring tabs. Using a mirror and a lot of body maneuvering you can get it centered and half the patch stuck on but then to get the other tabs off you have to partially peel the patch off to do so, which then can cause an adhesion issue later on. I also have nerve issues so feeling the tabs is difficult for me because they are so smooth and flexible but that's more of a me problem, not the product, but if someone else is dealing with a similar issue I have found these patches are harder to feel the tab on than others. I do like that the patch is a band aid type material that is breathable but since it is fabric-like it stays damp out of the shower even after toweling off. I think it holding on to moisture like this plus the aforementioned need to partially peel it back to get tabs off when applying, can also cause the adhesive to wear off sooner. I find the edges begin to peel back and I go trimming as needed to keep from having it flap over or stick out. They tend to last for me about a week, although I just had to replace a patch that was on for only 5 days. If you do change the patch halfway through the sensor cycle when it is time to change because your 14 days on the sensor are up, you also may have an issue with it still being very stuck on, and it will then hurt to remove but you can't keep it on because your sensor is expired. In these cases I've had the adhesive stuck to my skin and it is difficult to remove. Also when trying to replace these, since the patch sticks to the sensor, you have to be careful you don't accidentally take off your sensor in the changing process. Wouldn't be an issue if the patch stuck the way they say it should. I will use the rest of the patches that I have but will probably not repurchase. They are a bit expensive to not stick the way that they should.

IMO you MUST use some kind of adhesive patch over the Libre 3. Otherwise it will likely not stay the 14 days. These adhesive patches are great. Easy to put, stay strong... and hard to remove. Likely made worst because I also use Skin Tac wipes https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NSCHY4/ (use some throw away gloves when you use the wipes, else your fingers will be really sticky). I feel that combination is great if you like to take some hot and long showers for instance. Now to remove it, baby oil and related stuff might be ok but takes forever so I do not recommend them. Instead it's worth spending to get Tac Away wipes https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VS1FD9I/ With practice, one wipe is enough. But at the beginning, you will likely need 2 wipes (they have no acetone). Like all removal, start on any side of the sticker that is a bit lifted off the skin. Then wipe the wipe back and forth while pulling a bit on the adhesive until you either have half of the adhesive removed, or remove it fully. Tip: use the wipe to clean any part that had adhesive and now had dirt stuck to your skin. Best of luck, and keep that glucose under control, so your insulin response also stays under control, and your health improves (+ you will stop being hungry, stop being hangry, lose weight as a side benefit, etc). I cannot recommend enough "Glucose Revolution" https://www.amazon.com/Glucose-Revolution-Life-Changing-Power-Balancing-ebook/dp/B098442BG3 as a fast and likely life changing book.
