Freestyle Libre 2 Sensor Covers (20 Pack) Lingo CGM Patches for Freestyle Libre 2 - Water Resistant & Durable for 10-14 Days - Multicolor

These patches work great! Better than others I’ve tried- I’ve used them with both the Lingo and Stello CGMs. They protect the CGM. The middle of the cover isn’t sticky, so the cover won’t stick to your CGM and pull it out when you change the patch (this happened to me with a different brand!) These hold up well for days, dry easily after getting wet, and are easy to change. Also I love the colors!

The first time I wore my CGM it was supposed to last for 14 days. It made it to 7 before the glue gave up and it popped off when it caught on my shirt sleeve. After that, I started using large medical adhesive bandages, but the adhesives caused irritation and were very difficult to remove without pain. These not only protect my CGM from having the adhesive wear off too quickly but also give me peace of mind. I'm not fully comfortable with my CGM since I have a mild needle phobia and worry about it getting scraped off and hurting me. These patches help to protect the edges so that I no longer have a sudden sense of panic when my CGM catches on the edge of a door frame or my clothes. My advice in wearing them is that you might want to shave the area before applying your CGM and the patch so that you don't have to deal with it pulling on hair when it needs to be removed.

These have saved me a lot of annoyances - seemed I always lost a sensor or two each summer working outside. These patches keep things secure, even in the heat. Only drawback I found was that the adhesive leaves residue that can be difficult to scrub off. That's a problem if you need to change covers before the sensor is finished as you can't scrub aggressively around the sensor without the danger of losing the sensor.

I got this 20-pack for my grandmother, and she absolutely loves the variety of colors. After applying her new sensor, I just peel back the backing and stick the patch right over it—it fits perfectly! Best part is, I can still scan her sensor with no issues when reprogramming the reader. The patch stays in place for the full 14 days, even through showers and her daily routine, with no worries about the sensor falling off or getting damaged. On top of that, the stylish designs have gotten so many compliments that even her daughter wanted some for her own sensor! Great value for the money, reliable hold, and such a fun way to make the sensor look stylish while keeping it secure. Highly recommend!

I ordered this to protect my round FreeStyle Libre CGM, after having used a couple of other standard stick-on patches that caused great skin irritation and tore my skin on removal. I chose this product because it was advertised as hypoallergenic. In use, it does seem to be so — the skin irritation and tearing is no longer a problem. But the patches are not satisfactory, largely because they do not adhere well, and because the design is awkward. The adhesive on these disks does not cause irritation, and is much more gentle on the skin than that of other patches. The red rashes and skin tearing resulting from other patches have ended. However, the glue is so weak that the patches quickly start to peel off. Other patches could last the full two weeks of the monitor's use; this one goes less than a week, and the edges of the patch start to curl up within a day or two. They can be worn in the shower, but that seems to hasten their failure to remain adhered. Their "10+ Days" claim is nowhere near accurate. They're also a little more expensive than other patches, which would not be so bad except that I'm using 1.5 - 2x as many for a 2-week period. Finally, the shape is odd. They have a 3-part peel-off covering over the glue on the back of the patch: two strips around the outside edge, and an elongated one in the middle. When you remove all three, the entire back of the patch is covered with glue. Most other patches designed for CGMs have a glue-free section in the middle, to go over the monitor itself and keep from sticking to it and possibly pulling it out if you remove the patch. The instructions for these tell you to leave the paper covering in the middle on, and glue the patch down only around the edges, if you want to avoid sticking it to the monitor. This means you would have the shiny paper covering left on the middle of the patch, on the underside, after you stick it to your skin. This is very awkward, and doesn't really work. The patch itself is designed to work with both the round FreeStyle monitors and the oblong Dexcom ones, thus doubling their market without producing two different patches. This results in the triangular patch with the off-center middle section. This is awkward to put on and center over the monitor disk (I am using the round FreeStyle disks), and, if you choose to leave the circle-on-an-oval center paper section on, means you have to orient it exactly (for Dexcom) or have the paper sticking out uselessly on two sides of the round disk (for FreeStyle), if you can even get it centered properly. In short, the design tries to fit two differently-shaped monitors, and isn't easy to use for either. When I am done with my first order of these (soon, since they fall off so quickly!), I will look for another solution. They deserve credit for being truly skin-friendly, but the design and application is dysfunctional.

As much as I wanted to love these because I liked the shape and the color, unfortunately they were not made for the libre. The center adhesive backing that typically could be left in place so it doesn’t stick to your CGM, it’s not a round circle. Instead, it is designed for another CGM, not the libre. Instead of a round circle, the shape is a circle with two side pieces hanging off it which is left in place slide around and loosen while it’s on your arm and itches a lot. The patch unfortunately doesn’t attach well around the round libre, Therefore I was unable to get a secure and waterproof attachment. The patch also bunched up in places that left indentation marks on my arm when I took it off after only one day. No way this patch would last even a few days on me since it lifted so much on day one I had to remove it. Now the main problem that was the most annoying is that center piece that had the weird shaped backing. Anyone that wears these expensive CGM devices knows that if you do not leave the center in place, you will never be able to remove the patch without ripping the CGM off your arm. So it is of the utmost importance to make sure that you can leave the center in place and seal around the round Libre securely. This patch is NOT for the Libre based on the design of the center backing. I reached out to the company to let them know thinking that I was sent to the wrong design since this did not fit the libre. their response left a lot to be desired, saying that they were aware of this design issue but were not concerned with updating the photos and descriptions in the ad until they depleted their stock supplies that they had on hand. Needless to say, I had to send these back. I’ve already tried a better brand and I’m just gonna stick with Them. It would have been an easy fix to admit the error and fix the ads and photos and descriptions so people like me are not misled into thinking they are purchasing something that will work for their device. for those of us that depend on these patches to secure our expensive CGM devices, Always make sure you have a back up in case you purchase something from a company that fails on quality and accuracy.

This is my preferred daily cover for my Libre Freestyle because it is not hard on my skin when I remove it. The adhesion is perfect for daily showering but it only lasts about 4 days for me and the edges start to lift. I do not feel it is great for extended water activities - I use a different brand that has much better adhesion but is also kind of hard on my skin. So if you are looking for something that will keep your sensor in place (I like to knock into doorways apparently) but not remove a layer of skin, this patch is a great option.

These CGM patches have been essential. I have been monitoring my glucose for a few months. I am not easy on my CGM. The stickiness and durability of these patches have kept me from having to replace my CGM early. They are easy enough to take off, but it's helpful to hold your skin taut to assist with removal. I love the rainbow of colors they come with. I am working my way through the rainbow, and am currently on green. These "slightly ruffled" edges are after eight days. Sometimes I clip them, but I don't have to, as it does not cause any water to get in.
