Libre 3 Sensor Covers -50 Pack Waterproof and Latex Free Adhesive Patches -Transparent CGM Tape

I have tried a lot of different Adhesive Patches and these are the best so far. The stay stuck for almost 2 weeks and I work out 5 days a week. The only issue Ive noticed is during the hot summer months they don't hold up as well. They tend to become loose faster with the sweat of workouts in the heat. This is something I have noticed with most patches no matter who makes them. I like that they are transparent so not really noticable.

At first these patches would last for 7 or 8 days before starting to loose their grip. Now they only last a few hours. I keep the bag in a drawer, cool and dry. No reason for them to stop working. I like that they do not irritate my skin as much as others I have tried but they just don’t work and are therefore worthless to me. I would return but the window has now closed.

Bought these on the recommendation of a Libre 3 user and I must say that this is the best thing for this sensor. Lots of people complaining that the sensor falls of quickly after applying. After reading the review, I was hesitant to start on the new sensor. This product really does the trick. Label is clear and neatly fits over the sensor and stays on thru showers, sweating, inadvertent hits, etc. Quite a neat product. I will be ordering these again for the next batch of sensors.

Pros: I haven't lost a sensor since I started using these. They aren't uncomfortable.Con: For me this is a big one. I don't believe it is unique with this brand. It is hard to put on. <<tl:drNo to go into more detail. I am not a contortionist. Imagine trying to put a bandaid over the cgm without touching the adhesive. It goes on the left arm, above the elbow. It is suggested the cgm goes under the arm. I find it works better for me if I put it a little more outside and not under the arm. I suggest trying to use a mirror to put the cover on. You want to try to get the circle in the middle, where there is no adhesive, as close to the cgm as possible. Since these don't last more than about 24 hrs you will need to pull the cover off of the cgm. If the cover is stuck to the top of the cgm it could come off. I'm not saying it will but it could. I have a hard time centering the cover so there is my first problem.Then there is the issue of getting the paper off the cover without touching the part that is supposed to stick to the skin. You can remove the paper as you would for a bandaid. There is no "flap" to grab so its easier to pull off. I usually pull the smaller piece of paper off completely and try to center the cover. After you do that you have to pull the paper off of the rest of the cover. You will probably have an easier time of it than I do.Now that you've got all the paper off and the cover stuck to your arm you have more paper to pull off. Yeah, that blue strip on the top is where you take the top papers off. Its hard to see at first but the blue strip is cut down the center like a pair of pinking shears were used. This is where you separate the top papers. They come off easy once you get a hold on part of the blue strip. Occasionally, it feels like I'm trying to rip off the cover. It doesn't hurt. Its just frustrating for me to struggle with this only to feel like you just ruined everything.Last. Take your index finger and lightly feel around the edge of the cover to make sure its on. I do this for no reason. Ok, small reason: your arm moving around tends to lift up the edges of the cover. Feeling around the edges lets you know if you might need to replace it early... or you don't have to replace it as soon as you thought.Sorry for the wall of text but I found it hard to understand the instructions for this product. I'm sure the people that wrote them have no problem with what the wrote

Though most of the sensors today no not really require additional covers, they stick very well, my wife was interested in something to ensure it would protect sensor from getting knocked off the arm. These work very well, are clear, flexible thing sticky covers. They have removable applicator shields on both sides. One side sticks, they other side is used for stability while applying it. If you pulled them all off at once, it would fold up and stick to itself before you got it on! Ha. Well designed, water proof, and the center of the patch on the inside does not stick to the sensor, so you can remove it if needed easily, and apply a 2nd one on same sensor. This is very nice! Sensors are expensive, so we didn't want it to fight with us when removing the patch. These are great! Works very well on the Libre 2 sensors.

The clear adhesive is pretty boring on these--especially when there are so many varieties of decorative sensor covers available! But they're a lot cheaper than the prettier kinds, and they work pretty well. My sensors tend to fail before they're supposed to be done, and the customer service person the last time I called for a replacement said that according to my codes, it's because they're shifting and the filament under my skin was getting moved out of place. He suggested that I start putting a sensor cover on, and it worked (mostly). The adhesive didn't last for the full 14 days that a sensor is supposed to last, so I had to replace the cover after about a week. It was definitely easy to remove (literally fell off my arm!) but I bumped the sensor while trying to apply a new cover and it failed anyway. So... better than nothing (I got a week out of my sensor before it failed), but I'm not sure it's the best option out there.
