FixicAdhesive Patches for G7 & Stelo – 25 Pack Premium Waterproof Adhesive Patches – Pre-Cut Back Paper – Adhesive Patch for G7 – Long Fixation! (Transparent)

Super durable. I had issues with ones in the past that the adhesive didn’t last. These work wonderful and man they stick!!!!!

These work great! Adhesive way better than others I've used!

I needed something to keep my CGM (continuous glucose monitor) on my body during showering, swimming, or being exposed to anything wet. I use a skin barrier wipe as well, but it doesn't keep the sticky stuff on the CGM on very well, so I purchased these adhesive patches. The market has all kinds of "pretty" or "fun" adhesives, but they don't hold very well ALL the time and they are sometimes very difficult to put on. This one has three tabs areas to pull off when putting it on instead of just one tab that can end up sticking on everything it touches. These don't work that way, I can pull off the upper tab, put it on my body, then move down to the next tab, pull that off, and finally the 3rd tab and it seems to go on easier and definitely lasts longer than the others have! There is ONE issue--if your CGM is a dud or something didn't go right when you put a new one on and you have to take it off, the adhesive is SO strong that it is quite difficult to pull off! I like that I can swim, shower, workout at the gym knowing this adhesive will keep my CGM on the entire time! Works very well!

Not only do these patches stick on my skin better than other patches I’ve tried, they don’t itch. I have an allergy to most adhesive tapes. But this product stayed on my skin compared to other products that would lift and fall off my skin. I love that these patches are comfortable on my sensitive skin but also stay in place. I will definitely buy these again.

Shipping & Packaging: The item arrived quickly and the package itself was in good condition, which is always a positive. However, the presentation and packaging left much to be desired. The product's presentation was lackluster, and the packaging didn't create a positive initial impression. Additionally, upon opening, I discovered that one of the items was damaged and unable to separate the patch from the information card and dropping the 25 count down by one right off the bat from the count; and the information card being tangled in the sticker used to secure the patch, created a frustrating start.Product Quality: While the product itself is usable, there are a few design issues that impact its overall effectiveness. The sticker, intended to help the adhesive stick to the skin, features a clear skin cover around the sensor, but doesn’t offer any protection over the sensor area instead of leaving it open to rely solely on the adhesive. This design choice affects confidence in the product’s functionality. Despite these concerns, I will continue to use the product until it’s finished.Overall Experience: The swift shipping and intact package were notable positives. However, the issues with card in the packaging and damaging one of the patches, needs some improvement for future growth of the packaging, and suboptimal design diminish the overall satisfaction. Improvements in these areas would significantly enhance the user experience

The colors were fun but the ease and longevity of the product was key

The media could not be loaded. Seriously sticky. I had wanted something that would hold down my much prettier (and more expensive) patch and this did amazing. It didn't budge at all.... which was both a good thing and bad. It was HARD to get off. Very very sticky and pulled on my skin pretty hard in order to get it off. There was a small amount of gray fuzziness that was around the edge of it by the end of the 10 days, but nothing more or less than I would have expected from anything else.I will say, it is NOT waterproof. Water does get in between the device and the edge of the plastic, so when you shower or swim the water will get under it and make the fabric part of the device wet. It takes a while to dry, but it does eventually dry.Update…. These are SERIOUSLY LONG LASTING. I went on a vacation recently and had to do a sensor restart rather than doing a new sensor so the tape had to last 20 days instead of 10. I did prep my skin with skin tac (which is my norm) and it held on for the 20 days and probably could have even gone longer. The edges did get pretty gross but it was just short fuzz and I’m sure some sweat and skin cells, but it kept the dexcom on for 20 days minimum which was amazing (video is at day 15 with 12 of those days being in and out of the pool, at Disney/universal, and all over cali in 100+ temps).

Overall, these work really well for me! I always have issues with the Dexcom adhesives coming loose if I wear them on my stomach, and this definitely fixed that issue!However, when it comes to removing it after 10 days, GOOD LUCK! It clings onto every bit of hair you might have on the insertion site. They also leave a crazy black residue (from dirt/lint build up) that stays around for almost a week unless I scrub it with alcohol pads excessively, shave the area, AND exfoliate with a loofa. It’s also extremely painful to remove.They are a bit difficult to get on at timeS, as the hole for the transmitter is a little too small. I have to have someone help me put it on if my Dexcom is on my arm. I’ve messed around with a couple ways to put it on, and I’ve found the best method is to place the bandage over the dexcom first (don’t remove protective plastic) and then take off one side to stick it in place. After that I take it off the transmitter (still attached to my skin on the side I peeled off) and remove the middle piece/stick it down. And then I take off the third side plastic.Definitely shave the area first if you’re gonna use these, and clean the skin with alcohol to ensure maximum adhesion.All in all, yes, I would recommend. That Dexcom isn’t going anywhere with these! Just be aware that the removal process can be a bit unnerving.Pro: It keeps your dexcom in place. Fits relatively well over the transmitter.Cons: These are near IMPOSSIBLE to get off when it’s time to change your Dexcom location.
