SIMPATCH – Adhesive Patch for Dexcom G6 with Strap (25-Pack) – Waterproof Adhesive, CGM Patches – Multiple Color Options

We all know the Dexcom adhesive sucks. IT SUCKS. Especially if you sweat at all. But these work really well for me! I love the "seatbelt," as I call it, that wraps over the transmitter- I have another pack of simpatch patches without the strap, and these are MUCH better.I love how soft these are, as well.One suggestion- make more "nude" colors, because skin comes in many colors. If you already have more, ignore this. I'm not doing research right now.and one other thing- I do think the price is a little ehhhhhhh. You can't avoid this with patches, which I think is highly unfair, because DON'T WE, AS DIABETICS, SPEND ENOUGH ON OUR HEALTH CARE/DEVICES/ UGH????? CUT US A BREAK???????? A GIANT BANDAID DOESN'T NEED TO COST THIS MUCH???? (and that's my short rant).These are also great if you know the secrets on how to extend your sensor's life (highly recommend, btw), as there is NO WAY for that original sensor adhesive to last longer than 10 days.GOODBYE DIABETICS, I LOVE YOU ALL, MY FRIENDS!

I was really happy with this product at first. Made it past day 5 of wearing a Dexcom with our 4 year old. Then day 7 and finally day 10! Thing about it is doesn’t matter how long you wear it if you wash you will get water trapped in. Doesn’t matter if you air or towel the patch dry. You will get a rash. My 4 year old has scabs and rashes all over from both this patch and the patch for the omnipod. Cannot recommend this product. I’ll be sticking to the over patch by Dexcom and Tegaderm.

It starts to fray and unstick in 4-5 days, especially if you let the shower water hit it too much.I have tried to overlap layer 1 with a new 2nd layer over the fraying edges, but that only lasts a few more days. I've gone through 3 of these inside of 10 days and they all fell off on the 10th day.It also takes hours to dry after a shower.Worst worthless product I have ever purchases.

This works well and protects sensor patch from usual bumps etc.I do wish perforations in the center section were better. Have found best way to install is to peel off paper in center then place over sensor, then remove paper backing from one side and “wipe” on—no wrinkles. Repeat other side. No wrinkles equals no water leaks.Removal. Use scissors to cut center strap over transmitter and remove transmitter. The peel off patch and sensor patch. Use adhesive removal swipe to clean up skin and transmitter. Then alcohol wipe on both skin and transmitter. Ready to reinstall!

My g6 sensor always starts to come unglued by day 5. Simpatch has kept mine on after a restart from day 5 to day 21. Just make sure you run your fingers over it for a minute to warm it up it will stick longer.

My initial impression of these was very good. I liked how easy the Simpatch was to apply over my Dexcom G6, and I thought the overall construction was a bit more comfortable than the  Flexd patches  I had been using before. The center strap also seemed like it might hold the transmitter a bit more securely.As I usually do with overpatches, I applied a layer of  Skin-Tac  around my sensor before applying the Simpatch. And for the first day, I was sure Simpatch had won me over from Flexd. And then I took a shower...While I'm used to the Flexd patches taking a while to dry, the Simpatch seemed to take well over an hour. And once it dried, almost a third of the patch had completely lost adhesion. With a little more Skin-Tac, I was able to get it back on, but over the course of the week, this was becoming a ritual. Take a shower, wait a few hours, apply more Skin-Tac.The Simpatch did hold together better than the Flexd patches do, but after being reinforced with Skin-Tac daily, that isn't a big surprise. Comparatively speaking, the Flexd patch will fray a bit on the edges, but stays in place with Skin-Tac for a full week. So I was disappointed to find that I was barely getting a day out of Simpatch.

These are great. They are strong and held the Dexcom in place after hours in the pool. Definitely recommend it.

The stretch these have definitely helps putting them on, but they aren't terribly sticky. The edges didn't stick very well when I put it on, and I've had it on for 3 days now, and its peeling up quite a bit. Make sure when you put them on that you rub them, because I believe they are heat activated. The strip across the top works REALLY well to hold my dexcom better, I just wish they would stick better! I would rather have them stick more and be harder to remove at the end of the 10 days than have them peel off sooner.
