Flexible, stays on, great product
I first heard about this over patch in a Type 1 Diabetics FB group. My son uses them to keep his Dexcom G7 from coming off. They generally last all 10 days that the Dexcom does.These over patches are easy to apply, soft, flexible, and peel off gentler than a bandaid. They also do not irritate his skin, and he has eczema.They are durable and waterproof. My son is a goalie on a competitive soccer team. He runs, dives for the ball, runs into players, gets pushed, and sweats a lot. During the summer he also jumps in the pool over and over and spends hours in the water. The skin grip patch stays on. Occasionally it'll start to peel up on one side, so we just gently remove the whole patch and apply another one.Definitely 5 stars and highly recommend.

Good adhesion
I bought these for my Libre 1. Works fantastically, stays on for 14 days, and saved me from accidentally ripping off the sensors on more than one occasion. My wife was having issues with keeping her transdermal birth control patches on for a week. Since I had enough of these for a year I suggested she try them. They hold her patch on without issue as well. One note, this particular variant with the hole is a little too big for the Libre 3 sensors. I just changed over and will be buying these patches without the hole for my new sensors. Highly recommended overall.

Great Adhesion but be certain to apply it properly and be careful when it comes time to remove it.
These are fantastic. Before I started using these I had near constant issues with my FreeStyle Libre peeling off in my sleep or failing because the sensor wire worked it's way out of my skin. Now that I'm using them the sensor is much more secure and I don't have any sort of failures even though I roll around a lot in my sleep.Application is pretty easy; it's just a quick shower, dry, and then wipe the application spot with some rubbing alcohol before you apply the the sensor and the bandage to remove any excess oil to allow better bonding. I find if you skip the rubbing alcohol wipe it doesn't adhere nearly as well and if you're not careful it will peel off and your sensor will fail early as it's no longer secured well.Removal is a whole different deal though, if you are hairy like I am it's going to hurt something awful and there is no way around it. DO NOT just rip it off though you will take skin with it if you do. I would suggest working it off in the hot shower you're taking before applying the next sensor. I also use a deep clean shampoo on it but that's to make it let go of my body hair more easily and might not be necessary for you. Don't be surprised if it leaves a black residue on your skin that lasts like a week even with dedicated scrubbing. The residue should be gone by the time you switch back to that arm though.

Perfect fit!
I have used various versions of Skin Grip over patches for a couple years. I recently changed pumps and needed new patches. Of course I immediately checked to see if Skin Grip made them.Great Grip, doesn't cause a reaction like most other brands do, and love the selection of colors when I order.

What a tight Seal
For starters I want to share that I’m a Diabetic.. I use a CGM and the adhesive that comes with the infusion sets are worthless . I say this because while I work and sweat the blue / adhesive will and does not last for me. I have had them fall off and not stick while I’m working and then notice the infusion set dangling down leaking insulin.I decided to use this and a product called sure-tax. This works great, it might be overkill using both but it works for me. I recently went to Disney In Orlando and with the heat & humidity I had absolutely no problems with my CGM or infusion sets coming unglued from my body..All I can say from my experience is this is a great product.Thank you

Disappointed that it does not cover the monitor
I assumed these would cover the monitor with clear non-adhesive plastic while the part around the monitor would adhere to my skin. However, this is nothing more than a "donut" type covering. It adheres the skin around the monitor but provides nothing to cover the monitor itself. There is nothing in place that would protect the monitor. From time to time, my monitor gets caught on something and was once pulled out as a result. I was looking for something that would protect it from getting caught, but these are nothing more than a pretty, but useless, ring around the monitor. I didn't know till i opened it.

Can hold for 3 days…Max.
Like the size that fits a Tandem infusion site snugly, unlike the 1” cut outs on others. The material is stretchy and applies well. However, the adhesive cut outs are 4, which are a bit cumbersome to apply without touching adhesive. These start freying, and don’t look tidy. Adhesion is just OK, but 3 days is max. I prefer the clear type, just need a smaller cut out like these.

AWESOME
Love these. These are a great way to be yourself while being diabetic. When I first opened them, I thought they were too small. Then when I went to apply it, I realized they are exactly what I needed in my life. It holds my port on securely so no more pump dropping panic. I love that these come in a variety of different color/pattern options. I will be back for more.
