Libre 3 Sensor Covers, Clear, Waterproof, 20 Pack, Strong Hold 15-20 Day

These are affordable and perform exactly as I need them to. Sometimes I do not want the sensor itself covered. Just an extension and protection of the adhesive ring that comes out from the base of the sensor. That's when I go to these. Easy one hand application. You won't need help. Keeps the adhesive edge around the sensor from coming up towards the last few days of wear. I have long curly hair that gets washed and conditioned daily, without these or a full cover the emollients in my hair care products weaken the adhesive. With these my sensors always last a full 14 days. Be aware, these are not meant to protect from hard bumps. You need a reusable cover of some sort under this or another cover tape for that kind of protection. These are sheer and light weight. I don't even feel them there once they are on. Very hard to see it so unlike the decorative style tapes they don't draw attention to the sensor. I'm not sensitive about the device being noticed by others but I don't go out of my way to advertise either. The Libre 3 is especially sensitive to moisture and. heat, so these are great to keep the sensor adhered and still allow the sensor to breath since it is not covered over. The waterproof-ness is that it protects the adhesive backing edge from water loosening, NOT that it keeps water out of the sensor all together. Any water that gets in through the hole on top of the sensor will drain and evaporate out through the hole as will sweat just as the sensor is designed. Can't guarentee for others, but I tend to be adhesive reactive and these have been just fine. No redness or blistering, no itching. They stay on and come off without taking skin when I want them to come off. They also do not take the sensor with them. I. recommend pressing downrightly on. the center of. the sensor as you remove this tape if you need to remove it before the sensor ends as it is stuck to the sensor. adhesive backing along the protruding edges. I have not had a problem, but why tempt fate?

TLDR: works great when you apply at same time as sensor, only mediocre after you’ve had the sensor on for a while. I didn’t get any photos of it as I just did two sensors diagnosticly, but the patch seriously helps. My first sensor started to come off after about a week so I got these patches and stuck one on. It didn’t help much, but to be fair, it tells you to apply at the same time as the sensor. The white part surrounding the freestyle started to come out above the clear patch within a day or two, but it was already peeled up before I put on the clear patch. It still helped some; I think the sensor would have fully come off without the extra patch. For my second sensor, I put them both on at the same time. It worked much, much better. No peeling at all of the sensor. The edges of the patch had some lint, but that only got to be bothersome near the edge of the patch. It happens with the sensor alone, so if it’s going to happen regardless, I think it’s worth it to have the sensor actually stay on. It was actually kind of difficult to get both the patch and sensor off because the adhesive was still so strong. I couldn’t get the residual stickyness off for a couple days, but maybe that’s because I’m just inexperienced with CGMs. Overall, it works really well, and doesn’t cover the sensor at all, only the white adhesive surronding it (like freestyle says to do). Each patch comes in its own little bag, making it easy to take one with you. The paper on it before applying is similar to clear band-aids. Peel off one side so you can apply it, there’s still thick paper on the other side so it doesn’t just ball up will you put it on. After applying, press it down really well, peel off the outside thicker paper, and push down again. Works wonders.

Recently diagnosed and learning a lot I felt very overwhelmed by it all. My first sensor was not sticking well after the first five days. And these are by far the best patches I’ve tried so far. It’s smaller in size which is perfect and doesn’t cause it to scrunch up like other larger sized patches from other brands. The adhesive is very strong and I’ve had zero peeling over the course of 6 days I’ve had it on.

Application is simple. Stays put for the full 15 days. Fits perfectly over the Freestyle Libre Plus CGM. I'm currently on day 10,

In the beginning the cover worked great at protecting the adhesive on the sensor. After replacing it the third time the adhesive on the sensor began to lift and now some of it sticks out from under the cover. To be fair, the pictures show day seven out of fourteen, so that's halfway through the sensor's life. Not bad, I think if the hole the sensor fits through was just a tiny bit smaller it would be perfect! Overall I would recommend this product, at least for first time glucose monitor users like myself!

My doctor gave me a sample of the Libre 3 so I got these to help ensure it stayed on. I've since decided to continue with the Libre 3, but I don't think I'll continue with these patches and am trying a different brand. These stayed on the entire 13 days (I didn't get them until the day after the Libre). It was showing lint around the edges, but no signs of pealing up at all. When it came time to remove the patch I had a very difficult time getting it off, even with two applications of TacAway. I actually ended up bruising my arm, and I do not bruise easily at all. I had previously tried a G7 sample with their included overpatch and had no trouble removing that.

These work great with my Freestyle Libre sensors. The adhesive is very strong and they are clear so they don't appear bulky. I haven't knocked a sensor off since I started using these.

I have tried countless other brands with various results however these are the best adhesive covers I have used they are perfect and stay in place no problem ever 15 days with each sensor. Shower and swim no worries will not peel off.
