Libre 3 Sensor Covers Waterproof, Patches for Libre 2, Dexcom G7 + Other Sensors & Devices

This set of 20 fabric patches comes in 4 colors. I actually do prefer these type of fabric patches versus the film type as I have much better performance with them. While the fabric patches are never truly waterproof (despite this product's claim as well), they are water resistant and do a good job of protecting my Libre Sensor 3. However, in the shower or in a pool, they are definitely pretty soaked but do a decent job of drying quickly. With all that being said, after around the 7-day mark, they all start fraying pretty badly. Hence, I always use two during the 14-day time period.These particular patches do fray as well, and the adhesive is actually weaker than the normal ones I use. I had trouble with the edges actually staying on the skin for several days. But the thing I disliked the most is that the adhesive is across the whole backside. The last thing I want is when I have to replace the patch during the 14-day time frame is that patch actually sticking to the sensor and trying to pull it off at the same time. That is a big no-no for me, and I will continue using the many out there that do not have the adhesive in the center where the sensor is.

The colors of these covers are nice, the quality is not bad, it is hard to peel the sticker of the cover off but once I put it on skin, it stays on the place and keep the sensor cover for a week.

I would rate these 4.5 stars if I could as the only negative which is mostly just a specific Libre3 issue as there is no vent hold punched in to them but I can not really hold that against them - I just cut a small hole with a pair of scissors before applying. The backing comes off in a way that makes application simple in 2 parts like a band-aid compared to some other brands that have the backing cut into so many smaller pieces it is impossible to apply without getting the ends stuck to each other. They adhere well and show no signs of coming lose after several showers (I have not tried them in a pool yet) but they should easily adhere at least the full 14 days to match the sensor. They are rather large compared to the Libre3 itself but it makes it more universal to fit larger sensors and gives a bit of extra surface area to stick to your arm. I would easily recommend these over a few of the other brand options. The colors are nice as well (I got the blue/blue camo pack) and the quality of materials is really nice as well. Very flexible and stretches ( the way it should) on the skin while being active. Pretty sure there is no way it would rip off accidentally even if you were to catch yourself on a door frame. I expect to need to use an adhesive remover or baby oil to remove it when the time comes to change sensors.

I have now had the opportunity to try number of patches offered by this seller.. In each case, the cover began to come loose along the other edge within one to two hours. I find that to keep the sensor securely in place, I would have to change out the cover multiple times a day. This brought about another problem. The one location where the cover securely attached was the sensor itself. When all around the sensor the cover was loose, on the sensor itself it was tight. Trying to free it with one hand to replace the patch, I actually pulled the sensor from my arm. I have used two other similar products. This is by far the least helpful. My recommendation is to look elsewhere.Original - I wear a diabetic blood glucose sensor on the back o my arm. Although the sensors are intended to last for two weeks it is seldom that the full fourteen days go by before the sensor has been displaced from my arm. Going through a doorway or pulling off a shirt I'll unintentionally catch an edge of the sensor and pull it free. These covers are intended to prevent such occurrences. My first use of one proved to be a disappointment. I cleaned the area I was going to apply the sensor with alcohol hoping to improve the cover's adhesion. What I found when I woke in the morning was that an edge of the cover had begun to pull free. I assume this was due to movement of my arm under the covers. The problem is that with similar covers, that loose edge would catch on clothing or something I passed by and pull the sensor loose. I have little confidence these covers won't do the same. I'll withhold a final judgement until I have gone through several. I'll return when I have a firm opinion.

These do work, but I do not think they are up to par for long term use. I like to change out covers 1-2 times a week so they are always clean, but these have issues making it to a week and retaining the adhesive. TThe positive thing is that since they dont hold great, they are easy to remove and replace with a fresh one, without pulling out the device. I probably would not buy these again but for a quick cover for a few days, these do the job.

I had high hopes for these patches after I applied the first one, which was an aquo colored one. It stayed stuck, for the most part, for the entire 14 days of my Freestyle Libre 2 sensor. I thought that I had finally found a replacement for the patches that I have been using for years, whose quality has gone downhill. I was ready to give it 5 star review, but thought I should try another patch; this time, the blue camo. Well, only about a third of the patch was still on there after 4 or 5 days. Not good! I had to stick one of my old patches on there to keep my sensor from coming off. Fast forward to my third sensor while trying these patches; a dark blue one for this go-round. Well, it started peeling off in less 5han 24 hours, with half peeled off after 9nly 3 days. I am soooi disappointef, as these are really cool looking patches. I think that the reason that these peel off so quickly, once the edges start curling, is that these patches are roughly 2/3 the size of a S8mPatch. The size would be great if they didn't peel so easily. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend.
