Multicoloured Patch

These are a must for anyone who wears a diabetic device. I kept catching mine on doors etc and would rip of off. A very costly thing to do at £80 each. Never had to replace a monitor before it’s run out now as affix one of these straight away. Good quality does not irritate my already irritated skin and stays put for 15 days. Would highly recommend

These are great. I steered away from device covers for so long because they restricted my arm movement. The shape of these mean that they move with my arm so there is no pulling of the Elastoplast when moving and stretching my arm around. I wear these leaving the centre sticky bit ‘in-sticky’.

As a relatively new diabetic user of a CGM, I was keen to get some over-patches because I’m quite likely to bump the device accidentally, as I’m pretty wide shouldered. I liked the look of these because, unlike others, these offered an X-Shape covering over the CGM, gave the option of sticking adhesive to the CGM or not, and some flexibility allowing for greater range of movement. I’ve been very impressed. Although a little difficult to attach on the first attempt, you soon get used to it and apply them faster and more easily each time. They’re a lot easier to put on than the ‘normal’ over-patches that surround the sensor rather than going over it. They seem waterproof - I’ve showered in mine without problems, and they don’t restrict the Bluetooth connection from the CGM to the phone. My only gripe is that one ‘arm’ of every patch has come off after 3-4 days, so I’ve ended up using 3 in 10 days, whereas I expected to use just 1 for each 10 day sensor lifetime. As they’re considerably more expensive than the more conventional over-patches, using them so quickly might make them a monthly expense rather than a 6-monthly one. Two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻 because they are so much better than conventional over-patches.

Updated & rewritten review- Utter rubbish. Longest these have lasted is about 6 days. They're just not fit for purpose. They peel after a few days, and they're supposed to last 2 weeks, same as the tag. At over a pound each, I'd send them back for a refund except I've used more than half the box but I'm only on my 4th sensor. Real shame because the idea is good, but the end result is not. For context, the pink were on for about 6 days, the yellow for around 4, and the beige has been on for only 72 hours, and it'd already peeling. Worst ever purchase on Amazon. The manufacturer is laughing all the way to the bank with these, stamped out of poor quality material, 20 in a box for £25? At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

The product itself is good it sticks better than any other patches i have purchased but i took some sort of reaction to the adhesive. Caused an unsightly rash and a little swelling. I have tried all kinds of patches for pump & sensor and had no similar reactions. The only other issue i had was they also get really grubby right away. Had i not had the reaction i wouldnt have repurchased, too expensive for what you actually get.

These patches are awesome! They stick really well, lots of funky colours and most importantly, for me anyway, you can put them on very easily by yourself

Work well but the markup on manufacturing price is high. Take a while to dry off after a shower even when giving it a whoosh with the hairdryer. As usual anything that has a snifter of medical has a huge price increase.

I bought these as I liked the idea of shaped sensor covers. That is as far as it goes, "an idea", not ideal. However, trying to place a patch on the sensor is awkward, especially with one hand. It is even worse when not using your dominant hand. I've not managed once to get the patch to be central on the sensor despite a guide hole. The arms of the patch are very flexible when backing is removed making them awkward to get straight or avoiding them folding back on themselves and sticking to itself. When this happens the adhesion is lost, which means it doesn't stick to your skin for long. The edges of the patch once on the skin do not stay down well. Within 24 hours, sometimes within a couple of hours, they are unraveling from the skin. I never achieved 2 weeks sensor cover because by day 7 at least one of the arms has completely unstuck itself from my arm. I'm also disappointed that when the edges start to unravel they fray, making the patch look very unsightly. I will not be buying again.

Me encantó el producto, protege el sensor. Te lo recomiendo.

I put these over my Omnipod5 pod to secure the pod from extra movement. They last for the duration I need them for (3 days). They’re perfect! I love the colours. They also contain medical adhesive, so no allergic reaction nor sensitivities for me. Will order again.

This adhesive tape is amazing for securing medical devices. I use it to keep my Omnipod (Insulin pump) from getting ripped off off my body. It does not peel at the edges during a three-day wear period. It withstands my daily showering. I haven't tried it for longer but I'm confident it would last 10-14 days. It is precisely the perfect size and design for the Omnipod 5 that I wear. I love the fun colors and the large variety of colors. They come in a nifty reusable tin box. The middle and the center parts each have their own separate peel strips. That makes it very easy to apply exactly how you want it. This is an excellent, well-thought out product. It sticks so well that when I wear it only three days, it's a bit painful to peel it off. So, this may be too rough to use on a child. On the other hand, the child won't be able to easily pull off the medical device or have it fall off during physical activities. And one could purchase adhesive removers to use. It's comfortable as long as you do not stretch it while applying it. I have not had any reaction so far to the adhesive. I am sensitive to most adhesives and experience skin breakdown at times. Look no further!

Bought these for the Libre 2, for protection during normal daily activities. They work really well, stick is amazing. They last around a week of normal daily activities (including showering and swimming). No way the sensor would last 2 weeks without these. So glad I found them whilst looking for other diabetic supplies.

They work well but not for children, my 3y arm is too small. No issues with adhesive.
