This overlay for the Dexcom G6 is amazing!!!!! I have used Rockadex, Grifgrips, Stayput, KT tape, and tegaderm. This is the best of all. I was a little disappointed by the packaging, but then brought myself back down to reality…who really cares, right? So, I open the little zip loc baggie and count the patches. You know, confirming just like you do when you get a 10 piece nugget from McD’s because they BETTER NOT short you…it was like Christmas! I was delighted to find 21 patches instead of the advertised 20. Initially, I was going to write to inform them, but then I tried putting one on. The first one? Ruined like the very first pancake before you get the temperature “just right.” So, I chalked the extra one up to a complimentary “practice patch.” Well, I am a certified pro now. No issues with applying, and they STAY ON WITHOUT IRRITATION FOR 10 days. Will DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY BUY MORE!!! If your skin is sensitive to even the smallest thing, try these patches! I was weary because lots of things claim to be “hypoallergenic”, but these truly are. Good luck, fellow Dexcom Warriors!!!!!

As the headline indicates, I’ve been wearing the Omnipod system for 11 years, and Dexcom for 7 years – so I’ve got a good bit of experience with these pieces of equipment. I’ve been using skin-tac for my Dexcoms virtually since I began using the system, and this product is a great compliment. So far, I’ve continued to use skin-tac as I did before (apply the site without skin-tac, wait a few days for the inevitable deterioration of adhesion, apply skin-tac to re-adhere); however, now I will also throw one of these patches on top of the site after the first use of skin-tac on the site. I have found that initial use of skin-tac works well, but subsequent applications cause the adhesion material to roll up and off the skin. For me, this patch helps to hold down the material on to the skin after the initial application of skin-tac. Very happy with size, comfort, application process, removal (+ related skin cleanup), and overall adhesion. Will likely purchase again in the future.
I was not reimbursed in any way for this review, but hope it helps other Dexcom users find something to help maintain healthy glucose readings!
User Three: ☆☆☆☆☆AWESOME ADHESION NEVER FALL OFF!
I have search high and low for a dexcom patch that would stay on with every day showering and pool use. This is the first patch that i have found that does this. I have never even had an edge start to curl. These patches flex with your skin and you don’t even know you are wearing one. They stay on the whole 10 days. I shower every day sometimes twice a day and swim everyday and I have never had any issue with this patch. Finally peace and comfort in knowing im safe. Thank you for developing such a wonderful product! Picture above is at day 10 of wearing.
User Four: ☆☆☆☆☆So Easy To Put On By Myself
I am so happy with my new adhesive patches for my Dexcom 5 !!! YaY… Ever since I have worn a VGo, I have needed some kind of adhesive to keep these gadgets on myself, wait even since I had my first insulin pump,,, going back years ago, I lost that while I was at work a few times just bumping into stuff. But the problem started with the VGo thingy.. which gives insulin resistant people small doses of fast-acting insulin every minute and no long lasting insulin… but the thing did not stay on at all!! Especially in the summertime in the Texas heat.
These things are super duper adhesive! And CLEAR. The others were creepy skin colored and they all peeled up at the edges and took on the color of your clothing, so they looked dirty all of the time. So as far as these things could be fashionable, they are.
Great idea, thanks for producing it!!!
