Skin Grip CGM Sensor Patches Compatible with Medtronic Guardian (20-Pack), Waterproof & Sweatproof for 10-14 Days, Pre-Cut Adhesive Tape, Continuous Glucose Monitor Patch, Clear

I absolutely love the Skin Grip Adhesive Patches for my Medtronic Guardian 4 CGM! These patches have been a game-changer for me. I’ve struggled in the past with keeping my CGM securely in place, but since I started using these, it stays on for the full 7 days of battery life without any issues! The adhesive is incredibly strong—I've had no worries about it peeling off, even during workouts or showers. When it’s time to remove the patch, I’m always amazed at how sticky it still is after a whole week! Plus, I’m a big fan of the patterned designs. They add a fun touch to my CGM and make it feel a bit more personal. It’s nice to have a bit of flair while managing my diabetes. Overall, I highly recommend Skin Grip Adhesive Patches to anyone using Medtronic, Libre, or Eversense CGM devices. They really do make a difference in both functionality and style!

I am happy to have found these patches. So far, they help me stay aware of protecting my sensor so it doesnt pop off my arm during the 14 day use. So far, even after a few bumps on the sensor it has stayed in place. After reading reviews with concerns about patch sticking to the freestyle sensor i have a few suggestions for less stressful usage and possibly increasing the life of each patch.. 1. Exposure to water seems to cut down the life of the patch. I have had success keeping the patch on for the 14 day life of my freestyle sensor. I do protect my patch in the shower by applying a larger sheet of GLAD PRESS 'N SEAL over the patch to tent it from the water. Its not perfect but it has helped cut down exposure to water. It may take some experimentation to find what works best for you. 2. To prepare for smoothly applying the patch, lay patch on a flat surface, then fold out three of the four paper patch covers so the tips extend beyond the edge of the patch. The revealed space on the patch is just larger than your sensor. Pull off the 4th paper flap and cut it down into a circle the SAME size as your freestyle sensor. Do this to keep the patch from adhering to your sensor. (If your circle is larger than the sensor, the edges of the paper disk may be uncomfortable on your skin.) Center the glossy, paper circle you just cut out on the revealed area of the patch. Now when the patch is applied over your sensor the patch will cover and hold your sensor in place... but the patch will not stick to your sensor -- just to the circle and your skin.) Apply the patch: Center the patch's paper circle over the sensor on your arm and press on your arm. Then slowly pull on each of the three 'tips' for a smooth patch application. (After applying the patch I cut the other three paper flaps into circles for future use.) So far i'm pleased. I've used the patches for a couple of months now.

Great product. Holds my glucose monitor for 15 days, with never a single problem. Still hurts like hell when I have to take it off. That's a good thing

Update on 19 April 2022: I just removed my first Skin Grip to change the sensor after one week and I am STOKED! I will NEVER go back to the oval tape! I added pics of the site with the Skin Grip halfway removed, completely removed, and after the sensor and transmitter were removed! I didn't even need to solvent wipes and there is ZERO skin irritation where the Skin Grip was!!! I also attached a pic of the area where I had oval tape from FOUR weeks ago so you can see the remainder of the skin irritation healing ..I applied Neosporin after washing the site post removal and applied lotion EVERY day since to help my skin heal. After removing the skin grip, there was no evidence of any water seeping in either...through 5 showers and one bath (just to test water submersion for more than thirty minutes)...this product is a MUST for CGM users; especially for those of us with super sensitive skin! Pics left to right: after first application of Skin Grip, oval tape site removal after 4 weeks, Skin Grip halfway removed after 1 week, Skin Grip completely removed after 1 week, sensor removed under Skin Grip after 1 week to show irritation from CGM sensor adhesive only - no irritation or skin damage from Skin Grip. Just arrived and I'm super excited! The oval tape that comes with the Medtronic Guardian sensors is hit and miss and a lot of times, water still finds its way underneath the whole sensor and oval tape - this is SUPER irritating as I have super sensitive skin. I'm using the Skin Tac wipes...I read other reviews and I'm not willing to risk applying without the Skin Tac since these are kind of expensive. It was relatively easy to apply and I got it in with no bubbles. We will see how it holds up under water and sweat and I will add to the review in several weeks after I've had time to use 2-3 of these. And yes, they are a little on the larger side, so you may want to trim them down some, depending on where you apply your sensor and transmitter.

I’m super allergic to almost every skin adhesive out there; we even joke that I have princess skin! But this product didn’t irritate me at all. It held in place and would have lasted longer if it wasn’t time to change my sensor. I will say it got loose at one point but re-adhered when water was applied. Well worth the money!

These patches stay in place once applied. If you clean the area with alcohol, let it dry, then follow the application instructions, you shouldn’t have a problem. They do fray around the edges after a few days, but they don’t lift. You can quickly and easily trim the frayed edges if they bother you. These patches stand up to sweat and water well. They last the life of your device without issue. The Chocolate color pictured is very accurate also. Just note that it’s very hard to remove the patch without the device coming also because they stick VERY well. This is the best fabric type patch that I’ve purchased for my device. The pictures are after a week of the patch being applied.

I've tried other products, that didn't hold up as well as Skin Grip and this is far better than those! I used the ones that had a hole cut out for the sensor (Dexcom G7) and I ended up losing several sensors bc they easily were knocked off, pulled off, or were sweated off. I've used this brand over patch with two sensors now and am thoroughly impressed! I'm not as worried about getting it wet or sweating in this 90°+ weather in July! The first picture is after 4 days of sweating, showering, and being in water! Some fraying but we'll work the security of my sensor!! Edit: This patch stayed in place for the full 10 days, it frayed but didn't budge!! I'm very pleased and impressed! I've lost sensors using other patches, this one stuck it out through heat, sweat, humidity, and water!!

These stay wet for some time after showering. The adhesive causes skin irritation that lasts long after rotating patches. The patches are larger than necessary. I thought that I would give these a try because the brand that I was getting isn't available for some reason. I do not care for these and will try another brand

I have been using the Skin Grip brand for about 2 years now. They rebounded about a year ago (I think) and it was by far the best offering on the market. I was finding that I could keep a single cover on for the while two weeks, even going into the pool fairly regularly. BUT....they have changed something. Whatever the adhesive/glue was that worked so well, and it has been replaced by some kind of chemical weapon that's probably been banned by the Geneva Convention. Not only did the first patch I tried on from the new pack fail to stick (and it turned out it was almost completely dry!) the second patch then caused what you can see in the pictures. I can't say that the original skin tone patches have been affected in the same way, but I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about these patches... STAY AWAY!!

Skingrip patch is the best I’ve tried; No irritation, no glue residue, and removal is effortless without pulling hair or skin. It stayed perfectly secure through multiple showers across the full sensor lifespan. It only comes off when I intentionally peel it away, which says everything about its reliability.

Tried everything to get my Guardian 4 Sensor to stay on through intense HIIT workouts and nothing else has worked. Glad I saw these patches recommended on here as these are great. No irritation and hold the sensor in place. Would like different colours to choose from now please.

Muy bueno

Great Product
