>Skin tac adh 4 oz. Skin-Tac-H

I used Skin Tac in wipe format for six months. I am very happy with it. It leaves my skin lightly tacky and the infusion sets stay in place. No matter what I do, or even if I take a long soaking shower.I decided to try bottled Skin Tac. So far, I am pleased. While less convenient than wipes, it lasts longer. I will keep a box of wipes for travel. Since I am usually at home, this format works well. When applying, wipe the applicator ball against the inside lip of the bottle. Then apply. Otherwise, the applicator swab contains too much and will run. Clean the infusion set site with an alcohol swab before applying this adhesive.[+ 2 years] .. Update Time!! .. The same bottle lasted almost two years at this point. Wow! Less than $15 bucks for two years. Now that's economical!! It's time to order a new supply (and while I'm at it update this review).Application: Use an alcohol swab in an outward spiral from the center of where you want the infusion set to adhere. I usually repeat this twice, trying to thoroughly clean my skin at the site. Allow to dry (just a couple of seconds). Using the applicator swab at the end of the applicator (attached to the Skin Tac lid), apply to the infusion set site. Swipe from the top edge across the length of the site, since it will tend to run a bit when it first touches the skin. Allow to dry (quite a few seconds). Insert the infusion set and press down on the tape to get it to fully adhere to the tacky skin. Allow to adhere quite a while (minutes) before getting it wet.Lasting Power: Do all that and it will last. It easily lasts three days for my infusion sets. I expect it would easily last a full week or more. It lasts through long, soaking showers. I suspect it would last through a tub soaking. It does the job.Cleaning: An alcohol swab is your friend. When preparing my next site (next to the current site) I use an alcohol swab to first clean the new site, then clean the remaining residue of Skin Tac from the old site.No doubt about it. This is a good product, in a very economical format. Enjoy!

As a Type 1 diabetic, I wear a DexCom CGM (continuous glucose monitor) on my stomach, which has an adhesive backing and is supposed to stay attached to my stomach for 7 days before I swap out the sensor and re-attach a new one. Well, the adhesive would sometimes wear off after 6 or even 5 days of wearing it, which was bad because insurance will typically only cover just enough sensors to last a few months, assuming a FULL 7-day sensor cycle. And nobody can afford sensors beyond what insurance will pay for (a 12-week supply runs me over $300 AFTER insurance... the healthcare system in the U.S. is garbage, but I digress).Anyway, my endocrinologist recommended that I apply some of this product to the adhesive to get it to stick on for a full 7 days, and boy does it work perfectly. I've had the same bottle for 2 and a half years, and it still works perfectly. It took a few weeks to get used to the right amount to apply to my adhesive before sticking to my skin; if you use too much of this liquid, for example, then you may end up soaking the adhesive too much, and it actually makes it harder to get it to actually adhere to your skin for some reason. But once I realized that I should only apply a small amount to the edges of the adhesive, it started working perfectly. I never apply my DexCom sensor without it.Just be careful to not let too much of it get on your fingers, because it is very sticky and kind of annoying when I apply it, since I have to physically pat down the sensor adhesive after applying this product in order to get it to stay down. It also definitely leaves some residue, which you can ignore and wait for it to dissolve after a few days of showering, or you can easily remove with an alcohol wipe. I use the remover wipes by the same brand: Skin-Tac-H Adhesive TacAway Remover Wipes, 50 count

Love skintac.. amazing product great value and works awesome to help keep insulin pump infusion sets and dexcom attached to the skin... highly recommended

Superior to other patches, this works very well. And lasts a full 14 days on your CGM. Works thru showers, hot tubs, and daily life.If you need extra adhesive buy this!

I use this for holding tapes in place longer on my babies NG/NJ tubes. Not quite as neat to apply as mastisol, but much cheaper and you get used to working with the applicator pretty quickly. Works about the same as mastisol. You will want to let it dry to tacky (a couple minutes) before applying. Mine was nearly impossible to open fresh out of the box... I think it had adhered itself shut on the way here!! But eventually I got it and have kept it upright since to be sure that doesn't happen again.

2 of my children have Type 1 diabetes. We have been using the wipes for years and decided to try this one instead and we won’t be going back. A little goes a long way. For the price this is amazing. The wipes are 2x the price and you don’t get as many uses from them as you do the liquid!

I wear the 14 day freestyle libre cgm sensor with an adhesive patch over it. I was having trouble keeping them adhered and then I would run short on sensors to my next refill. I was using the wipes from another company but they were not helping so I thought let me give the liquid a try after I read the reviews. I am beyond pleased with the ease of use and the performance. I almost forget I have a sensor on my arm other than to scan when needed. My patches stay adhered the whole 14 days without problems and I don't have any reaction such as itching or rashes like I do from ordinary bandaid adhesive. I have to use a little force to take the old sensor off also. I remove the remaining adhesive with acetone and soapy water. I love this stuff and I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.
