Dexcom G7 Over Patches, 16 Printed Waterproof Dexcom Stelo & G7 Over Patches, 1 Hardshell Cover for Enhanced Safeguard, Breathable, 14 Days Protection with Style (Apple)

I recently upgraded to the Dexcom G7 from the G6 and at first was thrilled they came with their own overpatch. That was short lived when I had to change my sensor for the first time and the adhesive proceeded to rip off my skin and/or severely irritate it. It was so bad I thought I was going to have to go back to the G6, but I had to make the G7 work for at least 2 months until I could refill my G6 again through my mail order pharmacy. A friend of mine suggested a patch similar to this one so I went to Amazon to find some to try. I decided on these because of the design as well as the protective shell that fits over my G7 before I apply the overpatch. I am glad I did! Recently on vacation we swam a lot and applied a lot of sunscreen… all things that I knew would weaken the overpatch early. With the protective shell, I was able to swap out overpatches early with no issue! I suspect without it, the sensor may have stuck to the overpatch and possibly have been removed early. Maybe not though, because even the adhesive on that tiny G7 sensor is rough stuff. I have a hard time getting it off. Regardless, these patches have worked out great! They easily last the full 10 days under normal circumstances. Lots of swimming and sunblock will weaken them. Just a friendly reminder… these will leave tan lines. 😂 Obviously that’s not a complaint, just more of a warning to consider when you are placing yours.

These work well! Easy to place over Dexcom7, patch stays on, the cover gives security against knocking the sensor off. Can shower without any issues. Graphics are precious and they get people talking. I’m an adult but love the fun of them!

Very good patches! I live in an urban area and use public transit where I’m bumping into things a lot. These patches hold up most of the time. I have had a few slowly get peeled off while sleeping here and there, but they do the job most of the time. They do leave behind a residue after, but Goo Gone clears that up.

Love the patches for my Dexcom. Great options and sticks well.

I first tried Skin Grip, but the cost plus the fact that the designs are SO BORING (especially for a toddler) that I went looking elsewhere. But then I had sensors constantly failing and I realized it was because I switched from Skin Grip. Once I went back, sensors stopped failing, but we were back to boring. So I went searching again, and finally found these. They are wonderful! The cost isn't bad and the designs are so much more fun for a three year old. I'd still say the Skin Grips are slightly better quality. They (and the sensors) almost always last the full ten days often without any issues. These often last the full ten days, but I can always tell when we're a day or two off from the sensor expiring because we start having brief sensor alerts (and that doesn't happen nearly as often- at least for us- with the Skin Grip). But all things considered- the design is a big enough deal with trying to do everything I can to make site changes as positive as I can, that I feel it outweighs slightly lower quality. And the quality still vastly outperforms some of the other brands (like Jinyusega, and Not Just a Patch Air- we had terrible luck consistently with those. Which is sad because Jinyusega has some cute patches. I normally don't like to complain about specific companies - but I feel it's important for other parents to know as experimenting with patches can be super expensive). Hopefully this is helpful!

Product is ok I’ve used a whole order of it and I am not satisfied with it. It fringes after about 4 days and it is not as waterproof, if you go swimming or sweat a lot it will come off and will pull the sensor with it. I will say the little cap it comes with has been super beneficial to avoid scraping the glucose sensor off on doors and such, just wish it last the full 10 days I have to keep my sensor on between changes.

I purchased this to try and help me get rid of my low warnings when I am sleeping due to the way I sleep and the location I wear the Dexcom I would get warnings all night long which was frustrating. This has stopped all low compression warnings I was getting and I can sleep without getting constant warnings. It is comfortable to wear, I can't even tell the difference with it vs just the Dexcom on it's own, the over patch it also gives me peace of mind keeping it secure in place and it is waterproof as well. I will be back to buy more once I am out. I recently purchased a variety pack with animal prints on them which was having issues staying on my skin, the company quickly helped with a refund so I could place another order this is a company I will continue to recommend for over patches as they have great customer service and back their product.

I had previously ordered the patriotic ones from this same brand/seller and they were 3 inches diameter with no issues with peeling off but this camo one I ordered is 2.5 inches. I have ordered other similar patches that are small and they do not stay on because they are so small. You would think that half an inch wouldn't make a difference but it does. I'm disappointed in this being 2.5 inches and returning them. I'm really sad about it because the print is what I wanted. I ordered Kooloba ones and they are bigger and stay on.

These are very sturdy, they don’t peel off, they last the full 10 days on my G7. I feel more comfortable with this overpatch as it seems to keep the CGM in place especially when your getting dressed and undressed, I no longer catch the CGM. Great product. The overpatch in the picture is after 5 days and it’s still sticking ver well. There is a bit of fraying on the edges but it’s not peeling off at all.
