NOT JUST A PATCHFreestyle Libre 2 Sensor Covers (20 Pack) Lingo CGM Patches for Freestyle Libre 2 - Water Resistant & Durable for 10-14 Days - Pre-Cut in Beige

The first time I wore my CGM it was supposed to last for 14 days. It made it to 7 before the glue gave up and it popped off when it caught on my shirt sleeve. After that, I started using large medical adhesive bandages, but the adhesives caused irritation and were very difficult to remove without pain.These not only protect my CGM from having the adhesive wear off too quickly but also give me peace of mind. I'm not fully comfortable with my CGM since I have a mild needle phobia and worry about it getting scraped off and hurting me. These patches help to protect the edges so that I no longer have a sudden sense of panic when my CGM catches on the edge of a door frame or my clothes.My advice in wearing them is that you might want to shave the area before applying your CGM and the patch so that you don't have to deal with it pulling on hair when it needs to be removed.

A friend let me try a couple of these and I was hooked. Best product for my Libre sensors. Don't even know they are there and it keeps me from ripping out my sensors which I have done with my purse or bra.

These patches are amazing for my freestyle Libre sensor. I’ve purchased many many times

These have saved me a lot of annoyances - seemed I always lost a sensor or two each summer working outside. These patches keep things secure, even in the heat.Only drawback I found was that the adhesive leaves residue that can be difficult to scrub off. That's a problem if you need to change covers before the sensor is finished as you can't scrub aggressively around the sensor without the danger of losing the sensor.

These covers are a little pricier than some others, but there is no comparison when it comes to effectiveness of this product. I tried a lot of different covers to keep my CGM on. I can’t keep one on more than a couple of days without a cover. My skin is sensitive and other covers left my skin raw and irritated. This cover is easy to pull off and doesn’t leave my skin irritated.

I tried 4 different patches before I found these patches, a previous order of the same product number, that worked great and lasted longer than most I previously tried and were so much easier to easier to apply and eliminated waste during application than the one that lasted slightly longer. So I reordered the same ones when I ran out, but the ones I received were different, with the same item number, and they are horrible. The last ones lasted near the ten days advertised on average, but the new ones were bunching up on the first day and they lasted about 2 days average and after the third one bunched, rolled, and pulled the sensor off I went back to the difficult ones.

I ordered this to protect my round FreeStyle Libre CGM, after having used a couple of other standard stick-on patches that caused great skin irritation and tore my skin on removal. I chose this product because it was advertised as hypoallergenic. In use, it does seem to be so — the skin irritation and tearing is no longer a problem. But the patches are not satisfactory, largely because they do not adhere well, and because the design is awkward.The adhesive on these disks does not cause irritation, and is much more gentle on the skin than that of other patches. The red rashes and skin tearing resulting from other patches have ended. However, the glue is so weak that the patches quickly start to peel off. Other patches could last the full two weeks of the monitor's use; this one goes less than a week, and the edges of the patch start to curl up within a day or two. They can be worn in the shower, but that seems to hasten their failure to remain adhered. Their "10+ Days" claim is nowhere near accurate. They're also a little more expensive than other patches, which would not be so bad except that I'm using 1.5 - 2x as many for a 2-week period.Finally, the shape is odd. They have a 3-part peel-off covering over the glue on the back of the patch: two strips around the outside edge, and an elongated one in the middle. When you remove all three, the entire back of the patch is covered with glue. Most other patches designed for CGMs have a glue-free section in the middle, to go over the monitor itself and keep from sticking to it and possibly pulling it out if you remove the patch. The instructions for these tell you to leave the paper covering in the middle on, and glue the patch down only around the edges, if you want to avoid sticking it to the monitor. This means you would have the shiny paper covering left on the middle of the patch, on the underside, after you stick it to your skin. This is very awkward, and doesn't really work. The patch itself is designed to work with both the round FreeStyle monitors and the oblong Dexcom ones, thus doubling their market without producing two different patches. This results in the triangular patch with the off-center middle section. This is awkward to put on and center over the monitor disk (I am using the round FreeStyle disks), and, if you choose to leave the circle-on-an-oval center paper section on, means you have to orient it exactly (for Dexcom) or have the paper sticking out uselessly on two sides of the round disk (for FreeStyle), if you can even get it centered properly. In short, the design tries to fit two differently-shaped monitors, and isn't easy to use for either.When I am done with my first order of these (soon, since they fall off so quickly!), I will look for another solution. They deserve credit for being truly skin-friendly, but the design and application is dysfunctional.

This is my preferred daily cover for my Libre Freestyle because it is not hard on my skin when I remove it. The adhesion is perfect for daily showering but it only lasts about 4 days for me and the edges start to lift. I do not feel it is great for extended water activities - I use a different brand that has much better adhesion but is also kind of hard on my skin. So if you are looking for something that will keep your sensor in place (I like to knock into doorways apparently) but not remove a layer of skin, this patch is a great option.
