Omnipod Adhesive Patch with Strap, CGM Tape, Tan, 25-Pack | Waterproof Adhesive

So, I have severe ADHD among other things that can make me forgetful. This most recent pod change I had apparently forgotten to take the covers off the sticky side of my omnipod before placing it. Note: I place the over-patch on the pod before putting the pod on my skin. For the full 48hrs I am prescribed to use a pod, this over-patch With no help from the pod adhesive, while I was deeply active and moving house in the summer heat Kept my pod not only in place, but WORKING PERFECTLY not a leak nothing. I've got an irritation bump the size of a large spider bite, and the spot is itchy as all hell, but that is most definitely user error on my part. I doubt it would work this way on every placement, but in this instance it absolutely save my rear!

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 just this past summer and we've been doing the rounds of patches and adhesive helpers, goo removers trying to find what works for her. She's a varsity volleyball player and has practice and/or a game almost every day, so adhesion quality and durability are the most important factors for her. She's had Omnipods yanked off, fallen off, and insurance is not so willing to replace them because of sports or accidents. With these patches, she's finally been able to go the full 3 days with the Omnipod in place, with no errors, and her trainers do not have to do extra wrapping with sports tape during the games anymore. She does use a band-like cover just to keep it stable with all the jumping and diving but these have worked great. She says they hurt a little coming off because the adhesive is so strong, but she prefers that to those that sweat off or don't support the weight of the Omnipod at all. She also suggests being prepared to use an extra or two while you're learning how to put them on. She doesn't cut the band across the middle, she sticks the band on first and stretches the rest of the patch around the Omnipod. She also uses a silicon pod cover that she says helps it feel secure. Anyway, great product, she recommends 100 percent after all the trials and tribulations! Her only wish? That they came in a black option. We can't find that option anywhere.

They work well, but adhesive is irritating my skin.

It is very hot and humid in Mississippi during the summer. These adhesive patches keep my Omnipod insulin pump attached to me through sweat, rain and water. They aren't too bad to remove and seem to find the balance of keeping my pod attached and not damaging my skin. They do pull hair but this can't be avoided.

I use Sim Patch with both with my Omni Pod’s and my Dexcom G6 CGM. The style of this particular over tape is unique and very beneficial in that there is an additional strap that sticks around the device that you’re wearing. Wearing old fashion Omni Pod over tapes without the center strip is not nearly as conducive to secure a device for long term wear. In the past I have accidentally ripped a few Omni Pods right off my body. I can be a little rough sometimes I forget that I even have a insulin pump device type on my body. IE:Toweling off after a shower pulling my shirt off or pants down wherever I have it placed the device. It may get caught by something that just pull it off my skin. These can be very expensive mistakes when you consider the cost of an Omni pod or a Dexcom G6. After I started using the Sim Patch tape, I’ve had no problems and Have not ripped anything off my body by accident. I feel more confident when taking a shower or going swimming or any physical activity that I may do because I know the pod or CGM is securely on there. The Dexcom G6 needs to stay on for 10 days and I live in a very hot climate which is not conducive to any adhesive staying on for very long. So, for maximum hold, I use Skin Tac as a prep for the Sim Patch. If placed right where it needs to be, the Sim Patch isn’t coming off until you want to take it off. Considering its purpose of holding high dollar medical electronics to your body, the price is extremely reasonable. And I must change my Omnipod out every two days. Which by that, I mean that I go through more Sim Patchs than most people. Putting it on your body May be a little tricky especially depending on where you put the device. My spouse helps me place the Sim Patch as it needs to be. I highly recommend this product for anyone who need a secure over tape for the Omnipod or the Dexcom G6.

I’m disappointed in these. I’m giving them 3 stars because they do their job. They stick tight and hold my pump in place. The problem with them is the paper backing is perforated but not in any way for you to take the back off piece by piece. So you are required to take the whole back off in order to apply the patch. That is a huge problem when you put it on. You have to maneuver in a way that it doesn’t fold into itself and ruin the patch. Also, the patches smell like processed glue. The color is nice, but I will not be buying these again.

I love the adhesion and these are the only overlays that work for my son (4 y/o) who is super active. My only complaint is I wish there were more colors! He loves to choose his color, but there are only 3 colors listed and no multipack. It is hard to find overlays that have an adhesive strap and the ones that do not have it raises the edges of the pod on his tiny arms and end up ripping off or require tape/coband to keep on. I did find that inserting the pod first and then applying the overlay did not go well and was hard to do. But I found that putting the overlay on the pod during the set up process helped a lot especially since he fights me. Perfect every time! Love the center perforated lines on the strap for set up the way we do it. Centers perfectly without folding over and it is easy to adjust on the pod. No need for stretching when removing the outer adhesive paper either. He has super sensitive skin (allergies and eczema) and breaks out with almost every overlay/device adhesive even with remover, but with the remover and this adhesive, he does not break out or does not break out as bad. Above all else, the price vs how many come in the pack and quality of this product is actually reasonable. Literally my only complaint is lack of colors especially for children who like to express themselves and feel like they have a say during this process.

These actually work if you have an omnipod 5. I’ve tried a few different kinds to no avail. Worth every dime.

Great service and good quality product

Good quality

Kesinlikle tutuş özelliği muhteşem

This works well for extended time in water swimming, etc. I applied Skin Prep, Pod, then SIMPATCH. Pod was applied to back of upper arm so I also covered patch with a Lycra like armband by DIABAND. Very pleased.

Très bon service
