Dexcom G7 Over Patches Waterproof 20 Pack - Sweatproof Clear CGM Overpatch

I don’t write reviews very often but wanted to for this product. I was pleasantly surprised. Extremely effective. Sticks really well and came off easier than expected for how well it stuck without leaving pieces of adhesive behind. No skin irritation either. I would definitely buy again. Bought it for my Stelo decomm (also bought on Amazon) after the over-patch that it originally came with started to lift and collect dirt and grime around the edges after 4 or 5 days. This fits perfectly around it. This is the one I will be using from now on.

I found that each pouch is individually in a baggie. The outer layer has a large area to remove. This made it easy to apply the patch. I ran my fingers around the patch and there was a split in the over wrap which made removing it very easy. I like that it is clear.

These are great patches. They are waterproof and will stay on the entire 10 days with my Dexcom 7. These patches are clear which I also like.

Lexcam Adhesive Patches are easy to apply for securing a Dexcom CGM post insertion. Once placed over the device and pressed against the skin, it's not going anywhere. Normal bumps or clothing snags won't risk dislodging the sensor. These patches are transparent and water tight and can be worn with confidence. My issue is that when it's time to replace the CGM, you have to be prepared for a wold of pain. It is seriously very difficult to remove the patch without taking a lot of skin cells with it. Applying baby oil to the patch prior to removal helps to a limited extent, but the process of replacing these patches is exceptionally challenging and downright painful. I have had to stop using them after two CGM replacements because I cannot continue to subject myself to that much discomfort.

I regret I did not buy this brand the first time. BEST to stick, easy to peel off the paper liner. FITS GREAT around the Dexcom. Sticks so well it is a bit hard to get off after day 10.

Highly recommend! My husband uses these patches for his Dexcom and absolutely loves them. His Dexcom does not fall off as quickly as it does without the patch.

I tried couple different types and this one was superior.. I saw another review that said put this one on top of the sticky pad that comes with your Dexcom.. DON'T DO THAT! This is all you need.. it stayed on after sweating and getting wet from showers... I was in the hot tub/pool for a minimum of 6-7 hours during the 10 day period and it took a beating but still stayed on.. granted it was on the back of my upper arm so it wasn't completely submerged the whole time but definitely part of the time.. after the 10 days it was still really sticky and not easy to come off... try to avoid putting soap, lotions, and oils directly on or around the dexcom patch as much as possible.. water is fine.. (HOW TO APPLY SO IT STAYS ON):: I shave/cut hair where Im applying the dexcom/patch.. It is important to make sure the area is completely clean. I used any kind of soap/towel and wiped with alcohol patches.. when applying the decom device i perss firmly and hold it there for 10-15 seconds after it is ejected.. then I gently rub around the edges of the sticky strip that's on the device to make sure it's smooth.. next I apply the Lexcam patch.. NEVER USE THE PATCH THAT COMES WITH THE DEVICE!!! All you want and need is the Lexcam patch.. I tried using both and it didn't work that way.. after you apply the lexcam patch gently rub around it while the paper is still on.. then remove the paper and rub again Making sure it's all smooth.. wait 12-24 hours before you get it wet so it has time to bond with your skin... This is the method I used and it has NEVER failed during the 10 days..

-first one tried worked great and had zero issues; lasted entire 15 days with no problems -second one had some issues, not staying on but ripping by the sensors pad and it would bubble up and tear on sides; next one did the same thing -but never came off, protects extremely well and still way better than what comes with the sensors -so easy to put on and get in place and really don't notice they are there at all -they get VERY itchy though to the point you want to rip it off sometimes, that is becoming a problem and only reason didn't give 5 stars. Could just be my skin perhaps though -overall they are excellent and should work extremely well for many -I leave them on until around 8-10 days then put the Dexcom shipped on on top to keep it from pulling away by the sensor as it has been and that works great so far -hate that the glue leaves that sticky colored spot but is what it is -definitely would recommend though take notice if they itch a lot might need to try another brand. Am only on my 4th one and 50% of the time the itching was bad but got through it
