Dexcom G7 & Stelo Over Patches Waterproof, 16 Pack Dexcom G7 Adhesive Patches with Hard Cover, Reduce Compression Lows Shockproof Breathable and Hypoallergenic Up to 14 Days (Bulldogs)

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!

Love these patches! They do not cause any issues with skin at all. I have ordered many times but this time was missing 3 of the patches. This is the ONLY issue I have ever had and even still will continue buying them.

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!

Awesome quality and do not fade after 10 days! Very happy with these!!!

I would buy them again. Because the print is pretty and stick the entire 10 days with little lift up.

I love the plastic protective cover. The sticky “bandaid” type cover not so much, but ai haven’t found other suitable options. They lose the adhesive around the edges and roll up which makes them tacky looking. Trying to pull them off and change out half way through a sensor’s life isn’t fun, but overall I still like securing the sensor and protecting it with the plastic cover.

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.
