Patches for Dexcom G7, Stelo - 20

The Lexcam adhesive patches work great for the Dexcom G7 sensors. This is the second time that I have ordered this product after I found them. They shipped and arrived quickly. I got the clear patches because I don't want them to be seen. They fit well and are waterproof. I have never had one ripping or pulling off when accidentally bumping it like getting out of the car or scuffing it on a wall. They are pretty easy to take off when you have to change the sensor. I highly recommend this product. It has been a real sensor saver.

Yes, patience essential for the initial placement. Subsequent placements become easier. These adhere very well, lasting ~15 days, despite summer heat and daily showers. I prefer the clear covers so they are less apparent under lightweight clothing. No skin irritation noted (pale skin). Adhesive removal pads or GooGone easily removes any residue. NOTE: While appreciate the foresight, convenience & cleanliness of each provided in an individual Ziplock-type bag (to maintain cleanliness/avoid backing strips from peeling away while in depths of swim bags/ wallets/purses, probably), it does seem a bit costly to package them as such (maybe individual, thin waxed paper packets?). Highly recommend for adhesion with minimal residue, inconspicuousness when in place, value for money and excellent application guidance.

We use these for my husband’s insulin pump site , every time we change the cartridge and tubing . It works perfectly and stays in place for the 3 days after each change.

-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

I have good luck with these. They don’t irritate my skin. They DO stick really well. The last sensor I removed had one of these on it. I will say that I was in a hurry when I put it on and didn’t trim my tummy before I applied the sensor and this over patch. Oh boy. That was painful to remove. Lol. But that’s a good thing. I do tech service for a company that makes adhesives/glues. So I should know better than to apply an adhesive patch (that can last for 10 days on human skin) over hair. I usually trim (and I’m not very hairy) before I apply these. And normally they peel off - taking a little effort, with no pain and no damage to the skin. But fair warning! They will pull hair that is longer than about 1/4 inch (5 or 6 mm). I’ve had no problem with them causing irritation. They stick well. They are easy to apply (they do include instructions - if you don’t read them and don’t get it right, that is YOUR problem. Don’t write a bad review because you don’t read.) I will continue to order these.Now, one thing I know from having done tech service in adhesives for 25 years is that not everyone reacts to things the same way. That is NOT the fault of the patch manufacturer. If your skin develops a rash when it comes into contact with this adhesive, that is unfortunate, but NOT anyone’s fault. It doesn’t mean this is a bad product. It just means it isn’t the right product for you. For all the people claiming it’s a poorly designed product, that’s like someone who is allergic to peanuts saying that peanuts are poison. No, they aren’t. That’s just the way things are. Sadly, no company can figure out what will work for every single person on the planet. They have to do the best they can to make a product that bonds well to most people’s skin, and doesn’t irritate or harm most people’s skin. If you aren’t “most people,” that is an unfortunate circumstance, but at the end of the day, it is YOUR problem and not anyone else’s. Don’t be so ego-centric to rant over what a “horrible” product it is and maybe keep someone (like myself) from being able to use these helpful over-patches. Just say they didn’t work for you, state why, and move on. But if you are like me, and probably 90% or more of the rest of the population, these are a great over-patch that does exactly what it claims it does.

They work really well. They don't peel off after a few days.
