FixiC – Adhesive Patches for G6 – 25 Pack Premium Waterproof Adhesive Patches – Pre-Cut Back Paper – Adhesive Patch for G6 – Long Fixation! (Multi-Color)

I have been using these tapes for my Dexcom g6 all summer. I had a kid accidentally “knock” my sensor off at a Waterpark and immediately bought these to help keep them on! The tapes have held up with a lot of water activities, sweating and humid weather. I’m impressed they last as long as they do. My pictures are at day 10 when my sensor expired and as you can see the tape is still holding strong! The edges do fray but that has not bothered me at all. I do use these with “Skin tac wipes” and if your diabetic and haven’t used the wipes, do yourself a favor a try them out! Helps keep sites on longer.

Seriously sticky. I had wanted something that would hold down my much prettier (and more expensive) patch and this did amazing. It didn't budge at all.... which was both a good thing and bad. It was HARD to get off. Very very sticky and pulled on my skin pretty hard in order to get it off. There was a small amount of gray fuzziness that was around the edge of it by the end of the 10 days, but nothing more or less than I would have expected from anything else. I will say, it is NOT waterproof. Water does get in between the device and the edge of the plastic, so when you shower or swim the water will get under it and make the fabric part of the device wet. It takes a while to dry, but it does eventually dry. Update…. These are SERIOUSLY LONG LASTING. I went on a vacation recently and had to do a sensor restart rather than doing a new sensor so the tape had to last 20 days instead of 10. I did prep my skin with skin tac (which is my norm) and it held on for the 20 days and probably could have even gone longer. The edges did get pretty gross but it was just short fuzz and I’m sure some sweat and skin cells, but it kept the dexcom on for 20 days minimum which was amazing (video is at day 15 with 12 of those days being in and out of the pool, at Disney/universal, and all over cali in 100+ temps).

I live in the AZ heat, and I sweat a TON, I work outside and these patches are the only thing keeping Dexcom in business. They keep the patches on much longer than ANY other patch out there and I use them on every single sensor. I use the G6 sensors and this patch will last much longer than the ten days. All I do is clean well with a few alcohol pads scrub are real well, and boom stuck on! It’s hard to remove but I did give that part 5 stars bc I don’t want it to remove easily, duh!

I ONLY use this brand of over patches for my 2 year old diabetic. All the other brand I have tried have fallen off way before they needed too. It is so stretchy when I run out of omnipod over patches I can even use this. They are amazing!

Super durable. I had issues with ones in the past that the adhesive didn’t last. These work wonderful and man they stick!!!!!
