Review on ๐Ÿฉน 55 Pack of Freestyle Libre Adhesive Patches for Freestyle Libre Sensor Covers - Transparent Waterproof Patch with Clear CGM Overpatch Tape, Long Lasting up to 14 Days, No Hole by Mike Mitchell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't work for me.

On the first day it feels like having a sticker on your hand. Not uncomfortable, but you definitely know it's there. Over a two week period, it begins to flake off around the 4th to 5th day. It lasts a full two weeks if left alone, but the edges are high and it looks very sticky. Makes others want to do it for me. But the main reason for 2 stars is that it irritates my skin. I've never had an allergic skin reaction to glue. I've been using them for the last 3 or 4 probes and my skin is getting worse and worse: itching, redness, rashes. The first picture shows the area after I've just removed the patch from my hand. The second photo was taken 2 weeks ago when I changed the sensor and you can still see the outline of the area because the rash hasn't fully healed. I hate putting a new band-aid on an area that's almost healed just to get it upset again. Maybe I'll try a different product.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Minor blemishes
