Review on 🌈 SIMPATCH Universal Adhesive Patch (25-Pack) – Waterproof CGM Patches with Multiple Color Options: Enhance Comfort and Durability by Eric Surabhi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressed with patches so far

I'm new to using things like Simpatch - just got a CGM (continuous blood glucose meter) as a gift. But the tape that came with the kit failed 3-4 hours after wearing it. So I did a little research and found a lot of positive reviews about Simpatch. So I ordered them to try. At first they gave me different ones than what I ordered - I ordered oblong ones, with a circle in the middle, without glue. Instead they sent me an elongated one with all the glue even in the middle. Since I couldn't wait for the return/reshipment, I decided to just use it. It was a good call! They actually work fantastic! I live in California where the heat is record breaking and I don't have air conditioning. So sweat is a factor. But not for these patches! You're still holding strong! I have a 7 day sensor and am on day 3 so I fully expect them to go the distance. If not I'll try liquid glue to see if I can get a little more time out of it. But I'm optimistic based on performance. At the moment I would highly recommend them, but be careful when ordering. You may not receive the exact version you ordered. Update: Today is day 7 and Simpatch is still working very well! With the exception of a tiny edge that lost its stickiness, the patch stayed in place perfectly throughout the sensor's 7-day lifespan. I highly recommend them for 7 day sensors. If you have a 10 or 14 day sensor, your miles may vary.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Very expensive
