Review on RockaDex Adhesive Patch Dexcom Black by Greg Mack

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointed best in Adhesive Bandages

Well not much to say other than we are very disappointed in this product. Many of our diabetic friends recommended Rocadex for the Dexcom sensor to my husband. Only the sensor adhesive itself only lasts 7 days. We tried Rocadex and vintage brands at half the price of x. Both had the same flaws, but at least the X brand lasted more days than nothing alone (we got a consistent 8-9 days with the X brand, but still only 6-7 days with Rockadex). Here are the cons I see: 1. This product is stretchy. If you try to gently stick it on the skin, it will stretch and deform. Once it is stretched, you cannot completely cover the sensor's original adhesive, resulting in water infiltration. This is not user error, we tried several times in different ways.2. The backing paper is not scored, so it is very difficult to start peeling off the paper (Class X did not have this problem).

Pros
  • GREAT FOR SWIMMING
Cons
  • Hard to say
