Perfect fit!
I have used various versions of Skin Grip over patches for a couple years. I recently changed pumps and needed new patches. Of course I immediately checked to see if Skin Grip made them.Great Grip, doesn't cause a reaction like most other brands do, and love the selection of colors when I order.

Great Adhesion but be certain to apply it properly and be careful when it comes time to remove it.
These are fantastic. Before I started using these I had near constant issues with my FreeStyle Libre peeling off in my sleep or failing because the sensor wire worked it's way out of my skin. Now that I'm using them the sensor is much more secure and I don't have any sort of failures even though I roll around a lot in my sleep.Application is pretty easy; it's just a quick shower, dry, and then wipe the application spot with some rubbing alcohol before you apply the the sensor and the bandage to remove any excess oil to allow better bonding. I find if you skip the rubbing alcohol wipe it doesn't adhere nearly as well and if you're not careful it will peel off and your sensor will fail early as it's no longer secured well.Removal is a whole different deal though, if you are hairy like I am it's going to hurt something awful and there is no way around it. DO NOT just rip it off though you will take skin with it if you do. I would suggest working it off in the hot shower you're taking before applying the next sensor. I also use a deep clean shampoo on it but that's to make it let go of my body hair more easily and might not be necessary for you. Don't be surprised if it leaves a black residue on your skin that lasts like a week even with dedicated scrubbing. The residue should be gone by the time you switch back to that arm though.

Flexible, stays on, great product
I first heard about this over patch in a Type 1 Diabetics FB group. My son uses them to keep his Dexcom G7 from coming off. They generally last all 10 days that the Dexcom does.These over patches are easy to apply, soft, flexible, and peel off gentler than a bandaid. They also do not irritate his skin, and he has eczema.They are durable and waterproof. My son is a goalie on a competitive soccer team. He runs, dives for the ball, runs into players, gets pushed, and sweats a lot. During the summer he also jumps in the pool over and over and spends hours in the water. The skin grip patch stays on. Occasionally it'll start to peel up on one side, so we just gently remove the whole patch and apply another one.Definitely 5 stars and highly recommend.

AWESOME
Love these. These are a great way to be yourself while being diabetic. When I first opened them, I thought they were too small. Then when I went to apply it, I realized they are exactly what I needed in my life. It holds my port on securely so no more pump dropping panic. I love that these come in a variety of different color/pattern options. I will be back for more.

Do not buy.
Rubbish…. Not easy to apply and lasted two days before the edge has started lifting.

Not quite right.
OK. So having the hole makes it easier to see where it's going, when applying solo. The backing in quadrants does make it easy to place and stick that one quarter and then the second - perhaps do the last two quarters at the same time (if you stick the first 3 quadrants, it's almost impossible to reach the inner edge of the backing for the fourth quarter - so do the last 2 at the same time).That's all good and I got the first one on entirely without any wrinkles. BUT, the center hole is too big. If I can get it PERFECTLY centered, it will just barely cover the outer part of the white plastic bit of the sensor. More likely, it will be a fraction off-center and one side will only cover the adhesive tape and not the sensor itself. So it really isn't going to provide as much protection as a patch with no hole or a smaller hole.I have gone right back to a hole-less patch and cutting a small, untidy hole in it for drainage and aiming purposes.Sorry. I wanted to love this. But it needs a hole maybe 0.25 inches smaller or even a bit more.

Stretches to fit
We weren’t quite sure that this would work for my brother’s T-Slim X2 infusion set, but it stretches just enough to fit. The adhesive is perfect; it holds through his sweat and activities (even showers), but comes off fairly easily with rubbing alcohol and a bit of elbow grease. The design is as shown. They are a little pricey, but worth it. The material is similar to a thin canvas and will not rip or fray.To apply, we set up the infusion set, stop the insulin delivery and detach the tubing. Then we apply this patch around the infusion site, reattach the tubing, and resume insulin delivery.
