   Stays on and covers well while being cute!
   The adhesive is good, and overall stays on for the length of time my CGM is active. I find it does get loose on the outer edges toward the end, but that works out well so it can be removed without skin irritation.

   Not reliable
   I was super excited about this product but was quickly disappointed! It couldn’t keep up with sweat and humidity here in South Texas and fell off and took my dexcom sensor with it. It failed twice! Both times it took the sensor with it. Not reliable and I didn’t like it. Did however love the coverage. Adhesion 0, durability 0 coverage of sensor 10! Prints could be cuter.

   Stay better than any other patch I’ve tried!
   To start, the colors of these patches are exactly as pictured while the patterns are subtle enough to not take over your whole arm/leg/wherever you wear your cgm.Second, they stay on for longer than any other patch I’ve tried and THEY DO NOT FRAY! Also- the adhesive isn’t irritating to my skin nor does it cause any issues when taking them off. I don’t know what kind of magical adhesive these use but 10/10.Third, they are the perfect size to cover either my cgm or pod.I wouldn’t buy another brand of patch after trying these so I will be buying these again and looking for additional patterns/colors to add to the collection!Thank you for providing a quality product for us diabetics- it is so appreciated.

   Not great, but not terrible
   After trying several different brands of cgm covers, I’ve yet to find one that effectively works. That being said, curad’s version has the potential to be a fantastic cover with some changes to the product. The pros: it’s large size gives the feeling of ample coverage versus other brands that feel as though they barely reach beyond the sensor itself.The material is both comfortable while also feeling durable.The cons: the ADHESIVE! I’ve yet to find a single brand that has a decent and consistent adhesive quality. This one is no different, with the patch either peeling within minutes of application or sticking so ferociously in certain spots that it feels as though a layer of skin is going to come away with it during its removal. I’m realistic in that I know the notion of a sensor cover lasting the full 14 days is most likely a pipe dream that will never come to be, but I do not think its unreasonable to want a patch that will adhere evenly and stay put for at least 2 to 3 days. In conclusion these patches definitely have there flaws but are marginally better than what else is currently on the market.

   Cute design. Everything else was bad.
   I’m new to having a CGM. I noticed that with my last few times wearing it, the adhesive started to give a bit towards the end and it even popped off early once. I found these CGM covers and thought that they might help. Boy was I wrong.Not more than 2 hours and the thing started to peel. When I first put it on, it laid flat. But as I naturally flexed my arm, it started to get crinkles. It’s summer. I stepped outside and I started to sweat. That was the end of the cover.Also, I wore it for two hours and now a couple of days later I have the beginnings of a rash in the locations where the patch was. Funny that this doesn’t happen with the adhesive used on the CGM.This option was cheaper than a lot of other options I saw available, but I thought that Curad was a known bandage brand that I could trust. Curad, either go back to the drawing board on this one, or stick with regular bandages.

   Long lasting and less irritating
   I ordered these to cover my Dexcom because the adhesive on the Dexcom really irritates my skin and doesn’t last very long. It itches so bad and when I scratch it the overlay splits. I have tried many of the expensive sensitive skin overlays and patches, but they all irritate my skin and fall apart before the 10 days are up.These are so much better than any of the options I’ve tried and definitely less expensive. The one I started with lasted the entire 10 days and likely would have lasted longer. It caused very little skin irritation and didn’t shred or fall apart. Plus, they are very cute. I will definitely be ordering these again.

   Cool Patterns – Bad Design For Diabetics
   These patches don’t work for CGM’s. Real CGM patches have a middle portion where you can peel off a sticker or choose not to, leaving the middle NON-adhesive is very important to keeping a CGM stable and attached through its entire cycle. With these patches, they’ll just stick right to your CGM and push and pull it every which way as your skin moves, it’ll become unattached in days if you’re lucky, hours if you aren’t. The patterns made by the artist are really cool, I was excited to wear them in the summer, but I cannot recommend these patches to any diabetic. I returned them immediately.

   So far it’s been good for the most part
   These over patches are basically the adhesive fabric used for stick on bandages. They seem to hold on for a long time, I have been able to wear the cgm (stelo) for the full 2 weeks without sensor failure. The patch will start to come loose on the edges towards the end of the two weeks, however it is still securely stuck to the sensor. Also, the first couple of showers the adhesive stopped sticking, but this resolved itself after it dried.I’m giving it 4 stars because it comes loose after the first couple of showers, but since it sticks better after it dries, I won’t complain about it. After the second time it stayed on after it dried and I have had anything else happen until it started loosening on the edges.
