   WORKS PERFECTLY
   Works as advertised, a very strong adhesive to make my patch (over the Libre sensor) 100% secure and waterproof.In fact it’s so good, removing it after the requisite 15 days makes me wince and cry out (the latter only when I’m alone at home) like a little girl. OK, change that to – a weak little boy. 🤷🏻‍♂️5 stars!

   Sticky – works well
   Bought these to try something different that would keep my Dexcom g6 sticking better on my arms. Was using the Unisolve for this purpose. Works great on my arms and keeps those edges of the Dexcom stuck better. By the end of the 10 day Dexcom wear there’s definitely less peeling up. I tried on my abdomen for my Omnipod but after three uses I had a pretty bad allergic reaction on the skin (blistered and red) which gifted me a funky looking scar. Not the products fault as I don’t have the same reaction on my arms just the abdomen. I still use for my arms, unisolve for the abdomen. It is very sticky. Swipe around the area, blow it a little dry then place Dexcom. I use alcohol prep pads to wipe the excess around the Dexcom after to remove the sticky excess. Not so sticky everything you touch after sticks, but be mindful is all. Good product. I do use an adhesive remover (also unisolve) to get my Dexcom off after. If I don’t when using this – feels like I’m pulling my skin off – so clearly the product is doing it’s job.

   Good Product
   Very useful in securing dressings and medical tech – keep alcohol handy if you are using to get residue off your hands – they are sticky

   Great product
   Not only as a retired RN, but as a user of these, I highly recommend this product. They area cheaper on Amazon than at WalMart. I use them for the diabetics CGMs. The only draw back I can find, is my box has lasted almost a year and the few that are remaining have lost some of their adhesion and I am having to use 2 of them to get a good amount of “tackiness” on my arm. But, they are worth it. Cgms don’t stick well without them.

   Perfect for helping your blood sugar monitor adhere
   My diabetic nurse recommended these to help the monitor covering adhere to your skin and they work fantastic.

   Use gloves when you use it
   This is to remove things like a CGM and the adhesive sticker you put on top of it.This works better than baby oil, and is apparently nicer than just acetone (nail polish remover) for the incredibly strong adhesive that go on top of CGM (see my other reviews), especially when using Skin Tac before installing the CGM and the adhesive.I recommend to use one throw-away glove (cheapest/thinnest is great), as with the gloves you can feel (cold) the parts of the compress that still have the product, and you don’t waste any on your skin. Also no matter what these are nasty chemicals. You are getting some on your arm, no need to have them on your fingers. And last, the adhesive patches are sticky when this gets their glue to stop sticking to your arm, but they will still stick to your fingers.Procedure, start at any place where the adhesive is already a bit peeled from the skin, then wipe back and forth while pulling the adhesive away from the skin. Goal: get some of that liquid at the interface skin/adhesive.Be patient but go fast as these evaporate super fast.Unfold and use different parts of each pad before it’s useless.I often need 2 of these to get rid of the full adhesive pad and the CGM (and wipe any side sticky/dirty ring on the skin around the patch.It IS worth the cost, like adhesive patches are. Patches to not waste an expensive CGM, and this to make removal simple and “fast enough”.Even with experience, you might spend 3-5 minutes on this.With the Skin Tac (same brans, opposite function)Use: getting a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) Libre 3 to stick well for 14 days.- for one arm (alternate) wash the skin with soap and water. A larger area than you think you will need.- rinse it very well.- really really well. Soap residue won’t help with anything- dry it- use some alcohol wipe for roughly where you will place the device (and break the skin barrier).- let it fully dry. Don’t use anything to touch your skin, just let it dry.- wear some gloves (throw away, cheapest possible), open a packet and apply the compress where your CGM and where the wider sticker will go.- let it dry, throw the glove and compress to the trash (you can fold the compress inside the glove when removing the glove.- apply the CGM- apply the adhesive patch made for the CGM (see my other reviews)- don’t clean/have a shower for 12 hours, and this will stick super well.
