Superior Grip!
So far, these are working awesome. I live in FL, so lots of humidity and sweat. I have showered every day for 5 days & have been outside a lot (walking only). I will have to replace tomorrow, as it’s tattered where the edges have frayed. The edges did fray by day 3, that’s my only issue but have to give 5 stars due to grip!!

Super sticky
These are so awesome! My first CGM fell off and luckily I got a replacement from the manufacturer but waited to replace my monitor until after I received the patches.I found out about these from a YouTube video and follwed the steps they suggestedThe steps were to 1) wash with antibacterial bar soap 2) clean with alcohol wipe and let dry 3) use skin prep+ to ensure the monitor sticks 4) after inserting the monitor, place the skin patch over the monitor. All of these steps combined kept my monitor in place. The skin patches are very sticky and helped keep my monitor secure. It's so sticky that I used some isopropyl alcohol and even spirit gum remover to remove the skin patch and monitor. Definitely worth the money!

Grippy but a bit hard to put in place without bunching up
Works way better than expected and great selection of colors. Removing them is next to impossible without using medical adhesive remover which is a fantastic plus compared to many other brands. Plus it works great overall and lasts 15 days at a time for me but there are a few cons - the first is (at least for me) there is no hole in them for the open vent port on the Libre3 but they were sold as made specific for the Libre3. If you cover that port sweat will build up and deactivate the adhesive quickly on the CGM itself. Not really a big deal but I think it may also affect the function of the CGM if it is covered up at least thats my take on it from what Abbot Labs says about keeping the port unobstructed. I just use a hole punch before I put one on which I guess is a way around that. The second con and for me it is a big one is the backing is nearly impossible to remove the way it has been die cut in to 5 parts. If you peal off one or two or even 3 of the strips then apply it like a bandage you can not get the remaining tabs off (at least I can't) without deforming the patch or stretching it so that it bunches up on itself. Trying to reach behind your arm with your non-dominant hand and peal a super sticky tab off is just not something I look forward to. If they simply just bisected the tab in two or at most maybe 3 parts it would work so much better and so much easier to apply.

Best I've tried
I have tried a few of these and this was the only one that lasted the whole two weeks that the sensor lasts. Highly recommended.

Fits perfectly, but adhesive VERY sticky
These fit perfectly for the Libre 3 glucose monitor. BUT the adhesive is so sticky, I thought I was ripping off my skin when I took off the patch. Caused skin irritation when peeling off.

Works well, but is small & still leads to wrinkles and other things making it different from other
I used to use the Fixic patches, but after 8 months they would easily stop losing adhesion and start forming wrinkles -- to the point that it would catch and drag my sensor off!So I decided to try these out....First noticeable difference (as an improvement or not), this patch is VERY small; a whole lot smaller than the Fixic. The reason being that even though the product picture shows a intended space for the sensor, the Fixic 's space's purpose is so no adhesive goes on the sensor itself; this is not the case for this patch. Adhesive goes under all of the patch, so if it gets loose or you need to remove it, count on your sensor coming off as well! At first, my wife that applies the patch was convinced it doesn't fit because it seemed so small.It seems to stick better than the Fixic, at first. I was rather convinced about it that I would've bet that it would stick better than the Fixic in the long run and never wrinkle up. I was wrong, in about 5-ish days, wrinkles started to form. I became paranoid because, unlike the Fixic, once this patch catches on a sleeve or something, it will definitely pull the whole sensor off; as opposed to the chance that the Fixic coming off but because it doesn't adhere to the sensor directly. I was forced to resort on applying another patch over the wrinkled portion.UPDATEI am pleasantly surprised how well these worked out!I was very concerned about how the patch sticks directly onto the sensor (other patches stick around the sensor, not on it; in case you need to replace the patch), but it seems after 5 or 6 patches, it seems to not have been an issue.It was concerning when, after a couple of days, the patch (while it started out all edges sticking very firmly onto the skin) started to slowly peel off and show wrinkles. But what set this product apart is that although it may not have 100% all edges stuck on, the wrinkled up edges did not catch or pull off the patch (& sensor itself)! It goes to show how firmly stuck the patch attaches to the skin! Other patches, once beginning to wrinkle, catch on to clothes and what not and whether or not there's adhesive on the sensor section or not, it will move itself and remove the sensor with it! This product will not have that happen!
