A must-have for Libre users.
I started out having good luck with my Libre 14-day sensor, but on my third sensor, there were issues. I was doing an oil change and noticed that my sensor was only half-on when I went to hop in the shower afterwards. Ugh. The sensor had only been on for a few days, and luckily, I had just refilled.That experience led me to look for something more. I'm not always going to have a spare sitting around. So I tried Skin Tac but couldn't quite get the application right, and ended up piercing my arm where there had been some Skin Tac. It stung. A lot. For days.I looked at all of the different Libre patches on Amazon and checked with people who use the Libre, and decided that there were two things I definitely wanted. I wanted something breathable with no adhesive to block the top of the sensor, because the hole on top of the Libre sensor is intentional (not to mention Abbott says not to cover it) and I wanted something that wouldn't look as gross as the clear ones seem to get after a couple of days.Flexd seemed to hit the marks, so I gave it a shot. Putting on the first patch wasn't awesome, because I didn't read the included instructions. It seemed awkward and difficult to center. On the second application, after reading the instructions, it was much easier. Take off the tabs in the center to "anchor" it after aligning the non-adhesive center with your sensor, then pull off the other tabs. Simple, when you read how to do it.I was able to get about 12 days out of the patch with my normal everyday routine. I noticed that it dried really quickly after taking a shower, and really appreciated that it never felt like I was going to pop the sensor off, like I often felt before using a patch over the sensor. On a similar tangent, having the Flexd patch has made a HUGMONGOUS difference in how often the sensor would get caught on my shirt when I'd take it off. That alone makes the patches worth getting. My sensor hardly gets caught on anything anymore.Anyway... by the 12th day, about half of the adhesive all around was dead, and the patch was starting to curl. So, you probably want to plan on replacing the patch every week, if you're going to be active. Although... I did an experiment to get a full 14 days out of these. If you put Skin Tac around the Libre sensor after you've applied it, getting 14 days out of these patches shouldn't be a problem at all. I don't know that I'd go out and buy Skin Tac just to make these last longer, but since I had a whole bottle lying around, I can confirm that it's a silver bullet when it comes to keeping a single Flexd patch going for the life of your Libre sensor -- and gives you some more leeway if you don't get the patch perfectly centered, because you won't need to change it until your sensor's done.So. Would I recommend these? ABSOLUTELY! I've already set up a subscription. Yeah, it's kind of a steep price for 30 big Band Aids, but when you figure that's about 7 - 8 months' worth if you're changing them out every 7 - 10 days -- and over a year's worth if you use my Skin Tac method, I'd pay that just once to not deal with the feeling of a sensor caught in the sleeve of my shirt that isn't being carefully taken off. Totally worth it. Skin TacSkin Tac

Some don't stick well
Experienced that some of the patches started peeling in less than an hour after applying it onto my skin and it wasn't sticky at all. Those that really worked were very sticky. I usually would apply baby oil to remove the adhesive patch so it wouldn't rip off my skin. Just becareful that if it is coming off and you need to replace it with a new one that you don't accidentally rip off the CGM because the patch is stuck to it. Rating it 3 stars because I never know if I get one that works or not.

Problem
The only problem I have is when the sensor fails(which is seldom) and I have to peel off the FlexD and replace the sensor and FlexD.

They hold well.
I have a subscription order of these every month for my brother's insulin pump. They are way better than what the pharmacy gives him.
