Insulet Omnipod Adhesive Patch

These are, without a doubt, the best patches I’ve ever used. For anyone on the Omnipod system, they’re a must have. If you’ve ever used PodPals, these are the space age version. Patches are thick and sturdy enough to withstand exercise and swimming, but the adhesive is not so strong that it rips your skin off when you remove it, which I’ve had a problem with in the past. They come in a variety of colors, so there’s one to suit everyone. I believe they even make a transparent one if you don’t want a big patch to be visible. The construction is a perfect fit - it fits around the pod snugly which makes it easier to get on straight without it moving around as you pull the adhesive backing off and it lines up nicely if you’re anal about that stuff like I am. The material is comfortable but you can tell it’s still tough. The packaging is great, strong, and won’t rip. The zip lock actually works - it always seals back up. Excellent product for people who spend a lot of time in the water swimming or hot tubbing, anyone who exercises, or a klutz like me. These have saved me from ripping pumps of my body so many times. (Ouch!) If you have extremely sensitive skin or are worried about the patches being ostentatious, you could consider another product, but keep in mind that these do come in a clear option. If you use the Omnipod, it’s definitely worth a subscription so you never run out.

I absolutely hate the feeling of things on my skin such as lotions and creams so I figured this would irritate me but surprisingly I can barely even feel it. I had my doubts in the shower but they remained sticky proving the waterproof. stretchability s nice and can fit a libre3 plus and also the libre 2 plus that his bigger. I cant really feel it on my arm so the thickness is nice. Sometimes they last the full 15days but I've had a few come off earlier but or the money of this other than a new sensor is a no brainer.

If you have trouble with pods staying on and are sensitive to adhesive these are for you. I am amazed these can stick so well yet come off so easy (you can even reposition them if needed it’s weird). Although they do leave a bit of residue but it easily comes off with an Alcohol wipe and some gentle rubbing. These have made a huge difference in pods staying on where they are supposed to. These are durable and just give that little extra help when you need it sometimes…ahem…summer weather.

My husband only trust this brand of Omni pod and he’s so stickers. They are great for a waterproofing even stick while swimming in the ocean. They do seem a little expensive for what they are and I feel like these companies can charge whatever they want because people do need the product which seems unfair.

Perfect product, my wife is a type 1 diabetic and these things stick better than the adhesive that comes with the device, they do leave a residue but it comes off eventually.

I can’t even remember how many times I’ve had my Omni pod or my Dexcom ripped off my body. So I started using skin grip products. They never fall off. Even when I use them on the Dexcom CGM which lasts for ten days. I highly recommend this product. Multiple color ways are available and many different manufacturers such as Dexcom, Omni pod etc.

I've been wearing these patches for around 2 months and here are some aspects I consider pros and cons with this product: PROS 1) You get a good amount for your money - As a college student, I don't have a ton of extra cash lying around to splurge on patches that are $5 a patch especially when I'm only wearing it for 3 days like with the Omnipod. So that was partly my reason in leaning towards this brand as you get 20 pack for around $25. 2) The adhesion is no joke - The adhesive is pretty good and will last throughout the life of the Omnipod. However, if you place the patch over a significant amount of hair, I've found that it takes the hair off with it so it can be a bit painful when removing so I would recommend an adhesive removal. Still, I haven't had a patch peel or fall off once and I consider that a win. CONS 1) Not winning any beauty contests - I've noticed that these patches tend to fray, some more than others, and look pretty rough at the end of 3 days. I've found that if you don't get the patch wet or sweat with it on the first day, that can help a lot. However, the appearance has never impacted how well it sticks to my skin or the Omnipod so if you don't care about how it looks then this might not be something to consider. 2) Difficult to apply - The hole in the patch that the Omnipod sticks out of is slightly too small to just slip it over so you have to do a bit of extra maneuvering. It can stick to itself and it's impossible to unattach. I've also had issues with it not laying flat and creating bubbles. Overall, this patch is signifantly more difficult to apply than other brands I've tried and is sometimes a two-person job. Overall, this product is pretty average. It's not the best and it's not the worst. It gets the job done and if you're someone like me who values cost and quantity over appearance this might be the product for you.
