Adhesive Patch for OmniPod, CGM Tape, Beige, 25-Pack | Waterproof Adhesive, Multiple Colors Available

Reliable and Comfortable – A Must-Have! I’ve been using the SIMPATCH adhesive patches with my OmniPod and I couldn’t be happier! These patches really stay put—even through showers, workouts, and hot weather. They’re gentle on my skin, easy to apply, and remove without irritation. I love that they help keep my pod secure without peeling or bunching up. The material is breathable and flexible, so I almost forget it’s there. Honestly, they give me peace of mind and make managing my device so much easier. Highly recommend for anyone using an OmniPod

I have been using OmniPod for 5 years now, and I just cannot believe I didn't find these sooner. I have lost so many pods to unfortunate fitting room, pool, and doorway incidents, which the simpatch could have prevented. It fits nicely on top of the existing adhesive of the pod, makes it feel very secure, and does't come off until you need it to. The OmniPod adhesive does not withstand water exposure too well, but that issue seems to be entirely resolved with a simpatch on top of it. I have not noticed any irritation on my skin, and the removal was not any worse than removing just the pod alone. The edges will begin to peel occasionally towards the third day, but you can also off the edge that is peeling to stop it from going any further. Overall, I am very happy with this product and will be purchasing some for my Dexcom CGM, too. The price is a bit up there for 20 of them, but I think it is well worth it. You will save plenty on pods and insulin you didn't lose, and you will have one less thing to worry about as a type 1 diabetic, which I find priceless.

My son uses these all the time with no complaints. They hold up well and don’t fall off, even in the swimming pool. He also has no issues with skin reactions or anything like that. Great product!

I first bought the Dexcom patches and loved them so much that the next day I bought the Omnipod ones. I will be writing a separate review on the Dexcom product page. I bought these mostly because of my 8 months Goddaughter who loves to pull on my pod daily. The patches hold up very well and come in a nice purple color which I love. I have warn them for the full 3 days plus the addition allotted 8 hours with no problems, pealing or skin issues. I wouldn’t go as far to say that I have ‘sensitive skin’ but other products have left skin irritation and sticky film behind. The adhesive is gentle but strong. I will advise that they are a one shot and you are done type of product. Once you stick the product down there is no pealing it up and using it again. What I do is take off half the backing, line it up with the pod, stick it down and then remove the other half before stick it down. It seemed to help to keep the two patch sides from ending up in the wrong place or accidentally sticking together. The price is also about half what other products charge as they normally range from 3 dollars for one patch to 16 dollars for ten.

I have to admit this helps keep my Dexcom in place. However even in conjunction with overpatch the Dexcom company sends this does not last ten days. I have tried using without the dexcom provided overpatch but it falls off even faster. Normally I get about seven days out of it before I am force to put a second or even a third patch over it. If you try to replace the patch all together realize in all likelihood you are going to remove your Dexcom sensor and have to replace it as well. Best bet is to simply place an additional patch. Pros The patch in conjunction with the company patch does extend the time without using a ton of surgical tape. You can always add additional patches, which should get you through your ten day window. Extending the life of the adhesive will definitely provide significant saving by maintaining the proper grip on the sensor. Sensors are quite expensive with or without insurance. CONS You can say goodbye to taking lots of long showers, especially hot ones. I found out the hard way that hot long showers decreases the adhesiveness by fifty percent or more. That a bit of a bugger to get on. You have to be in a quiet comfortable position (normally partially reclined). In addition, when you remove the protective backing the patch likes to move around particularly true if there is any real air flow such as fans. Once this happens the patch is likely to bunch up and become unusable. You will have to try again with a different patch or face the possibility that the patch malfunctions and removes the newly placed sensor. A little trial and error goes a long way. I suggest always having a second pack available. No matter what I have found that I at least have to use two patches during the lifetime of a sensor. Again this is due to the fact the patch starts to come loose around the edges by day seven and depending upon activity as early as day four. Even though the patch does start to come loose, one still has to deal with left over adhesive left behind. Once I remove my expired sensor and patch(es), I clean the area twice with alcohol pads and then take that long luxurious shower prior to putting on the new sensor/patches. While there seem to be more cons remember that the one big pro is that these patches even if you have to use two or three throughout the life of a single sensor, saves you lots a money right off the bat. A loss of a single sensor could mean financially insecurity for many people with diabetes who are shelling out money on costly treatments. Without the advent and creation of a better upgraded version, I would still HIGHLY recommend these for any patient with a continual glucose meter.

I put one of these patches on when I put on my last Omnipod to see if it would help prevent the edges of the pod stay down. I had it on for the full 3 days - showered, did strenuous work, ran - and it didn't show signs of peeling at all! It did a fabulous job of preventing my pod from peeling off. (It even took a little work to remove it, which is a plus in my book). I have sensitive skin, too, and other than a little redness (no more than the typical bandage-removal type), I had no reactions to the adhesive at all. I'll definitely be getting more of these going forward!

I wish I could do 3.5 stars. It’s great and helps if my pump is already peeling off but if it gets wet it can come off slowly. Recommend for any quick fixes but not what I would bet on for any long term needs or doing any extreme activities or swimming.

I love these over patches for my O5. Work great, reasonable price and provide some extra protection for the summer baseball season when I need it. I don't have issues getting them on and off nor even know they are there. Kind of wish they had different color options but it's not a big deal to me. I signed up for the subscription to save a little cash and ensure I have them on hand when needed.
