“I have been a Podder for several years now and had been constantly frustrated with pods leaking when i work out, particularly when I wear them on my legs. I tried the patches that go around the adhesive, but that didn't solve the problem. I bought some 3-D printed plastic frames that snap on the pod under a patch. Those helped, but weren't 100%, and added extra bulk and weight. I tried patches with the strip across the top of the pod. I even bought a velcro band that would wrap around and hold the pod while exercising but it was mostly uncomfortable and if you didn't get it just right it'd take your pod right off. Enter these patches. They are the most secure and somehow the cross angle is more effective at keeping the pod secure than a strip across the top of pod. I tolerate the adhesive fine, sometimes they do stick a little *too* well and I can get aggressive ripping them off...lol...but a little baby oil will take them off if needed. I've been in the hot tub, sweating in the soupy NC heat, etc and they hang on just fine. The only caveat is I get a bit anxious if my sugar is high and I can't see the nose of my pod to check for leaks but that's such a rarity since I've been using these. Diabetes paraphernalia is an individual experience so YMMV, but I hope they never stop making these!”

“These are the best patches for CGM or Omni pods. They are very easy to put on and they don’t get loose if wet. I never have to worry about either of my devises becoming dislodged. I have sensitive skin and the adhesive doesn’t irritate my skin the way some other patch products did.”

“This is the best thing I've found for my t slim infusion sets. For a long time i used a bandaid to hold down down the butterfly wings of the trusteel needle, but after using these I will never go back. This patch makes my site feel so secure and doesn't actually hurt to take off after wearing for a few days. Most adhesive patches leave me with a rash for several days after removal but after using these for several weeks now I haven't experienced any irritation. I will be keeping these in stock from now on.”
