SIMPATCH Adhesive patch

These tapes are awesome and have been extremely helpful in keeping my Tandem infusion sets in. I started using a Tandem pump in July after 15 years with Medtronic. I love almost everything about the pump, except for the infusion sets. The Tandem set adhesive is garbage (never had this problem with Medtronic), and the sets literally would just fall off every time I showered or bent over. In fact, I went through an entire month's worth of sets in the first 1-2 weeks I had the pump because I couldn't keep a set on for more than a day, sometimes going through multiple in a day. I was ready to throw in the towel and go back to Medtronic and then someone recommended these, thank God. I've never had a set fall or rip out while wearing one of these tapes. I like that they're fabric and thick, but not too thick, and they're also a little bit stretchy which helps so much when trying to get a good fit around the hard plastic nub on the infusion set. The stretch also means that it doesn't get tight or pull away from the skin if I bend over and my skin stretches, which is a HUGE deal because I've had many sites, even Medtronic, just pop right out from this in the past. Despite having such good sticking power, they never hurt to pull off or leave irritated skin like some of the tapes that I use to keep my Dexcom adhered do. If I could change anything about them, I'd say that a smaller/thinner size option might be nice for when I want to wear an infusion set somewhere visible like on my arm. And different designs would be fun, but I'll take functionality over more design options any day of the week. This is overall just a really solid product that took me from the point of tears over my sites not staying in, to being able to continue using this system which is having a great impact on my blood sugar. I highly recommend.

Patches work great to keep my Autosoft XC from coming off! I use these after I had a few of my sites detach from my body. They keep my sites staying on for the 4 days I wear them! Easy to put on and take off. Even the edges don't want to come off or peel off! No issues with skin allergies or sensitivity either. Company needs to make more patches for people! And please add more solid and design color options please!

These are perfect for my libre sensor and my TSlim infusion sets. I have allergies to a lot of brands, but this one never gives me a reaction. They are the only brand I use. They’re flexible and light weight. They usually last me about 10-14 days, but I’m not super active. They will also stick to themselves should your two year old nephew decide that your cgm is a great place to hold on to.

I am using this to go over my Autosoft 90 infusion sets because they kept getting pulled out. It stays on for the entire 3 days with no peeling up around the edges. One of the best perks to these patches is that it has eliminated most of the pain associated with having infusion sites yanked and prevents them from coming out when that happens. The only downside to these patches is that I have to cut out space for the back of my site to get it to fit properly. I have had no issue with sensitivity reactions like I usually do.

These are the best and only patches I buy for my son and husband! They both have type 1 diabetes, both have tandem tslim and both have a Dexcom G6. I buy this brand for both the tslim and Dexcom to keep the infusion set and sensor on. We use skin tac before putting them on and a shield over the sensor as well but this product is great! I have them both on subscribe and save! They are okay when used with swimming. Hit and miss really I guess it also depends on how long they are swimming and how hot it is outside but I haven’t found a product to stay while swimming the whole time. In order to remove all of the adhesive we do use an adhesive remover but that is no big deal. I like the perforated backing to make it easier to pull it off of the patch. I wish they came in other colors but my boys like the black (beige kinda looks like a bandage but I get being discreet). LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Recommend!!! Okay so it also would be helpful if the company would put the type of Simpatch (Dexcom, Tslim…) on the package so I don’t have to open the package every time. I have learned to marker it when I get them but it would be nice to just have it on the package.

We use this to go over my son's Tslim insertion in the Summer. These hold really well in warm weather. We need the as overlays in the Summer due to sweat and swimming and the hold up really well. It is the only brand we buy!

Smaller than the Dexcom G7 overpatch that I was using on my T:slim x2 infusion site. So it fits that better. Love Simpatch quality

The SIMPATCH is decent but not without its issues. It sticks well on the first day, but by day two, it starts to tatter and peel, especially with sweat or activity. Also, it’s frustratingly difficult to peel the backing off when applying, which makes the process more time-consuming than it should be. It’s comfortable at first, but don’t expect it to last for several days. It works fine for short-term use, but there are better options for long-lasting adhesion.

My wife is diabetic and we were hoping this patch would take away the itch from the Freestyle Libre, but these were just a bad.

These patches work ok to keep my libre on for the last few days of wear, but if I put it on too soon it won't last long enough. I work outside in the summer and these don't quite cut it, but nothing else works any better. EDIT: With some Skin Tac, they now stay on for the full 14 days and hold my miaomiao on too

I was having trouble keeping my sensor on. These things keep it on for the 2 weeks needed. Would buy again.

I like the idea of having an adhesive patch with a hole in it. Does not last even after following the directions. Very disappointing. Will send it back. Lasted only 7 days.
