Skin Grip Insulet Omnipod 5 Adhesive Patches Waterproof & Sweatproof (Also Fits Omni pod Dash), Pre-Cut Medical Tape, Ultimate Insulin Pump Protection, Diabetic Sensor Covers, 20-Pack, Rainbow Pack

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.

Over patches are very durable and stay on extremely well, pulls the hair off my arm sometimes. Water or sweat may make it peel a bit but has never fallen off as many times as I've used them.

With a 12 year old diabetic, pods don't last long. She's always catching it on something. After knocking 2 pods off in 2 days we had to do something. I first bought a different brand, but they actually stuck TOO well. Meaning they were horribly painful to remove. Plus they were much more expensive. These ones are great. She can remove them herself without putting a bunch of goo on them and they hold up well to everything we've thrown at them so far.

Floating the river like the caddo for 6 or 7 hours constantly wet these do not stay on the whole time

This is by far the best patch I’ve used. Seems to hold well in water and during periods of sweat (wearing bunker gear = lots of sweat). I would like to see a cross bar or two that go across the pod to secure that because if you catch the pod on a door frame like I do often the points of connection from the pod and its adhesive patch fail more often than not. Other than that I believe these patches are a serious consideration to have in your go bag!

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.

The patches are colorful, vibrant and the adhesive works well. We have zero issues with the omnipod remaining in place with these covers.
