Lasts for almost 14 days on a Libre but no non-stick area for the Libre. Doesn't irritate my skin!
I actually cut these to be a little smaller so they don't cover as much skin just as a preference. I've tried other patches such as FixiC - waterproof adhesive and one other brand that was more oval than round. So far these are the only ones that don't irritate my skin and make me itch like crazy.In fact the oval ones (wish I could remember the brand) had me itching for a week even after I took it off when it started itching. So I love these from a irritation stand-point.Unfortunately there isn't a adhesive free area for the Libre I wear, so it sticks straight to my skin AND the Libre. Which means once the patch starts to fray and wear as it approaches 14 days it's very hard to take it off and replace it without also pulling the Libre out.I shower every morning and it only usually starts to peel a little or fray (because I cut it to a smaller shape) after about 12 days. Since I combine Skin Tac with patching it is not a big deal to have the patch come off a couple days before the Libre expires as the Skin Tac will last for almost a week without the patch over top. In fact I like that I can take the patch off a couple days earlier anyway.I've hacked it to leave some of the backing in the middle so it doesn't stick to my sensor but with cutting it smaller and hacking the backing putting a new patch on can take a few minutes vs a few seconds.I'll probably keep buying these because they don't make me itch and I already itch around the Libre penetration point after a few days (and I apply correctly with the alcohol swab etc) so anything that remove the itch even if it falls short a couple days is well worth my cost of living.

Don’t recommend
Doesn’t cover my Freestyle libre how I’d like it to, or how’d I expect it would. Came off within a couple of hours despite my putting it on a clean portion of skin, etc. Don’t recommend at all.

It will get you by
Hey there fellow sensor wearers. These patches are alright. Not the greatest but definitely not the worst. They are a bit on the smaller side than say the Fixic ovals. (I like the Fixic ones best) but they stay on and come off with ease when you want them to. They leave more residue on skin and sensors than some of the other brands.
