SIMPATCH – Omnipod Adhesive Patch with Strap (25-Pack) – Waterproof Adhesive, CGM Tape (Blue)

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 just this past summer and we've been doing the rounds of patches and adhesive helpers, goo removers trying to find what works for her. She's a varsity volleyball player and has practice and/or a game almost every day, so adhesion quality and durability are the most important factors for her. She's had Omnipods yanked off, fallen off, and insurance is not so willing to replace them because of sports or accidents. With these patches, she's finally been able to go the full 3 days with the Omnipod in place, with no errors, and her trainers do not have to do extra wrapping with sports tape during the games anymore. She does use a band-like cover just to keep it stable with all the jumping and diving but these have worked great. She says they hurt a little coming off because the adhesive is so strong, but she prefers that to those that sweat off or don't support the weight of the Omnipod at all. She also suggests being prepared to use an extra or two while you're learning how to put them on. She doesn't cut the band across the middle, she sticks the band on first and stretches the rest of the patch around the Omnipod. She also uses a silicon pod cover that she says helps it feel secure. Anyway, great product, she recommends 100 percent after all the trials and tribulations! Her only wish? That they came in a black option. We can't find that option anywhere.

I like the color and the stretchy fabric. A little difficult to tear out the backing but so is the original Omni pod ones. If you tear out the middle I found it is easier to apply than the company ones and they stick excellent and secure the omni pod with a middle strip as well that the company ones don't have. Being a Carpenter by trade I work and bend and sweat a lot cutting wood and applying it during projects, these patches will help me keep the omni pod secure and in my skin for the duration of the 3 days required.

I bought these for my husband who is a Type 1 Diabetic & was having issues with the connectivity of his insulin pod at the end of the pod's "age". This fixed the issues of error readings. I highly recommend it to anyone with an insulin pod or CGM. It's well worth the extra money.

The strap really works well when you have your omnipod in a site that may move when you move, for me it is on the midsection. I tend to lose them early when on my belly or side. The strap has really helped. That is the good news. The down side is they do leave a lot of adhesive residue and can be overly grippy making them a little painful to remove in sensitive areas they also get really wrinkled and scrunched if they get wet.

These are the patches every diabetic with Omnipod5 should be using to hold up their insulin pump. These are the best eveeeeeer. Loved them the 1st try and already getting more. Just in my favorite color💜 they definitely hold on to your pump as it should. And the best and yet funny thing is it comes with an over the pump I call seatbelt. Hehe 😜 these patches keep your pump from falling off, even in the shower 🚿 they hold up. You can early pass by something, that you feel that might nock your pump off, but no this pump can secure the entire pump onto your skin and won’t let it fall off. Loveeed it

I love the adhesion and these are the only overlays that work for my son (4 y/o) who is super active. My only complaint is I wish there were more colors! He loves to choose his color, but there are only 3 colors listed and no multipack. It is hard to find overlays that have an adhesive strap and the ones that do not have it raises the edges of the pod on his tiny arms and end up ripping off or require tape/coband to keep on. I did find that inserting the pod first and then applying the overlay did not go well and was hard to do. But I found that putting the overlay on the pod during the set up process helped a lot especially since he fights me. Perfect every time! Love the center perforated lines on the strap for set up the way we do it. Centers perfectly without folding over and it is easy to adjust on the pod. No need for stretching when removing the outer adhesive paper either. He has super sensitive skin (allergies and eczema) and breaks out with almost every overlay/device adhesive even with remover, but with the remover and this adhesive, he does not break out or does not break out as bad. Above all else, the price vs how many come in the pack and quality of this product is actually reasonable. Literally my only complaint is lack of colors especially for children who like to express themselves and feel like they have a say during this process.

These are made of the Ktape material. If you have sensitive skin be carefulThey are extremely painful to remove and take too much skin with them. In my personal experience.

Great way to secure my device.
