Omnipod 5 Overpatches Waterproof-40 Pack Transparent Adhesive Patches for Omni 5,Clear Omnipod Sensor Covers Long Lasting to 10 Days (40pcs)

As a mom to a daughter with sensitive skin and an active lifestyle, finding reliable stickers for her Omnipod 5 has been a journey of trial and error. Our priorities were clear: gentle on the skin, strong enough to last 2+ days, and safe for daily wear — from school to swim class.

I bought this because it’s clear, so it wouldn’t clash with whatever sticker or adhesive I use with my Dexcom. It’s difficult to apply at first, but after a while of using it, I got used to the application. You do have to get it on right the first time, because peeling it off at any point to adjust will just cause the tape to lose its ability to stick anymore. It’s very thin. Also, peeling close to the skin than just straight outward helps with the adhesion and having the tape not come off and lose it’s stickiness. The hole for the pod is very close-fitting though than what most adhesive tapes have, so you need to have it fit on exactly before peeling the papers off. Or, if you prefer, you can cut the hole a bit bigger. Other than buying these because they were clear, I also bought them because they were a cheaper costing alternative to the more fancier colorful ones I also buy from ExpressionMed, back before ExpressionMed patches was FSA-approved.

I am new to the Onmi Pod so have been buying different overlays. Looking for some that don't leave a rash and hold pod in place. Many people don't use overlays, but I need them. These are the worst overlays, that I have tried so far. Have used 3 over the last 2 days just on the same pod. They bunch after showering and then don't lay flat. They are very think, like Seran wrap. Aren't very sticky, but after removing one that I was able to keep on for 4 days, I still have a rash and itchy red spot from removal 4 days ago.

I loved these protectors. Just wish it was an easier way to lay them down without them sticking to each other.

Out of several of these overmatches that I've tried, this clear one is my favorite. The tapes tend to peel but this stays on for the whole three days and doesn't even feel like anything is on my skin. Mileage may vary, but I have sensitive skin and this does not irritate my skin at all. And it's easy to get off when it's time to change my pod. Applying is not an issue either, as the tape comes off easily.

Great pad for keeping your pod where it needs to be and clean at first it can be difficult to get on by yourself if your wearing it on the back of your arm but after 3 changes I have no issues getting it lined up perfectly. Working outside in the heat don’t affect how it sticks great aid for us with the diabetus!!

So, these work about the same as the sensor ones do; will peal in hot weather and stick like glue in cool weather. Same opinion: worth it to save losing a pump. However, these are harder to put on because the cut out is a little small. Tends to stick to the pump on one side or the other as often as not. Helps if you have someone to put it on for you so they can use two hands. The plastic front cover is hard to remove. You should open the gap (blue area) and fold the little waves back prior to application. It gives you something to grip. Not the entire blue part, just the little wave part. Makes it a lot easier to manage.

I bought these because they were cheaper than other patches i’ve used, like skin grips and pod pals. I figured it’d be fine since they only have to lay 2-3 days anyway on my pump. They are so easy to put on once you get the hang of it and really do stick. I’ve had the occasional edge peel up a little but i’ve had more expensive ones do that so it might be user error. They really do the job and hold it down, but are also so easy to remove when it’s time to change your pod. There is no sticky residue!
