Skin Grip is the only CGM patch made with stretchy rayon fabric and proprietary SmartGrip adhesive composed of 100% acrylic polymers with no irritating filler chemicals. Our patches deliver four core performance features: medical-grade acrylic adhesive that stays secure for 10-15 days, 100% latex-free hypoallergenic materials tested for sensitive skin, flexible 4-way stretch rayon fabric that moves with your body during workouts and sleep, and a precision-cut design that fits your Dexcom G7 or Stelo without covering the transmitter or interfering with readings.

Over 150,000 active users trust Skin Grip to protect their CGM sensors. We maintain a 4.8/5 star rating from 3,200+ verified reviews, with 40% of customers making repeat purchases. The most common feedback themes are extended sensor life, waterproof performance during swimming and showering, and reliable adhesion through sweat and workouts.

Skin Grip patches keep Dexcom G7 and Stelo sensors secure for the full 10-15 day wear period, even through daily showers, swimming, intense workouts, and sleep. Without a patch, manufacturer adhesive typically begins peeling at 5-7 days when exposed to water, soap, and sweat. Our patches are tested for 15+ days of continuous wear under real-world conditions including swimming, running, and sauna use.

All Skin Grip patches use medical-grade acrylic adhesive, are 100% latex-free, and undergo rigorous biocompatibility testing including cytotoxicity testing (ISO 10993-5), skin irritation testing (ISO 10993-10), and Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing (HRIPT) with no visible skin reactions detected. Independent dermatological testing by Dermatest GmbH on 30 subjects with various skin types rated Skin Grip patches as "excellently" tolerated, earning the Dermatest® seal of approval (12/25). If you have extremely sensitive skin or a history of adhesive reactions, we recommend starting with Skin Grip Original, which has lower tack strength than MAX while still providing 10-15 day wear.

Your Dexcom G7 or Stelo sensor is water-resistant and can handle brief water exposure, but water, soap, humidity, and sweat weaken the manufacturer's adhesive over time. Most users experience edge lifting and early sensor failure between days 5-7 without additional protection. A Skin Grip patch creates a full coverage waterproof seal over the entire adhesive area, protecting it from moisture and keeping your sensor secure for the full 10-15 day wear period.

Yes. Skin Grip patches feature a waterproof polyurethane backing with sealed edges that stays secure through daily showers, swimming, and water sports. Real-world testing shows Skin Grip patches maintain full adhesion through 14+ hours of cumulative water exposure including swimming, showers, and beach activities. For maximum durability, apply the patch to completely clean, dry, hair-free skin and wait 1 hour before water exposure to allow the adhesive to fully bond.

Original is best for normal activity levels and those with sensitive skin. It delivers 10-15 day wear with strong tack strength, offers the widest variety of design options, and costs $1.54 per patch in bulk multi-color packs.

MAX is engineered for athletes, swimmers, and high-sweat environments. It uses extra-strength adhesive for 15+ day wear, has a lower-profile edge design, and costs $2.69 per patch in bulk packs. Choose MAX if you swim daily, do intense workouts, or have experienced patch failure with Original.

Clean the sensor area with soap and water or an alcohol wipe

1. Dry skin completely and remove any body hair
2. Apply your Dexcom G7 or Stelo sensor per manufacturer instructions
3. Wait 15 minutes for sensor adhesive to set
4. Peel the Skin Grip patch backing and center over the sensor
5. Press firmly for 30 seconds, smoothing from center outward
6. Wait 1 hour before swimming or heavy sweating

For maximum adhesion, some users apply a skin barrier wipe (like Skin Tac) before the patch. Avoid lotions or oils on the application area for 24 hours before applying.

No. Skin Grip patches are ultra-thin and do not interfere with CGM sensor transmissions any more than clothing would. Your Dexcom G7 or Stelo sensor transmits Bluetooth signal through the patch material without any impact on accuracy or connectivity. Skin Grip offers both full-coverage patches and cutout designs. Full-coverage patches remain thin enough that Bluetooth signal passes through without interference. If you're concerned about signal transmission, choose a cutout design that keeps the transmitter fully exposed while securing the adhesive edges. Thousands of users wear both styles daily with zero reported interference.

Skin Grip patches are custom-fit for Dexcom G7 and Dexcom Stelo sensors. Each device has a unique adhesive footprint and transmitter shape, so patches are device-specific. Dexcom G7 and Stelo patches are not compatible with older device models such as the G6. If you are searching for G6 patches shop by device by clicking the menu above. If you're unsure which sensor you have, check the model name on your Dexcom app or sensor packaging.

All Skin Grip patches are hypoallergenic, 100% latex-free, and made with medical-grade acrylic adhesive. Independent dermatological testing by Dermatest GmbH on 30 subjects with various skin types rated Skin Grip patches as "excellently" tolerated, with no visible skin reactions detected during Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing (HRIPT). Our patches also pass cytotoxicity testing (ISO 10993-5) and skin irritation testing (ISO 10993-10). If you experience redness, itching, or rash, remove the patch immediately using slow, gentle peeling. For sensitive skin, choose Original over MAX, and consider using a skin barrier wipe before application.

To remove a Skin Grip patch safely:

1. Peel slowly from one edge at a 180-degree angle (pull back on itself, not up)
2. Hold skin taut with your other hand as you peel
3. If adhesive is stubborn, apply adhesive remover wipes or baby oil to loosen
4. Remove in under 2 minutes with no residue left behind

For easiest removal, do this in the shower when skin is warm and moist. If any adhesive residue remains, use an adhesive remover wipe or rubbing alcohol to clean the area.

Skin Grip patches are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If your patch fails before 10 days due to manufacturing defect, contact us for a free replacement. Common causes of early failure include:

• Applying to damp, oily, or lotioned skin
• Skipping the 1-hour wait time before water exposure
• Not pressing firmly during application
• Excessive body hair preventing adhesive contact

If you experience repeated failures, try cleaning with an alcohol wipe before application, using a skin barrier wipe for extra tack, or upgrading to MAX for stronger adhesive. Our support team can troubleshoot your specific situation and recommend solutions.
