Tell me about the adhesive
- Biocompatible: The adhesive is made from Acrylate, designed to minimize irritation and suitable for sensitive skin.
- Hypoallergenic: Formulated to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and free from common irritants
How are patches shipped?
Orders ship via USPS. Products are sealed in a resealable pouch and shipped in a padded bubble mailer.
How do I apply a patch?
Peel back half of the backing and apply to clean, dry skin. Peel the remaining backing and smooth it down.
How do I remove a patch?
Use the “low and slow” method. Gently pull the tape parallel to the skin while holding the skin down. Avoid quick removal to prevent irritation.
I have sensitive skin—do you offer samples?
Yes. Our adhesive is Acrylate-based, and sensitivities vary. If you're Unsure, request a sample from us before purchasing.
Skin chemistry varies by person. To improve adhesion, consider:
- Avoiding lotions, oils, and soaps with conditioners before application
- Ensuring skin is clean, dry, and rested for at least 30 minutes
- Light exfoliation for oily skin
- Using Skin-Tac or IV prep for added hold
- Choosing low-friction placement areas
- Trimming hair if needed
- Noting that changes in diet, medication, or hormones may affect adhesion
While we strive for universal compatibility, our adhesive may not work for everyone.
What is Dexcom Stelo?
Dexcom Stelios a glucose monitor, similar to the Dexcom G7, designed for people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin. More information is available on the Dexcom website.
Part of my patch lifted during heavy sweating—what should I do?
This can occasionally happen with heavy perspiration or friction. Do not remove the tape. After showering, the adhesive typically re-adheres and continues supporting the device.
Why do colors look different than expected?
Color variations may occur due to differences between screen displays (RGB) and printing processes (CMYK). Displays can show a wider range of colors than printers.
How do I remove leftover adhesive from my skin?
Baby oil is a gentle and effective option. Some customers also find regular deodorant works well.
