Skin Grip: Skin Defender Reusable Barrier Compatible with Medtronic CGM– Pre-Cut, Non-Adhesive Cover for Infusion Sets – Layer Helps Prevent Allergic Reactions – 5 Pack

Just a tiny bit bigger than it needs to be, but it works perfect to block the Stelo adhesive from hitting my skin.

The photos show a textured side that's very identifiable. I am blind and a quadriplegic with a functional hand. The lack of feeling and the very different texture makes it harder to find the correct side for the adhesive. Also I had the first one come off with skin. If you have Ehlers Danlos these may still take a bit of skin. This isn't a fault of the product but it's worth mentioning because I am not the only one who is in need of these for that reason. I consider their skin tac required and that cut down on this issue. Also remember that you HAVE to use their over patch or a similarly sized one for these.

Was excited to try these as they seem like a great idea. As with many things, it was a great idea with poor execution. I purchased the barriers for the Dexcom G7. I installed it following the directions, only to find that it covered ALL the adhesive on the sensor, and then some. There is probably an extra 1/16th of an inch of barrier going around the outside of the adhesive. I thought that these was to address the adhesive under the sensor, while leaving the ring around the sensor to hold it in place while you apply your over patch (Skin Grip makes amazingly good over patches BTW!). However, when I installed the barrier on the sensor it fully covered everything, so when I tried to insert the sensor into my arm it just fell right down onto the floor, bending the needle on a $100 sensor, ruining it. There is nothing at all to hold the sensor in place while you apply the over patch. Had these have been a bit smaller it would have worked way better (or just worked in general!). Something to be aware of!

Great purchase!

A little hard to use. Sticks to hard on the skin. While trying to take it off it was painful and most defiantlynot reusable.

Bought these for my niece, she was getting awful irritated skin from the glue in the Dexcom. These seem to do the trick, I heard about it on TikTok and happy I found them.

I used this as a skin grip with stelo CGM. Works well. No skin issues with it even having sensitive skin.

Allergic to the adhesive
