Cover Freestyle Bathroom patch

@PGS_CS need to put anything under the Fixomull.I cut what I need and leave it in round to avoid leaving corners that are lifted.You remove the protector from underneath and paste directly on the sensor, try to make it more or less stuck by matching half of the fixomull with half of the sensor.Then it is to squeeze well and then remove the part of the protector from above.At least I do so.

But something will have to put on the sensor, no? Pq but when the sensor is transparent ... you have already hit and already?

@pgs_cs in my case is that I don't care that it is seen, so if I leave it as is and the sensor is seen.But I have seen that for children they sometimes put them with colors overdwrites with animals, flowers ... etc.

@ruthbia in Grifgrips There are models for oval form for example.I recommend them are well especially for water.The tape that of physio should also go well, in the end it is the same material (I think).
If it is for the TB arm, the Decathlon elastic band that lemurdiabetic said.

@fer the pagin gramfrips is great for kids but at forty and ... I don't see myself with that in the arms or buttocks.

Hi @ruthbia.A few days ago I made an order in Grifgrips of some oval stickers for the Dexcom and have stayed in the customs.They say they are medical products and that they cannot be imported and that they return them.
For shipping mode I chose Fedex (more expensive, I thought it would arrive before).How did you do it?
What a snap.

Answering your question @ruthbia (forgive the delay ...) I do not take it in the 14 days, but when removing it when the sensor has already been exhausted, it does not lift it, in fact the sensor is catchy, but I thinkThat is for the time it has been stuck, I tried the first time and when removing the tape did not take off from the whole sensor but lifted it a little, so I decided to leave it and so it never moves to me

We change the Fixomull because our daughter starts to chop and leave it a few hours without him.In the first protection we put a slice of gauze to facilitate the being able to take it off without taking the sensor behind, in the Sengunda we already do it directly because we already leave it until the sensor ends.And we do as a gemater, we round the corners, endure better.

@Aandres I have not asked for anything.I only sent an email to ask for Shipping to Spain and they told me that without problems but you have to pay fees in customs.
I don't know if someone from the forum has asked the USA

@aaandres I have asked in Grifgrips and I have not had any problem.Grips work very well.

To avoid VAT payments in customs, I think the amount must be less than € 20 (or € 22 I am not sure).Below this amount is exempt from VAT.The thing to retain it for being medical material ... is laughing .... it is a simple sticker ...

You always have to choose the cheapest shipment, never Fedex, UPS etc ... There are much less possibilities that they stop it in customs because they are assumed that they will not get a lot of tajada in taxes.I asked the people like that and they didn't stop it either.

Ask Grifgrips to return the money and when you have it repeat the order (maximum 2 packs - € 20) and choose ordinary shipping (the cheapest)

Thanks @albertoT.Let's see if I'm lucky the second.

@albertot good is knowing about € 20 ... I take note in case I ever ask, but I don't see the need for the moment.

Hello, I bought a cohesive bandage because they told me at the hospital, she sticks herself but not a wonder my daughter is 7 years old, it costs € 4 as pieces are cut a lot

Hello, I have bought is this oval model with dexcom cut.When asking for it with the cut, it comes with perfect hole to leave the transmitter out:

It is material is elastic, type the strips that the physiotherapists put.I have already left OPSITE, Tegardem etc On the side and use this.I really like it.For perfect water.Now I put the Skin Tac hunts on the skin, then the sensor and then the grip is on top.Maybe it's a coincidence ... but the sensors were lasting 20 days on average and the latter, with the grip, yesterday he did the 6 week and continues to measure perfectly.Maybe it's a coincidence ... and I've been lucky.Of course, a few days ago I trimmed with a fine scissors the edges of the grip, which were getting up, and put a new one on top.I mean now I have 3 layers: sensor + grip trimmed edges + new grip on.It is very important to cut as much as possible the edges of the previous grip that is being lifted before putting a new one on top, because if the new grip does not take clean skin to paste, we will not do anything to us.

Maybe the cheapest is to buy a physio grip roll, and cut it manually.But look for 1 $ grip, I don't complicate myself and buy it already cut and ready to put.But I think the material is the same.

I asked for a Grips package and following the route with the follow -up number they give, he arrived at El Prat airport, yesterday they had to make the delivery and now I get that they have returned to the sender and do not say why.Has anyone ever happened to you?Cusando I have seen it I have been quadriculated!If I will not try the physiotherapy tape.

On page 2 of this thread there is an entrance that I hit you:

"Aaandres I have asked in Grifgrips and I have not had any problem. Grips work very well.

@aaandres had the same problem.As I commented with the economic shipment and an order of $ 20 I have not had problems.I don't know if Aaandres can tell us what he has done

Well, for now, wait.
The package is still in customs in Madrid, a week and peak since it arrived.
In Fedex they have told me that he will soon make the way back and that the sender is up to date.
But the sender makes 'mutis for the forum'.He has not answered any of my emails.It smells bad.
By the way, my order was also $ 20.

My order is also 20 dollars and I came for Fedex, I think they didn't give me another option.

I don't understand ... I don't know if I have had a good luck or it is because of the shipment I chose ...

Of course it is important to choose the economic shipment, they sent me with USPS (emails in the US).As we choose the shipment with UPS or Fedex .... they will stop us.

I think @fer had also asked.Fer can you tell us if you also had problems?

I spend my use of USPS in photo, as you see I had no proves:

When they have returned it, ask the store to return the money, there should be no problems.

I just arrived the freestyle and the sensors but I think I am going to wait for after the summer to put it on, I am to be soaked, next week I will take a surf course, then in August I am going toThe beach, I prefer not to have to be as pending and measure myself as until now, yes, I invad me a doubt, to shower you also have to cover the sensor?Let's see if someone can answer me.

Greetings to all and happy summer!

I wear it at the top of my arm and I have bathed on the beach without covering it and nothing has happened or fespegafo

@rociollinares if I have called for something else but I threw the packaging and references and I cannot return it to the laboratory to analyze it.Anyway at the end of July I return to the beach and I will check the salinity, if another fails, I will give you a detailed report of when it has failed and why.
It is curious because the needle did not get out of its accommodation, it simply began to measure Low, Low and Low and at the time and peak I got into and put another one.On Abbott's Facebook there is a message from another person who has just happened to him.

As for the beach , I haven't gone yet.In the shower none of the three sensors has given me problems.And if the problem on the beach is a matter of blows or trips, I understand that a bracelet that covers can go very well.But if the problem is that the adhesive spoils if it gets wet, the bracelet does not avoid the wet (which Abbott says it can immerse for a maximum of 30 minutes).Do you pull hours inside the water?:-)

I love them!:-)
I bathe in a nudist beach, so look at what grace, naked and with butterfly or stars patches, or puppies ... :))

@imara, send a message and called me by phone apart from an email.The low, Low, Low was very rare because he was stable at that time and had been working well for many hours, we are in the office curraizing all day to spoil because he does.
In the shower he has never given me problems or sweat because I do not turn, I think it was the beach because I had never taken off before, moreover, it is hard for me to remove them.Now I carry them with tape in the buttock and good for the pool, of course I am no more than 20 min in the water.
With this one that I have new, a jet of blood came out through the encapsulated, through the center;It has been the first time.I have had to catch a chubby vein;But it was cut right away.

Yesterday I was with a French colleague to which the patches are paid by my company there ... I will see if I get the same in Spain.
