...Or you could get a roll of OpSite that'll give you ~130 patches at around 18 cents each.

Dexcom used to fight me about using my arms/legs then i had my doctor put it in my notes that i should be using alternate sites and they haven't complained since. I also use this over the sensor adhesive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001SIQCRI

i'm able to get 3-4 weeks out of each sensor now; i used to get some that would peel off after 3 days and the "good" ones would fail at day 10-11.

I use thisa punch to cut out a spot for the transmitter:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017JIPZZU

I use alcohol swabs to clean the area first, which also helps the adhesive to stick. Then I use Opsite Flexifix over the sensor's adhesive (cutting a hole in the middle for the transmitter). This helps to give it a better seal and keep water out so that the sensor lasts longer. After a few days, the edges of the Flexifix do tend to get linty from my clothes, so I just trim off the linty edges and add a new layer of Flexifix on top. It's very thin so even with 2-3 layers, I hardly feel it. You can get a giant roll on Amazon for about $20 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001SIQCRI/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_gCXrxb0RK49N0). I've had my roll for about 8 months and I think I'm barely halfway through it. And it peels off pretty easily with only an alcohol swab or two. Here's a tutorial on how to make a template: https://youtu.be/o4dUgRZB4h0 Good luck! :)

The proper tape is critical and this stuff is amazing. It's thin, flexible, transparent and holds incredibly well. It's flexible enough to slip a device under the tape which also adds to the device's gripping power.

Get the 4" wide roll and cut off a 1/2" strip. Wrap smoothly and snugly either on or slightly behind the scar line then pull forward.

It makes your dick look really stubby, but I find it the most convenient retention method since I can leave it on and still do everything I want or need to do.

I've used Opsite Flexifix (https://www.amazon.com/Smith-Nephew-5466000041-Flexifix-Transparent/dp/B001SIQCRI/) with excellent results - seems to be cheaper too.

Check out [skin tac] (https://www.amazon.com/Skin-tac-adh-oz-Skin-Tac-H/dp/B001LZUWP6/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466219735&sr=8-4&keywords=skin+tac) and opsite flexi fix


Skintac under the sensor (try not to touch it with your fingers, it gets EXTREMELY sticky!) then cut a hole out the size of the sensor, and place the tape over the white pad.

I get about 3 weeks out of my sensors before they naturally fail. But if I don't stick them down with the tape and skin tac, they fall off in just a couple days.

I have a dexcom but I use this and cut a hole in the middle to put over the transmitter. DO NOT SHAVE the area before putting it down, go ahead and trim. If you shave, since this will last 2+ weeks, you will get the worst itch that you cannot get rid of. This is from a hairy dude, girls with thinner hair probably wouldn't have as much issue.
