Happy patching!
So glad I found this! Not reading the instructions and trying to apply was a nightmare! Thank you!
Awesome. Glad to hear that! Happy patching! :)
I just got my Libre 3 and ordered the clear patches and the wipes. I'm starting Sunday.
Trying these out for the first time today- hope they last! They feel sooo thin and light (which is nice) but it makes me nervous that they’ll come off faster. Will update after a few days
Goodluck! Keep us posted with your NJaP experience. Happy patching!
Update****!! It stuck- oh boy did it stick! I’ve done one full (14 day) libre sensor with a clear patch and I’m on day 8 of my second clear patch. The first patch survived 2 full weekends of swimming, day to day biking, showering, sweating, and *drumroll* a 3.5 hour lazy river float where it was submerged on and off the entire time. Safe to say: they do their job!!!
Pros:
-easy to put on- even easier the second time
-super lightweight- feels like nothing is on even when I stretch/move around- there is no adhesive ‘tightness’ that I felt with other patches
-love the cotton rounds as an option to be able to take off a patch and replace with a new one within the 14 days (didn’t have to though)
-and again- they stick! Makes me feel much safer wearing them and not on constant alert that my sensor will get caught on something and rip off
Cons: - the clear goes on beautifully and is literally invisible … for the first 2-3 days. After that it gets kinda gunky looking on the outer edge where things (lint/dust etc) get stuck to the adhesive. So it looks like a thin black ring on my skin. ***honestly this is ok for me and I only mention it for someone who may be going to an event or wearing something etc where they wanted the patch to actually stay/be fully clear. I wear mine on my thigh so it isn’t visible at all times like it might be on someone’s arm. (I still really prefer this happening over the fabric patches that fray on the outside and have little strings dangling everywhere)
- one other thing to mention…. They stick so well (hurray!) that it does hurt a little to take off. If you have extra sensitive skin (like me!)- just be careful and maybe use some coconut oil around the edge while lifting up. It helps. And again….. can I really call this a con?! I prefer that it sticks soooooo well that it’s hard to take off, rather than it not sticking obviously!!! Just mentioning for people with sensitive skin.
Thank you for making something that gives me better quality of life- best patch I’ve tried by far (and I’ve tried MANY)
Hey nice one. I'm using Blucon on top of my sensor to get the automatic readings on my phone and watch without scanning the sensor. the height of blucon is 7mm, can I use this patch over Blucon with sensor?
Hey Ayesha. Absolutely, This is the patch suitable for your BluCon - notjustapatch.com/product-category/miaomiao-1-2
Tried the regular Not Jost A Patch and it stuck to my arm very well. So well that it pulled the skin off when it was removed.
Glad to hear that, Joe! If you could send us your pictures or video wearing the patch, that would be great! Happy patching!
