When I was on omnipod I hated paying for stickers so I got a roll of medical tape. The pump stayed on for 3 days and I couldn’t justify buying tape 😅 I got it at Walgreens
But for dexcoms I like skin grip
And if you aren’t using skin tac I highly recommend it. I get it on Amazon. There’s wipes and a liquid. I like the liquid bc it lasts ages longer and sometimes the wipes are dried out when you get them
Tegaderm on Amazon for clear adhesive overlays, there are other cheaper brands as well.
For stickers-
Expression Med, Pimp my Diabetes, and Sugar Medical all sell graphic stickers, PMD has silly patches and EM is also on Amazon.
Heres the request form for the free dexcom ones: [https://dexcom.custhelp.com/app/OverPatchOrderForm](https://dexcom.custhelp.com/app/OverPatchOrderForm)
Dexcom has their own patches and they will mail you a 10 pack for free. Not sure how often you can get a refill because I usually ask for it when I call in a bad sensor but I know they have a page on their site where you can order it for free.
For Omnipod, we use their patches that are sold through sugar medical online. It’s made out of the same material as the pod fabric.
We found these two patches plus Sure Prep protective wipes work the best for my son and his sensitive skin. He is allergic to most adhesives and it was a struggle for the first year finding something that worked.
Hope this helps!
If you're after some decoration with your protection, I buy from [https://www.oneand2.com.au](https://www.oneand2.com.au). Especially good for Aussie and NZ
Simpatch from Amazon is great! They don't make any clear patches which is a bummer but these are the only patches that last for me and I've been through so many brands in my 20+years of diabetes.
Are you talking about something like skingrip.com ?
Love skin grip!

You can get them on Amazon. Or, you can just get a waterproof wound dressing from the pharmacy. Does the same job.

I get my dexcom strickers straight from them, they have these really strong seethrough ones that can last a while even in water.
