These do a great job keeping my wife’s Libra 2 sensor in place.
Chelsea M.
These patches are the most comfortable and kindest to sensitive skin. I no longer fear pulling my patches off.
I love them and the colours are so nice and vibrant.
Brenda S.
Have tried lots of patches, this product is “the best” would highly recommend
Leslie C.
I am on my second patch, the first one lasted the full 14 days that my sensor ran for, in fact in was hard to actually remove, so adhesive is great, even the sensor because of the protection was harder to remove than usual, and being 70 is a bit scary when it pulls at your skin, but, still recommend, as they perform better than advertised.
lynette s.
They are perfect fit over the libre2 disc and so easy to apply. The flesh colour helps to disguise the disc. Easy to remove. Love them.
Doris C.
The patches are amazing. I've been using a sensor for around 10 months and before using the patches, I could only get a sensor to stay in place for up to 3 to 7 days at best and they'd come off. Now I get the full 14 days.
Sharon G.
They’ve been great in ensuring the Libre sensor remains attached for the full 14 days.
Meegan R.
I have used other patch brands and 'Type Strong' are the best that I have found on the market. They are easy to apply and stay in position. The tan colour is great as it blends in and is not as visible through clothing. I would definitely recommend this product.
Lisa T.
Fantastic product! Sticks without falling off. I love that this does not cause any skin irritations to my sensitive skin.
Mark E.
Yep they protect my sensor
Ross W.
I'd go as far to say that these are vital additions for anyone who uses Libre or similar. I used to have issues of my Libre falling off, and they don't anymore. The patches typically last 2 weeks as well, unless it's a particularly hot or sweatty period of the year.
James C.
I've lost more than a few sensors to benches and car doors - these patches are a must have!
By far the most comfortable dressings. Highly recommended!
James (T1D and registered nurse)
Teresa O.
They are water repellent for must longer than most and thicker…. So glad I found them
Cheryl A.
These patches are great for my libre, two freestyle sensor. They stay in place and hold the sensor firmly, and if I have to take the patch off, I don’t waste a sensor.
I tried numerous different products prior to be introduced to your patches, and nothing worked nearly as well.
One could say that your patches are a little expensive, but when you consider how often you have to change the other bandages etc that you didn’t get and their expense your patches work out very economical.
I had an appointment at the diabetes clinic in Launceston yesterday, and I took a packet with a couple of patches in for them to see the product and promote it to their other clients. They were most impressed and appreciative.
rita t.
i think there the best don;t have to worry about losing the sensor and great for when you shower. last untill sensor has to be removed great product.
danielle w.
Always stay informed at least 10 days. Haven’t lost a glucose reader button since wearing them.
Thank you
Lucy K.
Ive always had trouble getting my sensor to stay on but not anymore since i started using the type strong patches they are durable and they look great they are easy to put on and take off and dont irritate my skin
David B.
Just come back from a holiday, went snorkeling and swimming while I was away, the patches are fantastic. Have lost a number of sensors previously, one in particular, was a very hot day and i went into the pool and the sensor came off straight away. Even if I'm not near water, the sensor feels more secure with the patch. As advertised, the patches are lasting the fourteen days, Won't go back.
Tony G.
Love them, best thing out.....I was Having lots of problems keeping my Freedom 2 sensor on my arm but after finding your patches on the internet and trying them. WOW very happy with the result. Saving money, time and my sanity LOL ! Will defiantly be purchasing more when my current order runs out. Cheers and THANKYOU Tony
Jason D.
I do a lot of exercise. When I went to replace them the sensor fell off.
Bill L.
I swim in the ocean at least once a day, so by day 10 the patch is tattered so I take it off .. still a good patch.
Phil C.
I'm a Kung Fu student and instructor, we can definitely be quite rough at times. If I know Im going into a big session I put one of these on... It's saved many sensors! Thank you.
Brian L.
Great Product!!!
I wish I knew about them sooner.
Adriana P.
I can sweat, shower and they don’t budge!
Can’t wear my sensor without one now!
Rebecca .
I have tried all kinds of patches but find these ones are the easiest to put on and last the longest.
Alan M.
The patches don’t do what is advertised, I was in a swimming pool for less than 10 minutes and it started to peel away .
The sensor was not affected luckily, even in everyday use they start to peel away after two to three days.
Not very impressed and a very expensive mistake.
Alan Moore
Hunter G.
Fantastic
I always applied after night shower for stronger applications
Harley S.
I remember looking for a patch when the libre first came out but nothing seemed to work. Working as a plumber and swimming often I have battled trying to tape on my sensor! Type strong patch is the one!!!
Glen R.
Best Patches ever, I’m Type 1 Diabetic and on a Dexcom G6 and a Tandem T:Slim insulin pump and there the only one thing that I can use to give extra hold on my equipment. Thanks. Fm: Glen Robens
Geoffrey Edward J.
They are good and stay on for the full time until ready to change sensor
Teresa Z.
Fantastic. Ill purchase again and again. They dont come off for the whole 14 days. Very strong and 100 percent water proof.
Edward V.
Absolutely fantastic to do the job of protecting the sensor - I would recommend to everyone who yses Freestyle 2 -
The patch lasted the 14 days
10/10 in my book
Donna R.
Tried another brand. Type strong are far more superior product and much mote comfortable to wear.
Ellen B.
I'm a restless sleeper and my libre sensor has fallen off twice.
Since buying the patches I have had no sensors fall off. The patch also lasts the 2 full weeks. Am very pleased with my purchase.
Lenny S.
Waste of money. Started peeling off after 2 days. Will not purchase again
Susan T.
The patches work so well nothing else that we have tried comes close
Peter B.

Norman W.
They are lasting as long as the sensor is and that is 14 days even with regular exercise, swimming and showering
Norman W.
They are lasting as long as the sesnor is and that is 14 days with showering and swimming daily
Kim J.
Love these patches, just gives me so confidence in doing day to day stuff like exercising, showering, getting dressed. Knowing they protect my sensor so much.
I have had stranger ask me where I get them from so I’ve had to write down your website which makes me happy
Thank you for making life easier, Kim
Rebecca M.
Good quality I had the patch on for a fortnight and was still intact
Carolann G.
I feel confident I won’t bump my sensors from my arm while wearing the patches - and they last me the whole 14 days !
Di B.
I love the patches I have worn them every day since I got my Libre 2 in September. I find a patch lasts the full 14 days if I am careful. Would not be without them
Jimmy M.
The patches are so good as they protect the sensor to reduce the r need for replacement. Thank you
Cass W.
We have been using the patches for over two years.
They comfortable protect the censor units from accidentally being pulled off when dressing or undressing.
Patrick S.
Stick great. Been lasting 14 days or just under 14. Working in construction and they haven't let me down
Wendy B.
My Husband is the Diabetic and the patch lasted the hole 10 days stuck on his arm it probably could have stayed longer.Very happy with the product
Steph J.
As a Runner it's important to be able to check my sugars when needed, the type strong patches keeps sensor safe
Peta K.
As soon as the Libre Freestyle sensors were available in Australia, well of course I jumped on them (that was about 3 years ago). The problem with the sensors was that if you accidentally bumped into a wall or knocked into something the sensor would come off or hang off your arm (believe me it's happened)!!
So, my search began to find an adhesive as such to put over it. That's where I came across Type Strong patches. They are brilliant and I personally have not had a problem with them since purchased. Oh, only when they ran out of skin/tan colour ones and had to get hot pink......LOL
Helen C.
Thank you so much for your patches. I find them so easy to apply and the only ones that actually stick for 14 days. Well done guys. I will be ordering more definitely.
Anne K.
The patch comes off if it gets wet.
It comes off after seven days if kept dry. I then use scissors to cut off the loose flaps and I stick on another one which then lasts until replacement.
It’s good at stopping the sensor from being knocked off the arm.
Sarah S.
They are fantastic, I live in a very humid part of Australia and basically swim everyday. These plasters really do secure my disc.
Patricia P.
They are really good and they stay on for the period which is hazel free
They go on easy highly recommended
Matt K.
They are a great patch but just lately been becoming very rash under them but all good
Arron W.
I’m new to the diabetes scene and didn’t order my Type Strong in time, so my wife made me make shift patch.
Our make shift patch did the job but not well compared to the Type Strong, the make shift seemed to cause a constant “prickle in my arm” feeling and started peeling 5 days before my monitor expired.
Since then I have insured my Type Strong order is up to date, it’s very comfortable, secure and fit for purpose given my work is in construction.
I’m thankful there is such a quality product available!!
Laurie F.
Very functional and very serviceable for my sensor
Kerrie D.
I have only veen using then for 3 weeks. The first patch lasted 14 days. The 2nd one has been on for 5 days and is wearing well.
Clo M.
The only oatch that stays on!
Roderick S.
I have ordered these before and they were good. This batch just is not sticking. Three have now fallen off.
Carol R.
Started using Freestyle Libre and used the purple patches. These are easy to use and protect the disc. Very happy with my purchase
Glen R.
Most Universal Patch that holds my stuff against my skin for as long as I can remember. Thanks and great job at creating these patches. I've only lost out one day cause of the heat and movement/strength to do my physical Job was just too demanding on this day.
Annie C.
Love these, I have already knocked 2 sensors off during my work asap domestic cleaner. The patches are amazing I no longer worry they are secure and still work perfectly ill be using them all the time now.
Michael V.
The Type Strong patches are pretty good. First tried on Dexcom G6, after getting a rash from the Dexcom supplied adhesive cover. No reaction with the Type Strong patch. Have since switched to the Libre2, and love how easy it is to replace the Type Strong patch without removing the sensor. My only criticism is that the edges of the fabric starts to fray after a few days- maybe there is some way this can be fixed?
Mark H.
They make the sensor feel secure on you arm. Comfortable as well.
Di B.
First patch has been on for 11 days and still going strong. Feel more confident wearing it over sensor. Love them
Oliver D.
yes they work well and save my sensor from damage cheers
Naomi B.
These were bought for my daughter she said they are great.
Sue T.
I live in a hot and humid climate and have struggled to keep CGM's attached. Since using Type Strong patches, my CGM's have remained in place for the full duration without any dislodgement. I also like the skin tone patches that make the CGM less visible.
Nicole W.
Have kept my sensor on for almost two weeks. Great product. No longer worried about it coming off.
Dianne a.
Easy to use stay on for two weeks absolutely the best patches I’ve used
Robyn V.
I’m glad I found these guys!!!
A question but do you think you’ll get clear patches?
Chad B.
Wonderful strong and last for days. Glad someone who has diabetes came up with this great idea.
Chris M.
This product has lived up to expectations they last the full two weeks but are a little ratty
at the end but you would expect that, size is perfect colour is nice and they stick well.
Wilacio J.
Very strong , but need to make sure is probably done on the apply , or will come off after a week
Jan P.
Love the patches don’t come off when I have a very hot shower as I am by myself had a little problem trying to put it on myself but all good love them thanking you very happy
lee l.
We try them the first time today we will see how they work thank you regard lee
Norman H.
Highly recommend these they look good but most importantly keep those sensors secured to your body. Easy to apply and remove.
Carol M.
First time I have used them and I am extremely impressed with them my son has been using them for a long time now and he recommended them to me and said I should get them so I did thank you guys so much for all the great work you are doing helping diabetics well done
Moira B.
I’ve been using them for 18 months and have a variety of colours. The patches are great protection for my sensor and usually last 14 days. Wonderful product, thank you Ryan.
David B.
Quick delivery easy transaction and product is great on my arm. Very happy with it.
Peter A.
Really well made and cover the sensor perfectly
Philip C.
Since using Type Strong patches I have not lost a sensor. Before discovering them I lost expensive sensors, sometimes with a day or two of attaching them. Well done Type Strong you are saving me money and improving my health.
Jennifer H.
My first use and it came off after a swim session after being on for less than 10 days. They should last 14 days like the monitor because the whole lot comes away from your skin once the patch becomes unstuck. I will try to get the next one to last longer but will still do 1.2 swims twice each week.
Wayne T.
Absolutely awesome, used it for the first time and it lasted 14 days. Definitely worth the money. Thanks heaps Type Strong
Stephanie J.
Happy with the purchase just disappointed they only had black to buy due to being out of stock. Will be purchasing them again!
Roslyn H.
More colours would be great!
Adrienne M.
Best ever. They have saved me a fortune as they keep the Libre in place.
Christine B.
Wonderful idea. Takes away worry that you will knock or dislodge your sensor. Was disappointed that patch started to come off after only 7 days. Have persisted with keeping on as I was concerned if I tried to take off it would also pull sensor off. Hopefully will have better luck with next one.
Amy F.
I've been buying these patchy fir a while now and have found them absolutely fantastic.. I think these patches are the reason I get 14 days from a sensor. Would highly recommend. Thank you type strong
jacob p.
Really good protection
Sara H.
These are great to help my husband’s sensor not get knocked out. They stay stuck for the fortnight but also peel off well too. Nice having the choice of colours.
Ken S.
They stay on no problem very good patch
Beverley P.
These patches are a life saver I started using them after I lost 8 libre sensors off my arms from between 1-12 days. My sensors were falling off and not lasting the distance till I brought these patches.
Love them and purchasing another pack now
Judi C.
Hi there my son & I both use them & mitigates sensors being lifted & hence stop working. I am keen to know if you will be providing patches for libre freestyle 3 when it is available later this year ( I think) - small & thinner is better! Many thanks Judi
Carolann G.
These patches stay on longed than other patches preventing the risk of the sensor being bumped off and since I’ve paid the full amount for my sensors for the past few years this has saved me hundreds of dollars !
Thank you !
David R.
The patches live up to their reputation, they stick and hold for the entire 2 weeks.
Kerrie H.
Before using these patches my husband had on numerous occasions banged into a door or something and knocked out a sensor which had only be in for a couple of days. As we all know this was very costly as they cannot be reattached. With the Type strong patch cover we never have to worry about this happening they stay firmly stuck for the full 14 days. Would recommend these patches to all users of the blood glucose sensors.
Gkenn S.
They are the best. I can now not worry about nocking them off as easy. Just as good as the sensor itself.
Teresa O.
Can’t believe how strong and water repellent they are …. Tough right to the point they have to come off.
The reliability and protection is great.
Many Thanks for a great product
