The patches live up to their reputation, they stick and hold for the entire 2 weeks.

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

i have been using the patches for 12/12 or longer after been introduced to them by an diabetic educator, i noticed they have had a price rise since 1st buying them, some pharmacies selling them cheaper than direct. Product is still very good and would recommend them to anyone to try
David R.
I have tried other patches and none compare to these. Despite my age I am very active and am concerned about my Libre coming off while at the gym or while swimming. I now have peace of mind and that means a lot.
Carol A.
Since I have started using libre patches it has given me peace of mind knowing sensors are safe and secure on my arm.
Ian T.
This means i can workout at bootcamp shower without the worry of my sensor falling off. Awesome product. Thanks
Janet M.
These are by far the best patches I have used .. they last up to 10 days with daily exercise / 2 showers per day .. this of course allows my sensor to remain secure for the full 14 days . Will definitely continue to order them Thankyou
Kim J.
I love these! Don’t have to worry if I accidentally knock my sensor. They look good and they just make me feel more confident in the gym, swimming anytime.
Thank you!

These are awesome. They last the 14 days for the Libre sensor no problems. When applying the Libre sensor, use the sterile wipes x 2 as supplied with sensor to degrease and clean the area for application of the snesor and the Type Strong Patch, then apply the Libre sensor, then get the Type Strong Patch and put a pen mark in the centre of the coloured side so this can easily be aligned with the centre of the sensor dimple. Remove the top section of the backing and place the centre on the sensor, and then gently smooth all out from the centre to the outside evenly and will get no bumps. Repeat on other side. Excellent product and far better than the bandage sleeve I used to use. Highly recommended product.

I’m a Credentialled Diabetes Educator. I recommend Type Strong patches to everyone who needs a bit of extra support for their devices.

Very happy with the patches they last the entire two weeks and are much neater than using tape. Doesn't affect the skin either.

Can’t recommend these patch’s highly enough. Game changer

LIFE CHANGING PRODUCT
I don’t know where to start with this incredible product, it is such a lifesaver!! For someone who works out and plays contact sport, I’ve always had issues with my sensor peeling off or the little needle bending. With this patch, I sometimes feel like I’m not even a type 1 diabetic (it literally sticks on and stays there until you have to replace your sensor!). Now I can change tops comfortably without having to worry about clipping my sensor. Also, the options to pick different colours is great, you can pick the tan patch which blends in with your skin (looks like nothings there), or you can go with the colourful options to add some extra style to your look! I highly recommend this product, cannot wait to order more! LIFE CHANGING #typestrong

Will Buy Again
My son had his first footy match wearing the patch and we are so impressed. The patch looks as good as it did prior to the game. Definitely worth the purchase and peace of mind that they help increase the length of time the sensor stays on his arm.
This product does exactly what it says it does so thank you.
Jan
Mmmm
I received my patches in good time but a little disappointed with how long they stay on.
I only get 7 days before it starts to lift and then have to other tape on top.
They do give me security that my sensor will not be knocked off. That is a real plus.
Mahrukh
Type strong
I've started using these adhesive patches on my sensor. They give me confidence that my sensor will remain safe. They're pretty strong and sticks quite well as per the instructions given.
Faye O’Connor
The best
These are such a lifesaver, I forget I have my sensor on because the patch is so comfortable. So pleased I made the purchase
Donna
Libre freestyle patches
Type strong patches are very easy to apply over your sensor. This is the first time I have used this type of patch. Unfortunately even after following all the tips and tricks on how to apply correctly to get a max 10+ days I only got 7 days and had to reapply a second one. Very easy to remove old one and reapply a fresh one though.
Wayne Day
Patch security
The patch has had a significant impact on me. With the patch my sensor feels secure: it does not catch on clothing or accidental bumping. In addition, I think it gives a more reliable reading.
I'm a fan, the patch has improved my confidence.
Thanks,
Wayne Day

Product review
Happy with time took to arrive but since using they have not lasted 10 days (8 max) and needed to replace before the sensor ran out
Katina
Finally something that worked
My sensors were never lasting the two weeks, they would fall off. I tried other products similar to this but I was allergic to them. These have been fantastic, not reaction at all and my sensor lasted the full two weeks.
Highly recommend these
Trish
Worked Every Time!
These patches worked perfectly for my 7 yr old daughter. Swimming all through summer, they would stay on till sensor end. Very happy customer!
Sarah
didn’t really work :,(
I was very hyped about these cool looking patches from other reviews but unfortunately even by implementing the tips they suggest and keeping the area clean no matter what the patch just did not stick on properly :,( lasted 2 days in the pool and had to just take it off because it was falling off. Hopefully you have better luck
Paula
Good tape
I found the tape great but I’m 70 years young and my skin is not that great it came of without any trouble but left a mark around the outside is there something I can use to remove the mark with out a lot of rubbing as my skin is a bit sensitive and it leaves a red mark this is not a complaint as the tape was great and I want to keep using it thank you
Brendan
Quality
Excellent quality. I had knocked a couple of sensors off by accident and these patches provide security to keep them on for the whole time.
Deborah Fortini
Brilliant!!
I’ve just started using libre 2 sensors and was worried about them coming off after swimming. I needed to keep exercising but with the sensors being SO expensive I was worried and started looking around for something to protect them. I came across these patches on a YouTube site and decided to give them a go. They are fantastic, no peeling off, once I used alcohol wipes to prep the area. I often knock the sensor but the patch keeps it secure. I have terrible skin due to sun damage but the patch causes no irritation at all. Only small issue I have is lining up the patch to fit over the sensor with the centre non stick section. I am getting better at it though. Easy delivery to Western Australia. Thanks Guys.
Dave Playforth
Great product
I use Libre 2 sensors and have had a lot of issues with them falling off during exercise, since purchasing Type Strong patches I have had no issues, I simply put a patch on when I change sensors and that's it :) Great product
Tracey Cachia
Patches
Fantastic nothing more to say
Jane
Great product
Thanks Ryan. Patch works brilliantly. With slight modification I was also able to use it on my diabetic cat!
DC
The best on the market!
This is the best sensor patch I have tried. It lasts the full 14 days of the sensor, with no compromise to the adhesion - no curling up of edges. The best part is that when the sensor is removed, there is NO sticky residue, as the patch keeps everything clean and tidy. I haven't lost a single sensor since trying these. Customer service from Ryan is also excellent - the personal touch makes all the difference! Thank you for such a great product! :-)
Lynette Wiegmans
Great product
I have been living with type 1 diabetes for
68 years and have see a lot of changes in treatment and control for this awful disease. The latest being introduced being the libra sensor’s, I actually have finger prints again because I don’t have to draw blood anymore. I have aqua Phisio in a very warm pool and have had problems with other patches nor staying on.
Until I tried the type strong patches, what a difference, once on, they stay on.
Gary McKenzie
Great Product
After having two come off while mowing the lawn or exercise I say them on Facebook they are excellent they are simple to put on east to pull off and allow reading by my iPhone
I recommend type-strong
Natalie
Great for athletic people!
After using a variety of tapes, we always found that they would lift off and not stick after only a few days. My son is very athletic and since we have started using the patches, they have lasted much longer even with sweating during training seasons. Easy to lift off and replace as needed, and doesn’t affect the sensors performance. Thankyou and we love the new patches!
KatS
Great patches
After trying a few patches for our 7 year old I came across these on Facebook.
They were so easy to apply and really soft too, they stayed on well and lasted the 2 weeks of his sensor with only a little bit of the edge starting to peel which I just cut off, easy to apply and easy to remove and very good value for money!
Jenny Glazebrook
Finally! We LOVE these patches.
You've no idea how grateful we are for these Libre patches. We spent so much money on different types of tape, trying to find something that was 'active 11-year-old proof'. And then we found these. They really work! 13 days in and still sticking perfectly, not even coming off around the edges. It was a nice little touch having them come in a packet with Ryan's personal signature on it. My 11 year old loved that they were designed by someone else with type 1 diabetes - a nice connection for someone who often feels alone in their struggle with type 1. So, thank you! We are so, so pleased with this product. Couldn't be happier. You have met a real need and have made life so much easier for us. Our sensors can actually last the full 14 days now!
Danielle
Absolutely awesome
Have tried other patches but the bottom kept getting knocked off. This patch has been worry free. Stayed on and does the job perfectly. Will keep using them
David Rogerson
Impressed
I applied my new sensor after a lengthy cycle ride. Despite a cold shower, I could not cool down and the sensor was not sticking. This was the first time this had happened. I dried off and applied the patch. Problem solved! It is robust and gives me confidence.
Karen Briese
Great product
Great product, mine managed to stay on for the whole 12 days, but was a bit ratty at the end. I do need help to put it on though. Thank you
Suzi Smith
Amazing customer service from Ryan
I emailed Ryan in regards to the Libre patch.
I had problems with my sensor being ‘to cold’ to take a BGL while running in the winter mornings long distances. Ryan emailed straight back and arranged a tester patch so I could see if it worked.
I used it today for the first time at 4:30am (it was freezing) and it was the first time my sensor worked!
Highly recommend, thanks Ryan!
Alisha
Just one thing...
Just used my first patch! I ordered the skin colour one and it looks so much better then other types of patches, although it didn’t stay on for the full 14 days. The only thing I didn’t like was even with the non-stick centre, it wasnt big enough and stuck to my sensor, making it had to pull off.
But overall, pretty good product.
V Blackwell
Excellent Product
I purchased the patches for my son as he plays cricket 4/5 times a week during the Spring/Summer. These have been amazing keeping his sensor in place and last really well. Will definitely purchase again.
Greg
Some Kind of Miracle
Ordered and received my second tan patches. Very happy indeed. A rounded triumph for the Diabetics of the world thanks to the enterprising and creativity of Ryan.
It has only happened once (as I wear a lot of clothes to stay warm as the year is getting to its cooler personality) - sensor was half off the skin as trying to replace the patch. So to retard this obstacle to happening again. I use (waterproof) sports tape on either side of top and bottom edges of the patch. So far - so good. Only time will tell if this is a proper solution.
Wearing the sensor / patch means Diabetics are taking on the reins for a better controlled life.
BRYAN KIRK
Awesome bit of kit for anyone with a Libre
I’ve been on the Freestyle Libre for a couple of years now and the main issue I have is my Libre coming loose/falling off, this is due to my excessive sweating/water. I’m extremely active, doing CrossFit everyday, swimming twice a week as well as running so I sweat a lot and sometimes I’m lucky to get a week out of my Libre without it loosing it’s adhesive. I’ve experimented with lots of different methods of holding the Libre on and in place, none come close to the Type-Strong it really is a game changer, I go though 2 for every 14 day sensor and it’s so strong and comfortable, I love this product. Only issue was having to wait on my first pack coming through as I live in Scotland and they are coming from Australia but this is totally understandable and I will order with plenty time to spare next time. I’m over the moon with the product and would highly recommend to anyone who uses the Freestyle Libre, thank you Ryan for creating this product, well done.
Therese Darwent
Excellent, well designed product
I am very happy with my Type-Strong patch for two important reasons:-
1. It has had no adverse reaction to my skin. Using a competitor's product my skin broke out in a rash under and around the patch after only 3 days. I have worn the Type-Strong for 8 days and the skin surrounding it is fine.
2. The Type-Strong does not stick to the glucose monitor making it impossible to remove the patch with out also ripping out the monitor. This was also a problem with a competitive product. The monitors are a little expensive to be damaged when removing a patch.
I find the an Type-Strong excellent product that has more than lived up to expectation.

Pretty Fab Once You Get Someone Else To Put Them On You.
I couldn't put the patch on myself but I really love them despite them not staying on for the life of my sensor (14 days). More likely me thrashing about in bed or washing around the patch with soap, hard to say but I really am happy I purchased them and having someone else to put them on means you can have a crease free look like in your promo pictures. Cheers!
Debbie bell
Fantastic
Don't change a thing about these patches. Cannot improve on Perfect. I gave a Patch to 3 of my friends and showed them where I got them from and they are going to buy from you as well.
BRILLIANT.
Yvonne
Peace of mind.
So glad I purchased this product. Now I don't have to worry about my sensor getting ripped off when I take my bra or shirts off, am drying myself, bumping it on other things like doorways etc, or while doing workouts and classes at the gym. They even give me peace of mind when I'm doing hydrotherapy as they help keep the sensor firmly in place and prevent the adhesive from breaking down from the water. Have already bragged about the product to other diabetics with sensors.
Jess
YES GF!
Couldn’t recommend these more!! They pretty much guarantee your sensor stays on and are better quality/last longer than any other patches I’ve tried, PLUS the pink is such a cute colour!!
Lynette
Recommended by cousin
Just received my first lot of patches. You were recommended by my cousin in Melbourne who has been T1 diabetic since age 14. She is now over 60. Was unable to use any product with an adhesive surface, hence no insulin pump, till last year. Found your sight and recommended it to me. Will be passing your info onto my diabetes nurse in couple of weeks. I am T2 insulin dependent and using Libre sensors at moment and from SA
Geoff
Sensor security
The patch so dramatically increases the security of the sensor that Freestyle Libre should enclose one with each sensor they send out saving cost for both the user and Abott
Peter
I am 80 years young and your products make my life easier.
Hi Guys, I received patches from you this week. Thank you very much. Good product and good service. I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 53 years and have seen many changes in that time. It is much easier to cope with now than when I first started...
(glass syringes.. test urine under a flame.. litmus paper etc) everything easier now.
I am 80 years young and your products make my life easier. Once again thank you.
Peter Jeffrey
Next level product.
With only using the libra sensors for just over a year, I have never seen a product like or as effective as these patches. In the past I've knocked my sensors off through exercising or just brushing past a door. But with these patches I'm less cautious and forget they are even on! Brilliant idea.
Lauren
Genius!
My sensors used to get knocked out all too frequently, be it during exercise or accidentally bumping it on a shower door! Chemists don’t stock anything that does the job. These patches are a saviour - so tough and they sit near & tidy on the skin without wrinkles or padding. I have never had a sensor come out while wearing one; I can’t recommend them enough.
