Love it! The Medtronics Guardian 4 sensors are lasting the full 7 days now. Phew!!! The sensors used to frequently fail and need replacing after about 5 days. The blue Type Strong tape looks good and stays on much better than any other tape. It gives me much more confidence and copes really well with my frequent, sweaty and vigorous exercise sessions, as I train for the HYROX World Championships in Nice, France on the 8th of June next year. I qualified after winning the 55-59yo Open Men's category in Melbourne on the 26th of August 2023. I am ranked 5th in the World this year and 7th of all time for my age group.

Ordering and delivery was simple and quick. The patches are a perfect lavender and generously sized so they are easy to apply in tricky spots . They are itch free!! A first for me and so lovely an experience, for 7 days I can completely forget that it is there .
They do not get too wet in the shower and are dry within minutes
They hold their stick and don't get loose around the edges at all . Looking clean and tidy untill removed
They don't leave any residue and no marks that it was ever there
I'm very happy with my patches
Thanks
Sue

This has changed Sarah’s life now she is able to show off her Libre sensor to everyone with the help of the patch

I have tried a number of CGM patches with varying degrees of satisfaction but none of them hold a candle to Type Strong.
My issue with the other brands I have tried is they just don't stay secure enough. The edges peel back and befoire Type Strong, I was never able to use just 1 patch per week. Sometimes I had to use 3 or 4 which is a bit cranky making not to mention costly.
Type Strong stay completely intact for the entire week. They are as good on day 7 as day 1. Thanks so much TS for making such a great product.
Bianca B.
Amazing! Much nicer on my skin and so much less painful to take off! Also love the fact it covers my Medtronic CGM and doesn’t lift throughout the week! & seriously who doesn’t love purple
Carol C.
Love sharing these patches with my clients they are soft and stay on well, no irritations at all
HELEN P.
I absolutely love these…especially the purple ones. But the reason I repeatedly buy them is because they are the only patches they will stay “stuck” for the life of the transmitter.
Jayne L.
Type Strong patches work for me as they hold my Medtronic sensor securely for the 7 day period without peeling. I buy the skin tone ones so they are hardly visible. I wear my sensor on my upper outer thigh so the patches stop tight clothing pulling off the sensor. I also enjoy swimming and sitting in the spa and the patches hold securely each time. I love them and could not be without them. I have used them now for 2 years. Highly recommend.
Peter S.
These are the only patches I have found that don’t irritate my skin. I use them in place of the standard Medtronic adhesive patches and they work perfectly. Customer service is great too. Highly recommended.
Simon T.
These patches are life changing. I struggled for a long time keeping my censor stuck and could go through 2 a day. Now I have it stuck for seven days without a worry.
Thank you guys. Great product and great colours too.
Renee C.
I love these super duper Type Strong patches! I'm allergic to the ones that come with my sensor and other options have not worked out. These are the ones that withstand cheerleading practice AND competitions (#Type1Diabetes represent!).
They work in the water and last the whole 7 days. Easy to apply and easy to peel off and remove. Oh, and did I mention I'm not allergic to these ones?
Thank you Type Strong!
Susan M.
Amazing - no more rashes and so solid and strong. Would recommend them to everyone.
Olivia J.
Best patches. Last all wk
Louise C.
Sticks well, feels nice to touch and looks better that the stickers that come with my sensors. The only thing that doesn't work is because my guardian 3 transmitter is quite large I can't stick it down without having a fold, this is because the sticker is flat but where i am sticking it it's not flat.
Julie H.
The size of the patches are perfect and also they are strong.
Sue C.
Very happy with these after they were recommended by my diabetes educator. They stay on, they don’t curl up and they stay put for the duration of the sensor.
Colleen W.
I have been on CGM for nearly 8 years.
I have placed them in areas of my stomach and arms.
I have dreaded the day I had to change them as great red welts always appeared and took a few days to heal. I have just completed a month with “stay strong”.
I am so grateful, not only does the sensor stay protected from “accidental” early removal but, my skin does not react and there are no welts or discomfort after removal.
These sensor covers have made so much difference. I did not expect such an awesome and wonderful result and product.
Emily N.
My husband has struggled for a long time trying to find something like these patches that does actually last. He has tried numerous adhesive tapes, strappings and medical patches, but working in the trade industry and being a gym junkie, none of them every lasted more than a couple of days. This would mean he would have to remove the adhesive and risk pulling out his sensor constantly. These patches last more than a week and are still stuck super well even when he needs to remove his sensor after it expires. These are 100% tried and tested and he will not be using anything else moving forward. Thank you so much for creating a product that actually works and makes his life a little less stressful!
Natalie H.
Thanks Type Strong! Keeps my CGM secure so I don’t have to have unnecessary changes. Love all the colours but my favourite is purple.
Michele M.
I am very happy with the quality of patches and do not have a allergic reaction using this I will continue to purchase regards Michele
Debbie A.
Absolutely love your patches. Tried some others prior to being told about yours. The others were horrible so was dubious about trying yours but I’m now hooked, they’re awesome.
Patrick H.
Best patches on the market!
I've been using typestrong for a few months and have had about 95% of patches stay on for the full duration.
I tried Typestrong after using a competitive brand for about 6 months, with very little success. The other patches would start to peel off after 4 or 5 days, and often caused my CGM to disconnect.
No such issues with Typestrong! I've used both the Medtronic Sensor 3 and Dexcom G6 patches, and both have been great.
Andrew M.
I normally have the beige / skin coloured patches but due to no stock i ordered the blue. I have found them not to last as long and rather disappointing. They peel up within a couple of days where the beige ones last 3 or 4 days. I will wait for beige next time.
Nik O.
I find the patches superior to other brands of similar items.
However, previous & the recent order I've been unable to purchase the preferred Tan coloured patches that were annoyingly listed as "Out of stock". It would be much appreciated if the "Tan" coloured patch were to be the primary & 1st choice coloured item available over other colours, as the brighter colours are very visible beneath a white business shirt & other lighter material. Thanking you in advance. Nik.
amanda h.
Great product, some pattered ones would be great
Jennie F.
Best patches I’ve tried. Last the full 7 days of my sensor. So easy to put on and lots of colours available
Craig D.
They are great beats the ones Medtronic use hands down, I had a lot of problems with sweat when working now I don't, a great product.
Ann G.
These have changed the game for me. I will definitely be a return customer.
Antoinette M.
I really liked them initially but unfortunately just purchased a new packet and seem to be getting redness and slight swelling under the adhesive by about day 3. Very frustrating as I did like the way they looked and initially feel. ☹️
Danny P.
What a great product
Pity that the company that supplies the sensor and transmitter patches don't stick.
Cheers Dan
Lindsay S.
I ordered two packs of patches on a whim, without a clear idea of how I was going to use them. Having now figured it out, I am happy to say that I am using them to anchor both the Guardian sensor and the infusion set. I can shower with much more confidence and can disguise the sensor if I wish. I love this product!
Ruth R.
Like the patches as they stay on but postage is an issue for me as it takes weeks to get here
Debbie A.
Your patches were recommended by one of my care team. I was a bit hesitant as I have tried similar patches before which fell off less than 48 hours after being put on. I am so glad I decided to give your patches a try though. They are awesome, won’t be going anywhere else.
Dianne a.
Swim or sweat they never come off
Anna P.
Fantastic product. Even though it says not for sensitive skin I thought I would give it a try. The sensor manufacturers tapes cause me huge red and itching welts under the tape. Another tape brand causes itching and peels slowly away before the sensor needs to come off. Type-Strong has not caused any itching and holds for the full 7 days needed as long as its put on properly in the first place. I highly recommend these as the best I have had.
Carolyn C.
Love the patch. Excellent quality. Leave the patch style the same just no glue on the centre section for replacing purposes as it leaves a really sticky residue on the sensor. Best on the market and I have tried quite a few
Carolyn
Andrew M.
I’ve tried a bunch of adhesive patches and bandages and all would come off me after a good session in the garden or when working out. Type Strong patches stay on for 7 days everytime, without fail - even when I don’t apply them correctly! Highly recommend
Glenn K.
The best. Never had one fail. Even swimming doesn’t affect them. Return customer for sure.
Eleanor W.
Certainly makes life that bit easier not having to remove the sticky stuff from my transmitter!!….a great product….thank you ☺️
leith p.
The 1st 2 patches didn’t stick real good (back of arm) edges started lifting and looked very ratty but the next few have been ok (upper thigh) but better then other tapes I’ve tried so will continue to use them!
Christina B.
Love the way it doesn’t stick to your skin and machine when you pull them off
Colin B.
Great product
Have recommended it to so many others
All the best for the festive season
David W.
I love these patches! They are so much easier to use than what is included with the CGM, tough and water proof. And they last as long as they are needed. Highly recommended to anyone who uses as CGM.
ann w.
They are so easy to use, adhere well and don't irritate the skin at all! Plus the patches I use are skin coloured and blend in well around the stomach area- not that I flash my tum in a bikini anymore :-(
Maureen F.
Recently bought the strips on recommendation of an enthusiastic user. They are great, stay fixed and waterproof for the required 14 days, and are easily removed at time of replacement.
Jake C.
Works super well, no skin irritation at all. Last the entire seven days no dramas at all !
Brad D.
Not sticky enough. May as well of saved my money and kept using tapes in pack
Leah R.
They are great easy to put on and take off
Leah R.
They stay on longer than the ones provided
karen j.
Fabulous easy to apply patches. I have tape sensitivities which is why I switched to these patches with no issues at all Plus I love the colour choice
Caz H.
Having the one patch makes a heap of difference when changing the sensor..the patches supplied with the sensor are useless so your product has made our life much easier..it would be great if you supplied the skin glue as the company who supply it are not great to deal with.
Gail T.
An absolute must with the diabetic sensors. Wonderful!
Great support team with our distributor of the patches.
Scott C.
Just what I was looking for! Great in the ocean and protects the Sensor very well!
Filisita W.
satisfied with my purchase, perfect and lasts longer. Will be purchasing more.
Kim H.
I love the patches, they so easy to use and they do not irritate my skin at all.
Hazel S.
Ryan was very helpful when I reported that I had not received the patches. Turned out to be an Australia Post problem but I very much appreciated his investigation that helped locate my order
Colin B.
I have just returned from a golf trip to Thailand. The heat,humidity, sweat and swimming was no match for my new best friend...THE TYPE STRONG BANDAGE...
Charlene W.
These are terrific! They don't come off until they are removed, no matter what activities you do.
Peter R.
Like the product but it took so long to get here I possibly won’t order them again.
Terri S.
The type strong are fantastic. I am rather round and they stick well and cover my sensor. They do not come off until I take it off
Sergi S.
The best on the market. Love them for my son. Flexible soft strong keeps the sensor in place all week and next of all doesn't hurt or leave red marks
Trudy O.
My 4 year old type 1 son had suffered severe allergic reactions to the tape provided from Medtronic so we tried numerous different companies nothing worked. As a last resort we decided to try the type strong and it has been an absolute game changer for us he has zero reaction to this adhesive!!
Jacob R.
These are the best patches I’ve found. Played a game of football on the muddiest oval I’ve ever seen and it stayed on without a hitch, Haven’t had one not last the week.
Natalie H.
OMG PURPLE
These patches are amazing:
Easy to put on!
Stay on!
And easy to get off because adhesive remover soaks right in so I don’t cry on removal anymore!
Plus now they come in purple which is my favourite colour
Geoffrey F.
Having used with FreeStyle Libre and now with Medtronic sensors the patches eliminate the risk of the sensors being dislodged.
Kelly T.
These work so well to keep my infusion sets on,being of menopause age an the sticky on sets kept coming off till I used these excellent product just wish pink was in stock
Kay B.
Cannot believe how good they are. Easy to apply. No rash which is a real bonus. Now need to order a coloured one!
laurence D.
I do not use the patch but I assist my wife Sandra (76 years Type 1 diabetic) to install CGM sensor into her upper arm and tape same with a Strong patch. Because of the cuts in the protection over the sticky side of the patch, it's much easier to remove the protection than any other patch we have used and hence much easier to form the patch over the sensor. Laurence (Laurie)
Ray B.
Theyre great mate. Simple to apply and no messy clean~up of skin area or sensor.
Sarah M.
These are great!!! They are long lasting and don’t leave nasty itchy rashes on my skin. LOVE THEM
Sarah M.
We have tried so many different types of adhesives to keep my 11yr old boys CGM where it should be. These are by far the BEST
Julie A.
My skin reacted badly to the CGM patches and I was ready to give up on CGM until my diabetes educator put me on to Type-strong, couldn’t be more impressed.
Annette R.
The patches are great. As someone with vision impairment they stop me knocking my sensor on doorways etc and i can sleep knowing It won’t dislodge
Annette L.
They stick! But they don't last a week!
Ashton H.
I started having a reaction to a different brand that I had been using for ages and so far these have been amazing! No itchy, sore skin or rash left behind, actually stay on for the full 7 days without any edges starting to lift! I will definitely be buying again! Very impressed.
Karen M.
Best one I have ever tried. Easy to put on and stays in place.
Rossiter K.
They are great Skin coloured and they do not ITCH
Scott A.
The type strong patches are great, seem to stick to my skin for the entire periods I have my infusion sets on , waterproof and no reaction with my skin.
Love them
Glad I was recommended this product.
I buy regularly now to have spare patches.
Cheers
Scott
Heidi B.
They stay in place & remove easily at the end of the week without leaving a big glue patch on my arm. Don't cause a rash in the heat.

The best patches I have used!
Type Strong CGM patches are the best I have used. They are a good size and don’t lift or peel at all.
They come away from the the skin easily when it’s time to remove and don’t irritate my skin.
I’ll be purchasing these regularly.
Denise
Great service and perfect Patches
I really love those patches, because they are super protective and perfect for a sensitive skin. I love the colors and they are really easy to apply.
Dave
Who would have thunk…
…that a sticky patch could make such a difference? News a CGM, I found the supplied sticky things very fiddle. My educator suggested these and it made an instant impact.makes life just that much easier. Cheers!
Lynne Bearcroft
Amazing!!
If you thinking of ordering these patches do it now!!
I wear a Medtronic Guardian 3 sensor and I have had trouble trying to attach them with the adhesive patches they provide.
I have been using fixamol but after a few days my skin becomes allergic to it. When I saw these patches advertised I was a bit sceptic, but decided to give them a try.
They really are amazing and so easy to use, they do not come away from the skin at all even when wet and hold my sensor in place perfectly.
I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.
Laura
Great patches! Hold my guardian sensor safe and secure all week
I bought these on recommendation of my lovely educator, and they have been the best thing!
These are the best patches I have ever used, and don't make my skin reacts (like the ones that come with the guardian sensors do!).
My favourite is the skin colour, blends in for me on my arm.
Dave
Fantastic for sensitive skin
My partner found these after watching me cutting up rockTape before going for a workout. Standard Medtronic tape and many other medical tapes caused irritation after a few days. I only use Type Strong patches now, fantastic product, easy to throw one in a work bag & awesome customer service. If there’s any issues Ryan is very easy to reach out to. Won’t buy any other patch again. 5/5 highly recommended.
Gillian Lewis
Stick well but not correct fit for Medtronic CGM
I have a Medtronic CGM and even though I purchased the patch for that product the piece in the centre is not correct shape for Guardian sensor and transmitter.Why isn't the prouct made with correct fit? I'm very happy with the way the product sticks but think the instructions on how to fit for Guardian CGMs is very poor
Susan Lazenby
Patches are strong and not itchy....
My daughter loves these patches, she is not reacting and isn't scratching, this is fantastic. The patches are strong and durable, would highly recommend.
Lisa
Not convinced
I had loads of trouble with the small, round sensor cover section. Medtronic sensors aren’t round. There is no way to use these patches without it sticking to some part of the Medtronic sensor. Not thrilled I bought two packs of these. If they had a shell-shaped sensor cover these would be great
Col Jones
Easier
Easier to apply, durable and easier on the skin.
Adz
:)
These patches are great !!!
Wendy
Love these patches!!!!!!!
Patches are the right size. Have had the first one on for 6 days and it looks like the minute I put it on. Very happy with these patches. Would recommend them to anyone.
Sharon Malcolm
5/5 stars!
Worked very well n was still securely stuck after a fortnight .. money well spent
Kylie
100% Happy!
Patches are working so well on my sweaty, footy loving 10 year old. I have had so much trouble with other patches peeling, damaging his skin and not lasting the distance of the sensor…. But these are doing the trick! My sons only request was for next time i purchase them could I see if I can buy a pack with mixed colours, he has had enough of the blue!
Robyn Godfrey
Love my New Patches!
I recently purchased the Type Strong patches for my Medtronic CGM. I love them! I bought the tan colour which blend in with my skin colour far better than the transmitter colour does. It sticks very well to my skin for the whole 7 days. The only thing that I find a little tricky is removing the second half tag, but I'm gradually getting better at it. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. Thanks Type Strong!
Terri Smith
Fantastic Type Strong
A great sturdy cover for my CGM.
Dries quickly after a shower and maintains the “stickiness” and does not come off!
Greatest product since the CGM.
Garrie Mills
Great patch
I purchase the trail offer first , and it work great for me . As I play agolf and use the Gym regularly and no problems with the sensor and transmitter,last the seven days .
The patch secures everthing in place ,no problems with it. A very neat patch when secured to the body .
Damien
Great patch
Patch has been fantastic no peeling on any of the edges have worn it for 7 days and due to change out my sensor, it performs well and no issues when playing sport.
Bianca
4 out of 5 stars
I have tried every patch and tape available on the market at this stage and am always looking for the perfect FIVE STARS.
These guys are a very high FOUR. They lose a star because I don't think the small 'non-stick dot' is big enough to cover my Guardian Sensor without pulling the sensor out with one-handed tape removal.
I'm allergic to most types of tape and I've had zero reaction to this tape. I like that it doesn't fray at the edges and look messy. I love that the overall size is small - it has perfect coverage! It stays put for the full time I need it to stay put - seven days. It is also easy to take off. It has a good amount of stretch too, which is handy for locations that tend to move a bit. It handles water well (just wait an hour or so before getting it wet), and the colour holds up too. I've started to decorate mine prior to using them, for a bit of something different :)
