RockaDex Omnipod overtape Adhesive Patch, Extra Secure & Water Resistant. (Mix Pack)

I have a very young, type 1 diabetic, who has been on omnipod since 18 months old (six months after Dx). I have tried EVERYTHING out there in the last four years to keep his stupid pods on while swimming, to include, not just pod adhesives, but also, IV tapes, pediatric NICU tape, to the most “supposedly adherents” such as some kind of goo that seriously looked like rubber cement, but was made for skin. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING could hold a pod on that little boy if there was a pool involved. Well, we had a planned vacation to Florida and (of course) the resort we were staying at had a pool with a waterfall, volcano AND water slides (a little boys dream come true, a diabetic moms worst nightmare). So, I ordered these, with absolutely NO HOPE of them working, as I have sorely been disappointed in the past by other similar products and packed 20 pods for a ten day vacation. BOY WAS I SURPRISED!!! They held up! Three days in and daily visits to the pool and his pod actually expired!!! Didn’t think I’d hear those beeps the whole trip! Not only that, but you know how you have to wait 24 hours to make sure the pod adhesive actually adheres before showering? Well, sure enough, we promised the pool after dinner and guess when the pod beeped? Right BEFORE dinner (of course). So, numbed him up, replaced the pod, threw one of these over it and he went right out the door to the pool and it STILL STAYED ON! So yeah, I’m sold. No rashes, came off easily with unisolve and I have now decided to keep these on hand for pools, splash pads, pretty much ANYTHING outside of water.

My son has very sensitive skin and he's fairly active. As it's summer he's in the pool non stop when he's able. These patches hold up amazingly well! They are easy to apply and come in a pattern for everyone. We are absolutely repeat customers!

There are no instructions on how to remove these adhesive patches from their backing nor how to actually put these over the Omnipod. Colors are wonderful and design are nice. Found out just by doing and such that once you get the patch off of it's backing (which you have to do it all at once) that once you start to put over the pod and skin; you start at top or bottom and stretch the patch over the entire pod. If you don't that you won't have enough patch to cover and surround the Omnipod. These would work better if there was a half-way point that you peel off backing and start to put over the pod and once that is smooth you peel off the other half and put on. Instructions would have been nice. Now since we know how to use these we might purchase more just for the fun colors and designs.

Waterproof, easy apply, stays on, shields the pump. I constantly rip my pump off and had the worst bandages ever! With RockDex, Easy to apply, and saves me from worrying about the pump not being secure! Thank you!!

I wanted to like these to use with my Omnipod but these are not my favorite. I have got where I will cut the part that is suppose to cross the pod, I will cut that off to make it fit around the pod. The adhesive seems to be okay also. They seem to stick fine )even with skin tact) but after a day, they start to not stick. I use these for my dexcom also, it is the same after a day or so they start to loose their adhesive capabilities. It is too much money especially when they make the pod or the dexcom to not stick then you have lost a pod, insulin, or a sensor….. it is too much money wasted!
