"Makes my patches stay on for the full 10 days."
I have pretty oily skin, so my sensors usually start peeling by day 5 or 6. These wipes changed that. They make my skin just 'tacky' enough that the tape sticks way better, even when I'm sweating at the gym or in the shower. It’s a simple extra step but it makes a huge difference in how long everything lasts. Definitely worth the buy.

Don’t Take It From Us

 
I’m at the gym daily and these are a game changer. They make the skin slightly tacky so my overpatch actually stays on through heavy sweat. My sensor hasn't peeled once since I started using these as a base layer.

Total lifesaver for my sensitive skin. No more rashes!

I was about to stop using overpatches because the 'adhesive hunger' itch was driving me crazy. My skin would be bright red for days after a change. These barrier wipes create a perfect shield—no itching, no redness, and the patch actually sticks better. It dries fast too, so it doesn't add much time to my site prep. If you have reactive skin, just get them.

We use these for our son's Dexcom. It’s the only way his skin stays clear and healthy. Highly recommend for any T1D parents dealing with adhesive allergies!

Really impressed with how these work. They aren't greasy at all and they don't have that strong hospital smell. One wipe is more than enough to prep the area. It makes the adhesive bond much stronger but keeps the skin underneath protected.

Finally made it to day 10 without my edges lifting! These wipes help the patch grip so much better while keeping my skin from getting irritated. Definitely worth the extra step in my routine.

Simple Steps for Perfect Application

 
Step 1: Start with Clean
Start with Clean, Dry, Hairless Skin
Make sure the skin is completely dry and free of lotions or oils before application.
Step 2: Wipe the Area
Open one individually wrapped barrier wipe and apply it to the skin where your patch, CGM, or tape will go.
Step 3: Let It Dry
Allow the solution to fully dry (about 10–15 seconds). It will leave a slightly tacky surface to improve adhesion.
Step 4: Apply and Stick with Confidence.
Apply your patch or tape as usual — now with a stronger hold and gentler feel.

Stronger Hold. Healthier Skin. Happier You.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What do barrier wipes do?

Barrier wipes create a thin layer between your skin and the adhesive to reduce irritation and improve stick.

Do I really need a barrier wipe?

If your skin is prone to sweat, irritation, or slippage — yes. Barrier wipes help create a clean surface for better adhesion and protect skin from irritation.

Will they make the grip hard to remove?

No - they help with adhesion but won’t cause build-up or make removal difficult.

Will it affect my device reading or sensor?

No — apply the barrier wipe around (not under) the sensor adhesive area. Let it fully dry before applying your patch.

Are these hypoallergenic?

Yes! Our barrier wipes are dermatologist tested and safe for sensitive skin.
