Can you use this over an hrt patch, will it keep the hrt patch on?

Frankly, no! They're too small and come unstuck really quickly and easily. I'm a Type I Diabetic and use a Libra Sensor which weighs more than an HRT patch but does need to stay insitu for 14 days each time. Having tried several different styles of patch and been disappointed in them all I now use Funwill 10cmX10m Waterproof Transparent Adhesive Wound Dressing Fixer Plaster Stretch Fixation Tape. Amazon ref BO7FLV5551. It's twice as wide and can be cut to the desired length. Personally, I cut mine 10cms which gives a complete square and I swim, bathe and shower with this on and experience no problems. The best advice I can give for any type of adhesive cover is to ensure there's absolutely no creases when applying it, especially on the edges. Hope this helps and good luck.

Can you swim with this product and it remain completely waterproof?

This product is excellent and totally waterproof in a shower but as the adhesion us low tac it probably is not suitable for a long swim. Maybe I will test it one day!

Hi My scar size is 9.5 cm. Would the dressing pad and sticky film be suitable to cover this for a couple of hours in a swimming pool?

No, as the film is 6x7 cm. I recommend to choose a bigger size.

I wanted something to protect my dexcom g6 sensor when i am on holiday - swimming and waterparks etc. is this suitable?

I'd have to say an absolute NO. I had my first sensor in December and, after knocking it off within two days, bought these hoping they'd secure it. When they stick they're brilliant but they only last three or four days (even less when in high heat) which makes them very expensive and, if you don't put it EXACTLY central over the sensor, they don't last that long. Even though it comes unstuck from your skin, it sticks like superglue to the sensor and the only way to do it is to cut around the sensor to remove it before applying another one. Within six months and twelve sensors, five have come off before time. I've now changed over to Funwill 10cmX10m Waterproof Transparent Adhesive Wound Dressing Fixer Plaster Stretch Fixation Tape. It's wider and can be cut to the desired length giving the sensor much more stability and stays in place which, of course, is the desired effect. Describing your holiday persuits, I'd be tempted to use the strip and put it right around your arm. It's not visible and this would give you leave of mind when you're in the water. Good luck and have a great holiday.

Great product

Great used these dressings to cover stitches. Lasted more than a couple of days when showering. Kept my wound dry. For what I used them for I was very happy with them.

really helpful

super helpful to cover numbing cream as stops it from sticking and coming off elsewhere and it means you can wear long sleeves over it.

Perfect size for HRT patches

The perfect size for HRT patches. They’re supposed to stick down all the way around. It’s not ok for them to be lifting off at the edges. These film dressings are absolutely perfect. Sunday left cheek - Thursday right cheek. I get better absorption with these. Game changer. Can not recommend highly enough

Product was ok

Product was as expected however I have taken a star off as these where stapled together therefore damaging the packaging and making them not sterile for what I was using them for as the staple was touching the edge of the dressing. So having to use them for cream and not to cover a needle site as planned. It could be done with a elastic band or a envelope and still hold them all together no need to staple them.

Avevo bisogno di un cerotto per evitare che si staccasse con il caldo l'adesivo dell'ago sottocutaneo che porta mio marito. È un prodotto fantastico.

Io li uso per proteggere il sensore del diabete e tengono l'acqua e non si staccano facilmente. Ottima misura. Consigliato
