📐 How long our stickers last
In short: On the sensor, stickers last for the full wear time (10 or 14 days); on device housings such as transmitters or pumps, they last several weeks.
Our stickers are made of printed vinyl with a transparent protective coating. They are waterproof and UV-resistant. You can use them while bathing, swimming, going to the sauna and spending time in the sun. On the sensor itself, they last for the entire sensor wear time (Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7: 10 days each, FreeStyle Libre 1, 2 and 3: 14 days, FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus: 15 days) [1,2]. On device housings such as transmitters, pumps or readers, they last significantly longer, often several weeks until the next scheduled replacement.
❓ Frequently asked questions about sensor stickers
Do the stickers hold up while swimming, bathing and in the sauna?
Yes. The protective coating makes the stickers waterproof. After visiting the swimming pool, pat them dry briefly instead of rubbing, which is gentler on the adhesive. For long sauna sessions, we recommend gently drying the sensor in between.
Are the stickers suitable for children's skin?
Stickers are applied to the housing of the sensor, transmitter or device, not to the skin. They are printed with solvent-free and nickel-free inks. If the skin around the sensor or tape is sensitive, talk to your diabetes team; you can find background information in the article Help with skin irritation caused by sensors and catheters.
How long do the stickers last?
On the sensor: for the entire sensor wear time. For the Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7, that is 10 days each [2]; for the FreeStyle Libre 1, 2 and 3, 14 days each; and for the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus, 15 days [1]. On device housings such as transmitters, pumps or readers, stickers last several weeks, often the entire three-month runtime of a Dexcom G6 transmitter [2].
Can I combine stickers with tapes or sensor holders?
Yes. Stickers sit directly on the sensor, camouflage tapes surround it on the skin, and sensor holders are pulled over the whole thing. All three can be combined. The stickers remain visible or are partially covered by the tape, depending on the tape size.
What should you do if a Sticker comes loose at the edge?
Press down briefly with your thumb; the adhesive is activated by heat. If an edge comes off permanently, you can carefully peel off the Sticker and apply a new one. The value pack includes spares.
