[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1077903, member: 211504"] Flexifix is awesome stuff, but when I need to, I apply it just before the sensor is ready to fall off. The problem I have when using it on a new sensor is that water gets trapped under the tape which causes the dexcom adhesive to fail faster. Eventually, this causes the sensor to move around ever so slightly (flexifix has some elasticity) which can cause some discomfort. If I needed to (and fortunately I don't), I'd apply the flexifix around day 10 (how long most of my sensors last without tape/glue) and then replace it every 3-5 days until the sensor eventually failed. I could probably get 20+ days out of it that way. [/QUOTE]
