I have worn mine on my upper thigh and also below bikini line. It seems to me it works perfectly well there. Don't be put off by the lack of licence. Just give it a go and see what works for you. Especially in the summer....what summer!!!Hello,
I have been using the freestyle libre with great results but i have been getting a little down as so many people think that the sensor is a nicorette patch and i am giving up smoking! (I have never smoked a cigarette in my life!)
Does anyone place the sensor anywhere other than their arm? Now that we are in summer months this is becoming a daily occurrence that i get questions.
Many thanks
Sarah
I've just been offered a Freestyle but reading all the above makes it sound as though using one is going to be more hassle than it's worth. Wished I'd read these posts prior to signing the form....! My diabetes nurse said it was worn on the inside of the upper arm. Has anyone tried it there or does it have to be the back?
Hello
I wear mine on the top of my inside leg, the reason for this is I do a lot of weight training, and it simply won’t go into my muscle on my arm , been using it there since they cane out , you can’t see it at all and it’s works spot on
I get asked this question all the time!Hello,

I know you asked this a while ago and it’s no longer in the summer, but in the chance you see this, I definitely recommend patterned or coverful adhesive patches! It makes it look more like some kind of sensor and actually helps keep the sensor in place for the full 14 days.Hello,
