I too go to the gym daily, cycle to work and back, shower twice a day and ive had a steam and a jacuzzi..... my sensor stayed on without tape. At the end of 14 days..... i had to really pull it off.
Mine did come off, twice and from two different batches. Abbott insisted on the phone that they shouldn't do this. I don't know how to say this nicely but some people sweat, other people SWEAT. I'm a SWEATER, and I'm 100% this is what lifted the sensor because when I stopped and dried off the sensor would re-stick with the same strength as when I initially attached it. I guess I created a barrier between my skin and the sticky stuff.
I ordered and used some Opsite Flexigrid and this stuff is great, I'll probably cut a hole in the middle of a self cut rectangle next time as I've simply stretched it over the top for now, but I had no problems whatsoever with the sensor dislodging my last gym trip and the Flexgrid stuff blends in and is almost invisible/un-feelable.
