Keeping a Libre 2 on arm when swimming/showering

[smc4761]

I find that on occasions when swimming or taking frequent showers my Libre 2 starts to come away from my skin near the end of the 10th/11th day
I am thinking of trying some tape to hold in place or perhaps an armband. Does anyone have any experience of using either and do you have a preference. Thanks

I always use this over my sensor.
It usually stays on for the full 14 days, occasionally I need to apply a new patch halfway through.

I have been using Hypafix for a different purpose (never thought of using it to hold a Libre it place) and wanted to relay my recent experience.
I ordered a new box/roll from eBay. I was careful to check the reviews of the vendor and that they are UK based. All looked good so I was disappointed when the parcel arrived. They had posted Mefix instead of the Hypafix that was in the picture and description.
Unfortunately, Mefix uses a water soluble glue so not great for holding something in place in shower or pool.
Moral of my story is to take care when ordering cheap Hypafix.

I use a tegaderm dressing and can swim for an hour with no problems.

I use these from Amazon when I go swimming
