Am going to google Vetrap as never heard of it. Opsite is costing me a fortune.

They are very different things - as you know, Opsite is a spray which is often used as a barrier whereas Vetrap is like a sticky bandage used on animals.

I put kinesiology tape on it (essentially rock tape but not as expensive). Works a treat and lasts 2 weeks.

I've been using Libre for two years now. Have tried many different things, the best combination i've come across is:
1, shave the area
2, apply Skintac to the area before application
3, apply a 5 cm strip with the edges rounded off of KT tape over the sensor once applied.
The KT tape will last about 5 days before it starts to peel off, so carefully remove and apply a new piece, but it only costs £5.00 for a 50 mtr roll so relatively cheap.

No, Opsite Flexifix transparent roll. I pre spray with Cavillon. 4 layers!! As I said it’s all costing me a fortune. I need to cover with waterproof dressing for the battering it gets at swimfit.
