Does anyone recommend a patch for libre for swimming or hot tub?
 
These are good. Although they can take on a few drops after prolonged swimming. In which case they are easy to renew.
 
They also really help with preventing 'knock offs'
I use them all the time tbh. They generally last 14 days for me.
 
I don't use any cover, but then I only stay in the pool for about 30 minutes. After a shower, for about 30 minutes, I get silly results on my libre. I suppose it has something to do with the hot water.

I used to use Opsite Flexifix, but moved onto these a few months ago as they work out cheaper. Have worked well in the pool for me. I do a 45 minute hard swim twice a week. Not had any issues.
