Hi guys

Being a dexcom user and pump user I have used a few products to aid with adhesion - cavilon barrier spray and mastisol have been the usual aids along with grifgrips on top.

I've found mastisol to be quite messy - too sticky when it gets on your fingers and not always sticky enough for sensors!

I've purchased 3 bottles of liquid skin tac from America as it seems a bit better and has good reviews.

Can anyone else who uses it say anything about possible fakes? The box looks all good but I can't help thinking the label on the bottle could be printed on a home computer?!

Pics attached....

Hi, I also use Skintac bought from the USA. No idea whether yours are fake but I doubt you'll get through 3 bottles - my one will probably last me 3 lifetimes! That assumes I don't spill it, which would be very, very, messy...

Ha! Yup I'm thinking of sticking feathers to my cat with it... ;) I am pretty sure they are all gtg. Been using it for my dexcom and pump and no issues and good adhesion.

Was surprised as I have seen prices much higher than what I paid for them!
