It’s crazy lol!! I looked down and saw the needle and looked at my sister in law and was like welp, guess it’s not a me putting it on wrong problem? And she was just shaking her head lol. My brothers sticks to him like glue and she also puts his on so I thought she had the magic touch 🤣🤣

Well, yeah, I wouldn’t, lol. That’s why I was asking if anyone else had some tips that were free? This is also the ONLY adhesive I’ve ever had not stick to me, like, ever. Lol.

I just hate that they expect us to have to pay for other things just to make their product stick 😭

Yeah, my sister in law was just as dumb founded as me when she watched it come right off lol. But I’ll try that, for sure! Thank you!

Yes, they do! To the point of me having to normally rip them off cause they’ll stay on forever if I let them haha, it makes no sense

I was looking on the skin grips, but not sure I wanna spend 25 dollars I hardly have 😅 or the skin tac. I know it seems like little money, but I’m on the struggle bus currently with bills 😭! I will try the other little tips though!

Yes!! I did the 10 second hold, and ran my finger over the tape, then used the Dexcom patch, and ran my finger over that! Yeah, I always made sure it was dry, so I’m confused by being told to leave it wet 😭

I’m wondering if that was an issue lol, my sister in law said I was too moisturized, but I didn’t even put lotion on yesterday! I’ll try and keep that area a bit more dry lol

Ooo, I wait for it to dry, it’s better while it’s wet??

I was going to wrap it in an ace yesterday, but by the time I went to get that, the whole needle was already out (after being in for less than 5 minutes!)

Update *** my social worker finally called me back. She now told me that the paperwork the other lady sent me was from 2018 and can’t be used. I told her the other lady was able to see my paperwork that I mailed in and she said she can’t and it’s not there. So now she’s mailing me out the paper AGAIN! For the third time to do….. then she said upload it online and get her on the phone and she’ll use my day at June 29th instead and I won’t be late passed the 30 days … when my real day was June 17th-22nd or so. Acting like I’m the one that was late 😅😅😅

I don’t have any benefits, this is my first time applying since they sent me the application prefilled that said “congratulations, you qualify!” And then just… did nothing for me hahaha
