"Tried two other omnipod pads that were less expensive from a big online retailer. They were inferior to Sugar Medicals. I just wish they were less expensive. :-) As one with "senior" dexterity these are easier to put on and remove. As often as i need to change the pod, I hope I can still afford to use them!"
"I love the product; it helps to secure the OmniPod during bathing and while I sleep. I'm a restless sleeper. The only issue I have with this product is the price. It is extremely hard to purchase them since I'm on a disability fixed income."
"These overlays have been helpful to us in keeping our daughter's (23 months old) Omnipod in place, especially when placed on her thigh. Because she is so active, the pod can easily be bumped and accidentally removed if worn without the overlay. The material is soft and stretchy and can be removed fairly easily with baby oil compared to some other overlays we have tried. However, the trade-off is that it can somewhat easily come off when submerged in the bathtub. Overall, it is worth it to us because we find that it does help the pod stay in place most of the time and doesn't hurt her too much to remove. However, if we were planning to go swimming or take her to the beach, we would choose a sturdier brand like SimPatch."
"I purchased these Omnipod Adhesive Overlays to help keep my pod from falling off when going in and out of the pool. It did well and was able to keep the pod from falling off. My only complaint is that paying $10 for a thin piece of adhesive paper is a bit expensive. That's $1. 50 each with shipping costs. Should be less expensive."
"The product works well with Skintac. I just wish it had a strip across it to better secure the omnipods."
"Pod placement is not always easily reached especially when long term use dictates less convenient areas be used. The lack of stiff backing over the entire non sticky side makes avoiding significant creases and folds impossible at times"
"Great adhesion. As a gardener I get really hot and sweaty. Other adhesives melted and my pod fell off. No worries with Pod Pals, even the edges stay sealed."
"I love Omnipod, but my biggest problem has been pods falling off early before the 3 days are up. I live in Florida, so between the sweat and humidity, I’ve lost so many to the adhesive coming loose. PodPals are literally the only overpatch that work for me and keeps them on for the full 3 days. They don’t irritate my sensitive skin at all and still stick so well. Super impressed and now I automatically put a PodPal on with every new pod change. They should come with the Omnipods because they are necessary!"
"You have to find another hand to get it applied properly. We change locations from side to side. I’m old and hands are a bit arthritic"
"The pod pals are the best for keeping the omnipod in place, particularly when out in the summer heat. Both swimming and working up a sweat working in the yard, the pods stay in place. I've tried several other brands, found from competing companies, and these by far are the best both for wearing and for placing it over the omnipod."
