Libre sensor strap

[SB2015]

Has anyone tried one of these?

I saw them online and it basically a ring which fits over the sensor and two buckles to secure the elastic strap. I am not sure whether it would feel a bit weird, but wondered whether to try for when I am having a good soak in the bath, or a swim, in order to avoid it coming off at those vulnerable times.

Abbott don't recommend them as if they get caught they can also aid in knocking the sensor off, also seen on a few facebook groups that the straps are that tight people end up bruised from them, its not something I would personally go for but you could always try it out and see how it works for you xx

I find a bit of micropore tape does the trick (I fold it over and snip a 'V' in it before sticking it on, so I avoid covering the hole in the sensor). You can peel it off gently afterwards, at an angle, without pulling on the sensor. My concern about a strap would be, as Kaylz says, catching the strap and dislodging the sensor, or having to have the strap so tight that it constricted the blood flow in my arm (round the back of my arm, where I normally put the sensor, I've got a bit of a 'bingo wing' situation, despite assiduous triceps exercises)

Thanks @Robin and @Kaylz you have both confirmed what I thought might be the case.
I shall stick with my tegaderm.
