What is the difference between the Libre Perfect Fit and the Libre Overpatches and which is recommended for the best longevity?Updated a year ago
Both are designed to keep your sensor in place, but one is designed to "hug" your sensor in place and the other is designed to cover your sensor in full.
We recommend our Libre Perfect Fit (with a hole and hugs your sensor in place) for the best longevity and wear time. These are designed to fit very snugly around your sensor and attach to the exposed adhesive on the Libre sensor itself. Since these are designed to fit very snugly around the sensor, the tape should be placed around your sensor prior to removing any of the backing to ensure the proper fit. Once in place, slowly remove the backing and smooth the tape onto your skin.
We have an application video right on our website and I have provided a link below:

We also have a blog which may help in providing some additional information for you (added bonus, there is a photo showing what the applied tape looks like!):
