Old arms and G7 overpatches

Don’t want to bring @James.J.Igoe post off track as well as older posts.
Problem with G7 and it seems to be two fold
a) Sleeping and getting a failed sensor when on right arm as I am a back/right side sleeper. I don’t get any alarms just failed sensor.
b) Having the sensors fall off or become too loose to have accurate readings.
Trying to deal with this at the moment. Bought some Tegaderm large patches. Tried cutting in 2 and they are not quite big enough. Also noticed they were tight even though I did not stretch it. They rolled up immediately which they did many years ago when I quit using them. Next tried Skintac and the large patch. Total fail.
It seems as though when I lift my arm to put on the patch the skin is firm but as soon as I lower my arm the skin becomes that jiggily old arm and the patch is too tight.
For the life of me I can’t figure out how to do it when my lowered arm is flat by my side. Any ideas?
The Glad press and seal seems to be doing a good job protecting it in the shower but need to figure out how to swim as it seems in my limited experience that the water really messes it up.
Thanks.
