For me - the pod adhesive lasts 3 days under normal use. I only use skintac on CGM sensors.

I had a batch of pods a year ago that had adhesive that was not that great and I used skintac to keep them on.

With the PODs I have been getting these days, there is more than enough adhesive left after 3-days and they are hard to peel off.
