The adhesives on the sensors Chris sent me look and appear to be of better quality, and I switched abdomen sides. I was surprised to see my skin is well intact from the previous sensor, and is reacting to the air very well. No rash like that rando said I would get in comments on here lol. I will count my blessings on that. ---

I sent you a couple of our older sensors, so the newer ones have a smaller injector and may have different adhesive. ---

> [@Necroplasm](#): > > was a b\*tch to pull off Do you use Unisolve? I highly recommend it! We use the liquid version poured into a cotton ball, liberally applied on and all around the sensor and in 30 seconds to a minute or comes right off. Also gets rid off the remaining adhesive on the skin really well. ---

I think it might’ve been due to the fact that it was faulty, so I only had it adhered for about 6 hours before I tried removing it. This time it was a lot easier (and less messy) to remove the sensor, as my body had healed under the sensor site and at 10 days later it didn’t look that bad. ---

Sure, because all that crisco will just make it slide right off. Gracefully. 🙇‍♀️ ---

@Necroplasm wait until you get a heavy bleeder. For me the best 10 days of sensor values (after it settles down), but a mess to clean up after ---

I was wondering this, too! I haven’t noticed any difference in the G6 sensors in the 2 years I’ve been using them. I guess I should be more observant! ---

They have been shipping for the last 3 refills to our house. The box is smaller and the injector is smaller. Have no idea if the adhesive changed. ---

The newer adhesives from my observation are a bit wider in thickness around the transmitter, and the material they are made out of appears softer in texture. That was my observation. [Previous page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/the-22nd-of-june-is-my-2nd-sensor-setup/11509.md?page=1)
