A quick fix for a loose Eversense transmitter whose adhesive that may have weakened due to sweat, humidity, or swimming.
Just for my Eversense family:
We may have, from time to time, had the occasion where the adhesive beneath our transmitter may become weak and loosen, and even fall off completely. I have an epic story about that here.
Here’s one simple fix for these occasions, where no additional adhesive or tapes are necessary, when I know the adhesive may become compromised, like before a long run on a hot day, for example.
Below are my simple steps to this fix.
Step 1:
Get an athletic style sock, ether new, or one that's used but still has some life left in the elastic bands at the top.
Step 2:
Cut the top, elastic section off the sock and make a band that's going to cover your transmitter plus a few extra inches above and below.
Step 3:
Pull this band up your arm and over you transmitter, so that your transmitter is situated in the center beneath the band. Unroll and sections that may have rolled up under your arm.
All Set
The next two pictures show the results from a test run on a warm, sunny day where the chances were pretty high that I may lose a transmitter due to sweat.
After my run, I could see the adhesive failing beneath the transmitter, but the sock remedy held it in place.
