I am not happy with the sensor because it not stick on well when I workout at the gym. It come off easily. I try to cover it with IV3000 1-hand adhesives. I even use two of them. I sweat a lot. my whole shirt will be wet after one hour cardio workout. Any idea for me.

I find that most of the dressings like IV3000 and Tegaderm don't hold up well if you sweat a lot. Look for something called Hypafix. It's like cloth and comes on a roll. It breathes and allows sweat & moisture to evaporate so it doesn't collect under the tape and cause it to peel up.

Hypafix is the first tape like thing Ive found that actually sticks

how do you use the hypafix , do you just cut the hole in the middle to fit around the edges of the sensor , what about the sweat under the original sensor tape . Could you place the sensor directly on the hypafix ? I'm having the same problem and i live in florida , spend a lot of time in the pool or the ocean and that doesn't help at all , plus gym and the sensor falls off even before the first 10 hour warm up :(
