Hi Lance a-lot! (I’m loving it to!) I have been given three sets to trial which I’m doing at the moment.

Above is the link to the UK site- I hope nel you can access it. I have found them quite good so far. The adhesive disk is smaller but the whole disk is adhesive unlike the quickset so you get the same stick for less adhesive. The hard plastic bit on the top is also smaller which is good but it isn’t as rounded as the quickset and it is a little more ‘rough’ than the quickset.
The applicator comes as part of the disposable so you don’t have an inserter or serter as its built in. It does have a needle which is removed after the insertion.
A negative, if being environmentally sound, is that there is alot more wasted plastic which you can not recycle after as the inserter, with built in needle, is obviously not recyclable and has to be thrown as clinical waste.
I’ve tryed one in my buttock and thigh and so far have found them comfortable and seem very secure. Going to try the last one in my stomach and see how they go.
They are more expensive. In UK they are £90.60 for ten rather than £87.03 for quicksets- only a little more but every little helps!
On the whole I like them and I am thinking about converting to them. If your interested will let you know how the stomach insertion goes! D
