Price Changes

Why are prices increasing now?

We’ve worked hard to keep prices steady despite rising manufacturing and import costs—but new tariffs have made that impossible to sustain. We’ve held off as long as we could, cutting back in other areas first (like ads and operations), but in order

How much is the price increase and which products are affected?

Skin Grip Patches will increase by $2–$3. You’ll see the updated pricing reflected on our website starting May 6. Accessories will remain at the current price point. If this changes at any point, we will be sure to provide an update.

Is my subscription price increasing too?

Current subscriptions will retain their existing pricing. However, the new base prices will apply starting on May 6. You’ll still get 10% off the updated prices.

Can I still order now at the old price?

Yes! Any orders placed before May 6 will reflect current pricing and the existing $45 free shipping threshold.

Why is the free shipping threshold increasing?

Shipping and fulfillment costs have also increased over time, and raising the threshold from $45 to $50 helps us absorb some of those rising expenses without cutting corners on product quality or service.

Do these changes affect international orders too?

The price increases will apply globally. Shipping thresholds and rates for international orders will remain the same for now.

I’m struggling to afford my patches—do you offer assistance?

Is Skin Grip okay as a business?

We appreciate your care! Yes—we’re stable and committed to the long haul. These adjustments are proactive steps to make sure we stay healthy as a business and can keep supporting the diabetes community for years to come.

Will you lower prices again if costs go down?

We’re always watching and adjusting. If we’re ever in a position to lower prices again, we absolutely will.

Are you still made in the USA or did something change with manufacturing?

Great question! About 90% of our products have always been manufactured in China, and we’ve always been transparent about that. We work closely with trusted partners and ensure all products are made in FDA-registered facilities that follow strict qua
