I use an alcohol swab prior to a new pod....I feel it helps it stay on better.

Ooooooo!! Very helpful Scott! Interesting that the alcohol swaps process is discouraged in the UK. I usually switch right after I shower, so I'll try it out sans swab. Thanks!!

Hi qnsgrl! Welcome aboard. I too have sensitive skin on my face. I had an itchy reaction to skintac when I used it to stick the pod on my abdomen. I have bee using just alcohol to prep the site on my arms and haven't had a issue. Sometimes when I remove it, the area is redder than usual, but it goes away within he hour. As for the pod expiring, did it run our of insulin?

So i am a brand new omnipod user. I switched from the medtronic minimed. I seem to be having a reaction to the adhesive though. Ive only been wearing the omnipod 5 days, i wore the first pod about a day before I had to change bc of an error, and the second one for about 2.5-3 days before it told me that it expired. Ive changed my site completely from where my other pump was. But the second time I took the pod off it was red and itchy from where the tape was and took sometime before it stopped bothering me.I have semi-sensitive skin, but usually I only have a problem on my face Anyone else have this issue when they were new to the pod?

Hi all, I'm brand new to the site and brand new to OmniPod, 5 days on it. I just switched from an almost 5 year relationship with my minimed.

Try Bands4Life. They are made of swimsuit material, to your size. My son finds that they work great on his arm, in and out of the pool.
