Also, when convenient, I'll change pods after showering. The pod peels off really easily then."

Kate replied to Michele Horn's discussion 'what else can i use to secure pod besides tagaderm??' in the group OmniPod Users"+2 Flexifix! You can also use Unisolve to remove any adhesive instead of just tearing it off :)"
"Hi Michele. I knocked them off all the time.Started using Kineso Tape and no more problems.Sticks very well including under water. Doesn't leave any glue attached upon pod removal. I do use a skin prep before application of anything. Calilon by…"
laurathepluralized replied to Michele Horn's discussion 'what else can i use to secure pod besides tagaderm??' in the group OmniPod Users"Another vote for Opsite Flexifix! You can get it in a roll and then cut it to the size you need. My Omnipod trainer also recommended MeFix, which is a strip of adhesive made of the same adhesive the pod uses that you can put over top of the pod to…"
Catherine Jane Vancak replied to Michele Horn's discussion 'what else can i use to secure pod besides tagaderm??' in the group OmniPod Users"Hmm, back in the day I would use liquid bandaid to keep it secure. It would only last a day before I would have to reapply. May be worth a try. I also used athletic tape too!"
Brian Whitlock replied to Michele Horn's discussion 'what else can i use to secure pod besides tagaderm??' in the group OmniPod Users"I use OpSite Flexifix for my Dexcom sensor. It comes on a roll and is similar to tagaderm, doesn't tear up my skin. It is similar to tagaderm, so, you might want to get a sample first."
Jodi replied to Michele Horn's discussion 'what else can i use to secure pod besides tagaderm??' in the group OmniPod Users"I use paper tape to secure it better if the adhesive or pod itself has lifted, you can get it at Walgreens or probably any drug store. It's doesn't hurt your skin at all.... Hope that helps!"
Janet Ballone replied to Michele Horn's discussion 'what else can i use to secure pod besides tagaderm??' in the group OmniPod Users"I just wear tight underwear or pantyhose and never had a problem."
