Adjomom replied to Shawn MacKay's discussion 'Omni pod and Tough mudder' in the group OmniPod Users"You should get tegaderm (or whatever your favorite tape like substance is).

FHS replied to Shawn MacKay's discussion 'Omni pod and Tough mudder' in the group OmniPod Users"Ditto on the kinesio tape. I use it to keep my pod on during jiujitsu.

Scott Wilkins replied to Shawn MacKay's discussion 'Omni pod and Tough mudder' in the group OmniPod Users"I've got a couple suggestions.
First suggestion, wear it on an arm or leg and wrap it up good. Not too tight, but completely to hold on to it in case of bumps and rubbing. I wrap mine in what I call "sports tape" to hold it on my arm…"
