TracySue123 replied to Tab's discussion 'Skin tac' in the group OmniPod Users"I use the liquid skin tac and it does help to secure my pods. I also use adhesive remover before I pull it off. I have taken pods off without it but it's easier and less irritating with the adhesive remover.
Have a great vacation! :)"
