[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 638000, member: 66676"] Hi [USER=27914]@MushyPeaBrain[/USER] , Yes, I've always had mine set to slow delivery; but around 8 months ago I also reduced the delivery step down to 0.1u from 0.5 and that has also made a huge difference in that respect. Mind you, I don't think I knew that about the Vibe's power, so maybe another pump is the option. Actually, the main cannula issue I have at the moment is being caused by the baby carrier - it has a waist strap that needs to be tight. The trouble is, it sits in a position that generally covers the areas I tend to use :rolleyes: sometimes catching and pulling at the wings or pushing the cannula in / against other tissue/muscle if the strap is covering it. :inpain: I shall try out both your and Spikers suggestion about longer cannulas, although I suspect that I may have quite thin skin - especially now with the flab loss that's occurred over the past 8-9 months. Thanks for your help as well - very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
