Keeping Omnipod on legs

I've just moved to Omnipod5 and wondered if anyone has any recommendations for keeping this on a leg site - every pod I've applied I've ripped off when going to the loo (despite all best intentions).
Have resigned this site to the bin, but know there will be times I want/need to use so would appreciate any tips/tricks! Thanks
 
I invariably keep mine at the top of my thighs, travelling across my stomach area and to the other leg. At first I found myself catching the pod but that’s fairly rare now and I have never ripped one off. That might be luck rather than anything else! Sorry, I don’t have any great tips, for me it was just getting into the habit of taking things more cautiously.
