Hiya my daughter uses the omnipod but seems to have lost the sticky on the pods. Anyone got any tips for this please x
Ring up the company and complain and say you expect replacements (if daughter isn't inadvertently causing the problem) Is your daughter using body lotion or talc on her body before she places the pod?Hiya my daughter uses the omnipod but seems to have lost the sticky on the pods.

Then complain big time and yellowcard the product as not fit for purpose https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/She doesn't use anything. I pod change her
She doesn't use anything. I pod change her
As noblehead and carbsrock have pointed out, it could also be a faulty batch!
The Hypafix tape is pretty reasonable on Amazon and lasts a while...you get a 10m roll for £5 and you only need to cut two small strips each time you apply the pod. The adhesive lasts till the next pod change.
Also, I forgot to mention that my son avoids wearing it on his abdomen/arms as the pod does not seem to stick well on these sites. He has never had an issue on other sites like back, bum or legs. May be try a different site and see if that helps.
