[QUOTE="iHs, post: 173693, member: 8799"] Transpore tape is like very strong clear sellotape with perforations going through it to allow the skin to breathe. You can get it in most chemists so ask to see it first. Transpore is sometimes used to keep dressings in place in hospitals. I don't have that much trouble with sets staying in but I think this is due to the fact that I quickly wipe the site area with an alcohol swab (eBay :lol: ) which ensures that the area is free from any moisture cream or grease residue. I know that this is not recommended by dsns or pump reps as they say that it dries out the skin (which is does) but by wiping the area with a swab and then saving it to wipe any adhesive residue away from the set you take out, it kills 2 birds with 1 stone :wink: I 'set' on one side of my body for about 4 weeks then change over to the other side. The side that I'm not using, I rub plenty of Vit E, Bio OIl or Cocoa Butter lotion. [/QUOTE]
