Good afternoon,

I have been advised to change my cannula site so am now using near the bottom of my back/top of my bottom but am finding this is where my trouser/skirt line sits so am worried i'll accidentally pull out the cannula when I pull down my trousers. I wondered if anyone has heard of, or wears something that covers the cannula, but which still allows access to remove the cannula clip when I shower etc.

Any recommendations welcome.

Thank you in advance!
Alison

I don't wear a pump so I have no idea but would Citiderm or Tegaderm film patches be suitable? If you put something between the sticky film and whatevers it covers you can easily change them without dislodging anything, I might be absolutely way off being on MDI but thought I'd suggest it anyway, I hope you can find something that works for you xx
