Be sure the soap has no cream, bath oil, or lotion in it. Even a small amount of soap residue will affect the adhesive. BarbaraB. Have you changed the brand of bathing soap you are using?

The tape won't stick for anything and the infusion set is pulling out. I have been pumping for 4 months exactly today (YIPPEE, kind of gives a new meaning to indepedence day for me..LOL) and Ihave never had this problem!! I can't even say that I am sweating more or anything like that. At least then I could understand it or if I had access to a swiming pool or hot tub. This is a brand new box that I just opened at the begining of the week. I am wondering if there isn't something wrong with the tape not being sticky enough? I ran into 2 people with pumps in the mall yesterday, we started talking about the pump (yes, everyone in the store thought we were crazy, but there are so few pumpers in this area, it was exciting..LOL) the one lady is an IV nurse, she suggested that after you prep the site and it dries and you insert your set to use the IV prep again <!--more--> around the edges of the tape and that helps to hold it a little bit better. SHe said that they do this is the hospital with IV's. I tried it and so far so good (at least for today anyway). Good Luck and if you find a solution please pass it on to me. Have a great 4th of July!! Chera Catie,
