Yes! I had the same trouble, both with the Omnipod and Silhouette. Polyskin helped with both.

I find the Skin Tac (I get mine from Animas with my pump supplies) works the best. With the Skin Tac, I've caught my pump on a doorknob and pulled it off my belt rather than pulling the site off.

I've tried Skin Prep and IV solutions, but they didn't work.

What are the sticky wipes called that make the skin sticky? The last couple of weeks we've started having trouble with the pod falling off.

My daughter is on the Ping and I was wondering how you all are using deodorant to keep the site on. Do you just rub deodorant all over the site before swimming? I'm intrigued.

you spray antiperspirant, not deodorant, on the site before applying the site. It's something you do before you put the site on.

YAY! I ordered some and it arrived and now the pod will stick again on her stomach. It's such a trouble area. Thanks for this.
