Does anyone wear a band around the rig
I tried that and it did not work for me. Instead I used adhesive catheter patches (rather like a large plaster) which have a velcro tab to retain the tube. Each lasted about a week of showering before they decided to detach from the skin. As I was in treatment in the winter I wore a vest which also helped ensure I did not catch my clothes on the tube.
Hi Chris this is what I used. Let me know if the link does not work
