keeping sites on.

[Lauraathome]

Does anyone have a good solution to keeping sites on while swimming or even just playing on a slide in the yard with water? We have had a terrible time keeping sites on. We are going on a houseboat to stay for a few days and I am dreading it in many ways but one will be to keep sites on. Most of the time it falls off and we have had to do a site everytime we swim. This trip we could be swimming all day, I am at a loss as what to do. Has anyone used different adhesive to keep it on, wrap it, put something over it?  Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks so much. I wrote down a couple of the products to try. I am thankful for this site, haven't used it alot but should more. Don't have many contacts of active diabetic children. I hope some of these ideas work, will make it more fun in the water.

Just wanted to thank you for the advice on the bandaids over  the sites. It worked. We went through
a few because once you took them off to eat a meal or any reason for insulin it couldn't be reused, but it was wonderful
to at least feel like we weren't going to be changing them every few hours. Now we have a better option for
swim lessons and next summer. Thanks again.
