I got a new roll of adhesive in the mail today for my infusion sets and sensors. I had it out on the counter and forgot about it for a while. Later that day I came back in the kitchen and saw this, my "medical" tape, next to the fruit bowls, like it belonged there, it's just such a part of my every day life. Seeing that reminded me of when I was a kid.
I would sit in the bathroom at home going through our "first-aid" or "band-aid" drawer and see the rolls of medical tape. I used to take pieces off to stick them on me and pull them off again, just to see why it was considered "medical" tape. I used to wonder why this stuff even existed, I mean why in the world would you have to TAPE something to your body!?!?! It just seemed ridiculously silly
.....and 15 years later here we are

oooh! That tape is some good stuff! It is much less breathable than the IV3000, which for me is a good thing.
I just got your care package off in the mail today, but if you find that you no longer use what I sent, I trust that you'll spread the love and get if off to some folks who can use it.
thanks so much Scott! No I still use the IV3000, I got this to try and it's too sticky for me, I'll probably just use it to keep sensors on for over a week. I much prefer the breathable IV3000 for infusion sets on a daily basis. I get huge rashes when removing this stuff from my sensors, but it's worth it to keep the pricey things secure and accurate. Thanks again for sharing. I'll be sure to pay it forward :)
