Even when I’ve been active and sweaty in hot, humid weather, or spending a lot of time in water, the pod sticks. I do use it for my sensors, but I can get four weeks out of those easily, so I want them to stick long and hard. I guess I could use Skin Tac with a pod and then wear a dead pod for four weeks just to prove some kind of point … I will also say, _do not be nervous_ about trying new places. It took me a while to move beyond my default abdomen/belly. I wasn’t convinced pods would be comfortable in areas without a lot of ~~flab~~ subcutaneous tissue, but surprisingly they were. Arms, round the back, upper butt – all have left me wondering why I didn’t try earlier. The [only exception was the ribcage](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/failing-omnipod-slow-leak/2794/41), one of @Eric’s ideas that I suspect only works in Eric Land. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/omnipod-placement-where-is-best/5327)._
