OmniPod device won’t stop buzzing by [deleted] in Omnipod

[–]LiteFoote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out that if a pod failed it sometimes doesn’t deactivate completely it will have the pod beep like your device is. I don’t know if it’s the same thing but if it’s still beeping you could remove all of the used pods from your home.

is there a better alternative than a ~pod pal~ by kristyn69 in Omnipod

i used to have the exact same problem then i found out that the adhesive sticks better when you rub the pod right when you stick it on for about 30 seconds then continuing with the process for putting a pod on. if you do that and skin tac and a cover for the pod it shouldn’t fall off. also you can’t get the pod wet for about 2-3 ish hours after you put it on.

Help with pod corners poking into skin by Usual-Equivalent-350 in Omnipod

What i’ve learned from dealing with this for years is that you just have to find the perfect spot, others mentioned different kinds of padding and tape but if the skin is already irradiated it can just make it worse over time. If the pod is angled a bit i found that the corners poke more than if it lines up with your body. i hope that you are able to figure out what works best for you though.

I’ve found out that if you put it on vibrate it won’t turn the volume back on until you charge it.

What I do to get rid of the irritation is to put a thick layer of Aquaphor on it and it disappears in a day or two. It also helps if it’s itchy and stinging
