I'm a new pumper, been on the quick sets. I can't compare, but not too many problems I can see. One thing is, I find showering does seem to loosen the set somewhat... If the adhesive gets saturated I get the impression the canula moves around in it's hole more, and certainly feels looser. This means some pain and I suspect a worse fit. I've been trying to find a solution to avoid this - to stop the set getting saturated. So far tried some adhesives and sticky pads. Nothing great (or inexpensive enough... those adhesive stick-overs were about $1 each), any ideas?

Or would trying another set be the way to go? Any have clearly better water resistant abilities?

I'm also interested by the impression I get that different set types may substantially impact absorption. Should I be considering trialling different sets for this reason? I'm a new pumper - 3 months, and really finding a lot of absorption variability (and/or IR. Has to be said I had bigger - huge - variability issues on injections previously for 16 years). Looking at all possibilities.
