| Sticking with the sils if they are best for you, all I can think is to try some different ways to keep them even more firmly in place. I heartily recommend the Tegarderm "HP" patches, they are a good step above the normal tegaderm (which are already pretty good). With these babies making sure that cannula doesn't chaff in the hole, it makes all the difference for the soreness, redness, absorption etc, for me.
As for is pumping for you... well, I suppose only you can judge if the attendant problems outweigh the benefit. I'd be hopeful that with some more specific experimenting with attaching the sils, and a few weeks of better sites (if you find anything to help), you may be feeling more positive about it. Good luck.
