Has anyone used or seen Unomedical's Tubeguard?

I just tuck the extra tubing into my pants but thought this was an interesting idea that might be useful. I couldn't find much information other then what was listed on the link above.

Wow you even get some free stickers!

This is new to me. Although I could see the benefit of it, since it helps stop sites from being pulled out, I'd hate to have to clip yet another something on my pants. Be nice also if they listed the price for it.

Good idea, but I usually leave the pump clipped to my belt when I use the washroom. It would suck to have to unrool the tube and then roll it back up. Also, the thing they mention about the tubing getting damaged is kind of a non-issue since the tubing is a tube within a tube. I've never had a problem with the tubuing becoming kinked or anything. Again, good idea, but not for me

I've been using the tube guard for about a month on and off. Unomedical was giving them away at the Indianapolis AADE convention. I think it's more suited for men than women. Unreeling it can be a pain when you have to drop your pants, especially if you're in a hurry. It'd be better if it had an emergency release button (probably cheap to do) or some sort of automatic reel mechanism (more expensive), like some of those laptop to phone line cables. I have to admit, I haven't snagged any doorknobs while using it.
