Best PD belts & plus size question

[IOnlyGet5]

My PD nurse said she's not fond of any of the belts nut since they just added transfer set making the tube even longer I'm pretty sure I'm going to need one.
 Suggestions on the ones you guys prefer?

I'm a size 1x to 2x already (depending on pants manufacturer & style) & that's without any dialysate in abdomem...are there any PD belts out there for plus sizes like me? I've asked a relative about sewing me some but she lives a state away & is traveling so no response yet.

I appreciate any advice on PD belts or your solutions to keep PD catheter & transfer sets secure & safe.

I'm latex sensitive and found that several purchased belts caused a reaction.  I have been using the Immobile for nearlh 2 years and that has worked well.  It's something I order from Baxter as part of my regular supplies.

Here's a link to belts: http://www.homedialysis.org/life-at-home/helpful-products/peritoneal-dialysis-belts.  Here's a link to the company that makes the Immobile: http://www.tntmoborg.com/

Here's what Home Dialysis says:

When it comes to securing PD transfer sets, simple is still best. Immobilé is one of the most innovative ways to secure PD transfer sets on the market. It remains the preferred choice for thousands of patients in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. A patented combination of hypoallergenic adhesive together with a Velcro hook-and-loop tab makes Immobilé cost effective, body trim, and very easy to use.

Immobilé was developed from patient requests for a device that not only secured the transfer set but that secured it in such a way as to allow normal active body movement (such as biking or skiing) without concern for the integrity of the set or access. Patients also wanted to eliminate the sticky step of pulling tape off the transfer set three or four times a day when releasing it for an exchange. When care is taken one Immobilé can be used for three days (up to 12 exchanges).

Many people prefer Immobilé to a belt because it is much more body trim, easier to use and yet, very effective.

Immobilé is:

    Easier and more cost effective than tape alone
    More body trim and less bulky than the belt
    Hypoallergenic
    Sterile product

Wow, thanks!  I never heard of the Immobile before. As soon as they tell me what kind of machine they ordered for me I'll get one if it's a compatible brand.

I too have a round shape and the belt wouldn't stay around my waist. So I use Medipore 4inch tape that I get on Amazon to cover the exit site, then stick the cap in my bra. I usually wear a tight cami that holds everything in place and smooths things over so you don't notice the tube running up my side. Only once did the hose come to dangling down during a yoga class, but I don't think anyone noticed. The Medipore tape doesn't bother my sensitive skin and hold well. Hope that helps

Babycake-

Do you order your supplies from Baxter?  If so, did you know you can order Medipore tape through them at no expense to you?

I have had the best results with the Stickman PD belts. They come in different colors and sizes and are very comfortable. They go for 21 to 24 bucks a belt depending on how many you order. I order 5 each year as after about a year of daily wear and washing they start to look ragged. You can order them here:
