I just got my tube this week and decided tape was going to drive me crazy. It was the ONLY option suggested by the home nurse. Argh.

I cut a band off one of my husband's old undershirts I was saving for rags, and am using a ponytail holder to take up the slack. Cheap and comfortable for this early post-op time.

I can't wait to see some of those other options.
