There was lots of tape used to cover that wound and I developed an allergic skin reaction to almost all tape including the paper tape Gail mentions. So after a couple of weeks fooling with taping the PEG to my stomach, I got to where I just stuck the tube into the waistband of my pants and trusted that it wouldn't fall out and flop around when I did that and in general that has worked just fine (a couple of times it came out of the waistband when I was wearing pants that were two sizes too big because I'd lost so much weight but I solved that with some new clothes) .
