Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 2 | I use a feeding tube. I recently found an item that attaches to the body and holds the tube so that it doesn't swing as you move. It is called a CATH-SECURE (tube holder) and I don't know how I managed without it. Does anyone know how to "hide" the feeding tube?

Like Brian, I also used tape to tape the feeding tube in a horizontal position across my stomach.
You don't say if you're married, but I found the only time I really didn't want it viewable was during sex (hope there's no kids present, hee hee). My husband never mentioned it one way or another, but I always wore a scarf tied around my waist as a belt. I thought that looked better than the tube swinging around. Talk about a mood dampener!! | | |
