Heh. I just tried an infusion set, as part of preparing to get my daughter
on a pump. When the nurse handed me the infusion set, I just did that
automatically to reduce the overall length of the loop. The tape also kept
tugging me all day, due to personal hairiness caught in the tape. I assume
that won't happen if I get a pump myself and wind up *pulling out all the
hair* over time.
