how do you keep pad firmly attached to the back let's say. I've tried surgical tape and it just comes loose.

I think it is meant to be lain on or laid over an area. There are other pads with available with velcro attachments. I found the quilted pad to be useless as the magnets were hot glued to the fabric and became unattached. The magnets should have been quilted into small pockets.

Dear Sonia, I guess no one has told you, but the pad is only meant to lay on. I have one and I put it under my body when I'm in bed, whatever part I want to stop hurting and it works very well for me. there are other types meant to stay on parts of the body like the elbow, ankle, knee or the neck. You can put the pad in your bed or chair with the foam side down, try that. BUUUUT,if you jes wanna git creative you can sew it into a T shirt and wear all the time jes make sure the mags face you. Or now that I'm thinkin' abt it, for my shoulder sometimes I'd jes get some decently strong mags and put them on a strip of the clear medical tape n tape it to cover the area of concern but only for like two days per time, that works too.

I hadn't thought about attaching it to me; I place it on my bed, under the bottom sheet. But if you really want to "wear it," you could sew elastic straps to the pad. Seems to me that would be uncomfortable, but give it a try. I think lying or leaning back on it (in bed or sitting up on a couch, chair, etc.) would be the better way to go.

Since I don't use it on my back, I can't really answer your question very well. I personally use it under my pillowcases as part of treatment of chronic migraines.

never thought of taping it to me. I just sleep on it or put on the back of the chair I am sitting in with my back against it Sorry I can't be more of help.

You could remove the rubber butt pad completely and buy a slip-on LimpSaver butt pad. That would allow you to slip on and off when you needed to get the stored contents.

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?

Yes, the belt falls off all the time. Very frustrating. I'm going to try replacing the belt. Any solutions you have found?Steve

I had the same issue with mine. I just dint installed it. Most changing pads comes with safety straps. I changed the one it came with and bought one that is more comfortable for the baby.

I have super glued the black ones to my frame.. I trimmed the wrap around section off. Barely apply maybe 1/2 drop on each pad but not to the frame and apply exactly where you want pad. Don't slide pad around, hold for few minutes... stays well

You'll lose the adhesive but similar pads are availible at home improvement stores. I swapped them for velcro but they have issues attaching to the stock velcro.

Actually putting a pea sized circle of water on the pad (with unit turned OFF) and rubbing it in is exactly how you can reactivate the stickiness to prolong the use of the pads rather than buying new ones right away. I have used one for over 11 years and have always done this - in fact it is what my instructions say to do.

It does take practice to learn how to insert it properly to keep from leaking. For the first few months I always wore a pad until I figured it out with my body. I still always wear a panty liner with it even at night. I have found that it works well at night instead of wearing those massively long and uncomfortable pads. In my experience being in one position for a period of time doesn't affect leaking as long as you have inserted it correctly and gotten a tight seal. I hope this helps.

On the inside it has a velcro leather strap and when it's in place it wont come out unless you take it out. It is %100 snug. I found a picture of a case that is like this one and it shows the strap on the inside holding the pad in place. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81P4J9hi68L._SL1500_.jpg It shows it with out the pad in it so you can see what I'm talking about.

Hello, I purchased this item and have the same slipping problem. I have to purchase Velcro also. I've decided that a strip of Velcro across the end of the flap that goes under the mattress, then another strip that will go across the back of the organizer at the seam where the box part will hang down the side of the bed.I'm going to place the Velcro on the flat of the box spring so it will have a stronger hold. I think it will be helpful to have a second pair of hands for this job. I pinned the organizer in this manner, and I think it's the best option, I hope this helps you Tana

You need to pop off the pads that go against the sife of your head. If memory serves there is a slot to use a small flathead screwdriver to pop them off. It took me a couple times to hget the hang of it.

I take the lumbar pad off and wash it separate I and on delicate wash and when I dry it I use air dry only so this way it won't shrink

Mine is securely stuck to my dashboard. If it was removed, possibly double stick tape might reattach. The pad is cheap enough that a new replacement may be best.

Unfortunately on the back. The device would need to be unscrewed.....or pulled away from the adhesive backing, which would need to be replaced each time. If you can secure it without the tape, a much better option.

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

Peak design also sells a separate part they recently came up with to address this problem. It is called the "pro pad stabilizer". I have one now and appreciate it very much.
