i often grease all up with lotion or baby oil before i 'suit up'.  i stopped using tape because of sticking problems.  now i use a piece of rubber legbag strap - repunch a hole to make it quite snug - nothing has to stick to anything now- put it on when relaxed and band won't slip off the end - works very well.  dave     In a message dated 1/27/2005 10:36:56 A.M.
