Kiss That Irritating Tape Goodbye!

Over the past 5 years, hundreds of people have chosen the Tuck-Away Belt because of its great design and comfortable fit. We’ve supplied thousands of these belts to patients throughout the U.S. and Canada as wonderful alternative to using tape to keep their catheter safe and secure. See how much easier and cleaner a tape-free belly can be!

The elastic is woven especially for us with a softer, brushed finish on the side which goes against your skin and we’ve made the hook side (that’s the prickly one) of the Velcro© a little bit narrower than the elastic so it doesn’t even come close to scratching your skin. They are available in black or white, and we offer 4 sizes to fit almost anyone.







Daytime Use

Wearing the belt is simple: you put it on, tuck the catheter in, and forget about it. The belt is worn with the openings against your body, and the tension of the belt against your body is what keeps the catheter in. The belt can easily be adjusted during the day for comfort and to ensure that there is no pulling on the exit site.


The Tuck-Away Belt may be worn with the D-ring on either side of your body, regardless of which side your exit site is located. For your own health and safety, continue the same exit site care, hygiene, maintenance and protection recommended by your health care professional.


Cycler Use

To use the belt during the night while on a cycler, you simply pass the cycler tubing right through the belt's pocket, do your connection, then pull the connection back into the pocket, and go to sleep. Again, you continue using the same exit site care and protection you were trained to.







Regular

The regular style's pouch is made of a nice woven fabric with a one way stretch, giving it a nice, comfortable fit that stays in place. The brushed finish of the fabric makes it so soft and non-irritating, you'll forget you're even wearing it!

Mesh

The pouch of the mesh style Tuck-Away Belt is a 100% polyester fabric which is similar to the fabric used in football jerseys. It is very lightweight, cool, and it dries quickly. Originally designed for showering and swimming*, the mesh belt has also become a favorite for summertime use because of it's coolness.





*Warning: Be sure to get your doctor or nurse’s approval and instruction before doing any water activities while on peritoneal dialysis. There is always a risk of infection, especially when swimming and bathing in inappropriate waters. Speak with your nurse or doctor about your risks and how to avoid infections.





Belt Fitting

To determine the correct size, measure your waist size, in inches, or simply go by the size of the pants you wear. Be sure to take the measurement while you are full of fluid if you keep yourself full all the time. If you are kept empty during the day, measure yourself as such and order the appropriate size for daytime use. If you find you are doubtful about the size to select because you may be just in between two sizes, choose the smaller one. Upon receiving your belts, try one on for size, if it does not fit, call us to arrange for an exchange.

Washing

The Tuck-Away Belts are machine washable can be put in the dryer as well. Just wash them with your underwear. They can be steam ironed if you like. It is recommended that the belts be washed daily and that the Velcro be fastened together during laundering to keep it from collecting lint and sticking to other garments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need more than one belt?
The Tuck-Away Belt is just like underwear - except that the belt is worn right next to or even over your exit site, so it is extremely important to keep it clean... in fact, even more important than clean underwear! So use a fresh, clean belt every day. Germs near your exit site can lead to infections - and that's bad news!

How do I wash the belts?
Both styles of belts are machine washable and can be machine dried or hung to dry.

How long does a belt last?
You can expect to get about one month per belt if you wash them every day. So if you buy 3, you'll be ok for over 3 months.

What if it doesn't fit?
For hygienic reasons, we can't accept returned, opened belts, so we ask that you measure carefully when ordering. When you do receive your order, just open one belt and wear it until you are sure it is right for you. Any unopened belts can be returned anytime for a refund or exchange.
