Hi Kim,
The problem with your sites is most likely due to the fact that you’re using alcohol swabs. I had reactions as well while using alcohol swabs. I now cleanse my skin with warm water and a mild soap such as Dove before inserting my sites. Also, when you shower make sure you only use a mild soap. The residue from harsher soaps such as Irish Spring can cause a similar reaction as alcohol swabs. Please try this! I am positive it will help.
All the best,
Caroline
