Securing the GJ tube

We have tried MANY ways to secure Jillian's GJ tube. It is a 16fr tube. Her last tube was an 8fr. So this is double the size tube! It is not super flexible either. It needs to stick out straight for a couple inches otherwise it pulls the hole to the side. Here are some of our pictures:
Venting to a diaper... just a cut gauze around it

Just a g tube pad and PEG tube

g tube pad and belt... the tube does not sit right in the belt for now... can't wait for a button so we can use these!

Securing the GJ tube~ G pad and modified tension loop

Securing the GJ tube~ tube pad and rolled gauze wrapped around the base to make it stand out and then looped around the tube going back down to hold in

my cute g tube pad and a hand holding it :)

Securing the GJ tube~ Rolled gauze like before just the gauze covering the entire loop

Securing the GJ PEG tube~ rolled ace wrap and wrap going around... best solution so far!
picking out her g tube pad each day... how we let her take ownership of everything we put her through
Maybe at somepoint I will write all of the details of how we do each of these tapeings. Hope just these pics help.

All of her g tube pads are from Kangaroo-tique! We love their products!!!
