Adhesive for catheter

Does anyone use any type of adhesive to fix the catheter to the skin?
Now in summer they take off more.
The bomb I use is the ACCU-Chek Spirit Combo

What gives us the best result is the physio, kinesilogica tape or something, you cut a piece rounds the tips and make a central hole to be connected where the catheter is connected.We use it for that and for free.
