I know. I really want to be able to use a strong tape for when when I'll be sweating a ton or for longer attachments. But, this method works great for daily wear and on the plus side i get to clean my scalp every day. I'm lucky in that i don't get any smell, even with a week and a half attachment, but i have oily skin so my scalp just gets nasty and feels nasty. Although you'd never be able to tell. It's really nice to be able to get a fresh clean feeling scalp every day. I just wipe my scalp with a cotton ball and alcohol and away i go, nice and clean feeling fresh.
