problems with pump

in the past 10 days my daughter has had about 8 infusion sets, that have bent when being inserted, as there is no way of telling untill her blood sugar goes really high,it's become quite a problem. I've been sent a new batch and a new inserter , but there is still a problem. we always use the same site (on her bottom) as she very concious of it any where else, although it is rotated into different parts. has any body else had a similar problem, and overcome it?  as she really does not want to go back to injections.
