Hi everyone
I have been using a pump for almost a year now and still struggling with wearing it. I am quite small, so even a small pump (Ypsomed) feels quite bulky. I have tried getting straps/bands to wear on my body but they aren’t always comfy to wear for a long time.
@Eviegrace961, For sleeping I wear a insulin pump waist belt by Ziccga and find them to be very comfortable and would imagine they would also work to wear under your shirt during the day. I’m a male so I use my pockets 100% of the time during the day to store my pump. Found the Lulu Lemon pants have perfect pockets for pumps. Their pockets come with a mesh pocket inside the left and right side pockets where the pump fits in perfectly snug and doesn’t move around. Also hear that many women like to use the pump waist clip and clip it on their bra; unfortunately that is not an option for me…
I recommend placing the infusion site on your lower back and tucking the pump into the waistband of your pants. I have found that most leggings or yoga pants have a small pocket that is perfect for small pumps. I also really love using running bets designed for phones. They tend to be more comfortable and are washable.
@Eviegrace961 They are quite literally, a pain in the side aren’t they? I have a Tandem Mobi (it might not be available in your area yet) it is the tiniest pump I’ve ever used. I always have some form of pants on so I do use the belt clip. Good luck!
