I just started my Animas Ping pump today and I am trying to figure out where to put the thing If you have a pump, where do you wear yours?
I mostly wearmine on the waistband of my skirt/pants
I place it on my belt and when I exercise as well by using Black Velcro Pak - VC from pumpwearinc.com
When I pumped I wore mine clipped to my bra
Here’s my techniques.
Pump holder blog post
I find that it interupts less with my clothing if it is hanging from my belt loop rather than clipped to my belt. I have this MP3 holder in 4 colors and wear it like this almost everyday.
You will find your prefered way!
I put in a pocket when I have one. I’ll clip it to my waistband when I wear something without pockets. When I exercise, I put it my bra, usually covered by a baby sock so it doesn’t get too sweaty. I’ll also pin the baby socks to pyjamas and sweatpants.
That sounds sexy!!! LOL
I wear mine on my belt while wearing pants, if im wearing a skirt I attach it to a gasp really tight “pleather” garter (I bought fetish stockings and cut off the stocking part) which works amazingly well with the weight of the pump.
It depends on what I’m wearing. In the waistband of my pants/skirt, in my pocket, in my bra, clipped to my bra, in a leg holster thingy, tucked in the leg of spanks-like panties, in a baby sock pinned to my clothing, etc.
Congrats on starting the pump Isn’t it so exciting? I never thought I’d be excited about something medical lol
I’ve heard of people using things designed to hold other stuff (mp3 players, etc) but a fetish shop? Now that’s creative!
I wear mine here too, right between the girls, hahaha! Using a Ping pump I never have to touch the pump when I am bolusing for a meal. I only touch the pump to put it on the bra in the AM and to change for bed in the PM. The plus side of this is that no one knows I even have a pump unless I take the pump off and show them.
I usually put mine in the pocket of my jeans. If I have no pockets, I use my holder to clip it to the waistband of my pants or skirt.
I either clip it to my belt or I use an elastic nylon band called the “leg thing” from diabetes and more website. It keeps it on any part of your leg and you don’t know its there. It’s especially good when exercising but best with sweat pants.
between the boobs! best way to go haha
When you have a lot of lows and sweat :“between the girls” I actually had a pump corrode around the battery place and the pump mal-functioned…MM…now its kept on the belt. “Square boobs” don’t look so “hot” anyway…!!

I must be not be very well developed b/c there is no way i can wear my pump between teh girls with out having it stick out as an obvious square. Even when I exercise and put it in my sports bra (after covering it w/a baby sock to keep it from getting sweaty), I have a bit lump there, I just don’t care and my workout shirts are loose enough to not really notice.
I sometimes put my pump in trouser socks when I wear my dress pants that don’t ahve pockets.
why hide it? I leave mine out in the open, not ashamed of my diabetes, I put it on my belt, my shoulder, my back, wherever it fits with my outfit
Ditto, and only on my left side. I tried it once on the right side and it felt all wrong.
You’re not alone Jackie. I have a square third “breast” when I work out as well.
