I’ve always pinned a baby sock inside and put the pump in the sock and it stays.
not true pod came off me once when i was rolling around at night
if u wear it on stomach needle pushish into stomach
if u wear it on backside its the same i lay on side
I dont ever have a problem sleeping with my pod or with the pod moving or coming off, I sleep on my stomach side and back and have never had a problem in any spot i put it.
I have never had a problem sleeping with my pod. i sleep on my stomach with it on my stomach i dont evn notice it.
Yes the MM does determine my clothes that I wear at times, ya got me there.
Do you have good absorption with the Pod?
How long can you keep a Pod on before changing?
How many units does it hold?
Great ideas and discussions everyone, I’ll have to give them a shot (no pun intended)! Let me know if you figure out any additional ideas!
I have been pumping for the last 5 years, I use the longest tubing 42 inches, and position the pump to the left or the right side depending on the location of my infusion set, and place it under my pillow or I just leave to one side or the other and it seems to have been working out fine for me. Note I toss and turn quite a bit, but I have never really had any real problems sleeping. I think I may have pulled my inset out a few times during the course of the years, but since I don’t sleep with a lot of clothes (true confessions) it works out for me. If you don’t have a longer lead (leach as my diabetic instructor calls it!) It presents problems. Hope it helps?
I just shove mine under the pillow I’ve got my head on.
My sites are either in my stomach/sides or in my arms and since I use the super long tubing I have no problem rolling around.
i bought a belt for it. I wear the belt at night and the belt has built on pack for the pump - whatever kind PJ I wear i wear the belt under and put my pump inside the pack- It cann’t go anywhere!!! Here is the link - u may wanna check it out …

Take care!
i bought a stretch velcro belt that has a pouch attached to it, cost me $20 from www.insulinpumppacksforyou.com she makes them when you place your order. She has many different colors and patterns to choose from. So I wear the pump in the puch and the pump sits on my back while i sleep and you can move the pouch to where you need it. hope this helps.
It’s a pump cozy! I wish some nice person would crochet me a really cute one.
I made pouches for my son’s pump that he wears 24/7 he seems to be able to sleep ok with it.
The pouch holds the pump and it has a soft belt with a velcro strips on it. All the tubing is in the pouch with just a small amount coming out to the site.
Hope this is helpful.

I clip mine to the top of my shirt, tubing inside the shirt, pump facing outside. (Lower cut neck–not t-shirt)
This is one area where I’m glad to be female. I hate things on my waist, and my chest seems to keep the pump in line. Haha. XD
I made myself a belt out of wide elastic, using plastic toggle switches (like on luggage straps?) for closure, with a soft camera or cell phone case for the pump. It’s very comfortable, I don’t notice it, and it keeps everything in place.
Same issue. I am used to sleep with nothing on but it gets wrapped around me and wakes me up every nights. Also started to sleep in PJ’s with pockets but keeps falling out. I still believe that I will get used to it one day and not wake up anymore…
