Just curious for people that use pumps, how people feel about going swimming with showing their cannula on their stomach? Do you feel embarrassed that you have this thing on your stomach?

No. I wear mine with pride. As my vibe is waterproof I prob wouldn't leave it behind either.

I hide it in my swimming costume but i haven't had the chance to show it off whilst wearing my bikini :p if girls with colostomy bags show off in their bikinis then why can't we pump users? :)
