[QUOTE="AlexandraMarnie89, post: 549569, member: 83596"] I thought this would be a problem at first (I've only been on my pump for just over a week). I had a massive ditzy moment of desperately trying things pouches etc etc to hide mine (I'm on the accu-check spirit combo so it's quite big) and found that I couldn't walk without it being uncomfortable. After a couple of hours, yes hours, I came to the (undeniably easy to see to everyone around me) realisation that, actually, I could take the pump out of the rather bulky clip that the rep had given me it in! I wear tight fitting dresses pretty much all the time and I've found that I can put it at an angle inside my bra cup (of the side where I'm a lite smaller) then I pop a breast pad (either the maternity type ones, or the ones that come inside the pockets of some bras that you can remove) in each side of my bra to even it up a bit and cover up the squareness that's sometimes created by the corners of the pump. No one ever notices I'm wearing it and best of all neither do I. My bigger issue is finding where to put it when I'm out jogging as it's really uncomfortable in a sports bra so I have to have it on show then :( [/QUOTE]
