I've had a pump for over 4 years and have just moved offices. Previously if I needed to do a change because of a bad set or it getting ripped out there was a changing room with a nice bench within 100m thst I would discretely nip into and do the necessary.
We've just moved to a new office and there are no changing rooms nearer than a good 5 min walk away, no medical room or the like nearby and the meeting rooms don't lock and can be seen into. I use my bottom and lower back as my preferred site so need to undress a bit to get it done and need somewhere a bit private. While I'm not that fussy about hygiene (I inject through tights!) the toilets are not clean enough or have a clean surface for me to do the necessary.
What do you have at work? I want to propose reasonable adjustments so it can be a constructive conversation.
