Pump
Hi, I am in the Medtronic 780g, I use the Hid-In pump band
I have an active job & go the gym regularly

My question is wear does everyone wear there pump, the Hid-In band is great but quite often it falls out (which is rather embarrassing at work)
I also can see the screen is getting a bit battered

Any advice please? Comfort is key for me
 
I am a gym person and run and buy cheap fitness belts off Shein with zipped pockets and tuck my pump in those, they never fall out, if I use a standard pump belt it very often does fall out - they are super comfy too.

Thanks - I will take a look, I used to use a Spi belt but found the clip very uncomfortable - any chance you could share a photo or attach a link please? I have never used Shein before
Many thanks
 
If I have suitable pockets (quick plug for UK company llama leisure here, whose leggings I have recently discovered) my pump goes in them, otherwise it goes in my bra.... But that is with the tandem tslim, which I believe is slightly smaller than the medtronic.
 
Must admit mines always attached to my bra but I’m also slightly larger chested so the size of the pump isn’t bothersome when it’s hooked to my bra.
 
I use something similar to this except without the clip at the back - they are only £4+shipping and come in many colours so buy a few at a time, but really useful.

You can get pump belts if your clever enough you can make one yourself like I did. When I was on a tubed pump I only wore clothing with pockets, whereby I made a hole in the inside of the pocket to feed the tube through and kept the pump in the pocket. I'm glad I'm on omnipod so no clothing alterations. I've done the cleavage thing, when wearing a tight dress only thing was, it was on vibrate so any alarms people could see my cleavage area moving
