I have just fired my inset into my back and so far so good. That only gives me an extra 2 sites though. I am trying to decide between a pump holiday and using my back and bottom solely for a while to give my other areas a rest.

Where exactly do people wear the set in the bottom area please? I'm petite so using an inset I think I can only get 2 sites at the top of the bum cheek. Maybe a third if you can use the area going round towards the leg thigh?
 
I used pretty much the whole of my size 8 bum cheeks. If I fiton it I couldn't use it.. Used literally every mm on them.
 
I think that would be much easier with rapid Ds though as they are so much smaller. I leave the old set in until I'm sure new one is working so have to hold the inserter a distance away to stop the old set interfering with it. It's good in a way because it makes sure I space sites out well.
