[QUOTE="iHs, post: 791808, member: 8799"] The thing with keeping the pump next to you, is that if you get out of bed and forget the pump, the pump will follow you and fall to the floor and hopefully if the tube is long enough, it will just thump on the carpet, but if the tube is not long and the set is on yr tummy, what may happen is that the set might come out with the force of the pump landing on the floor. So......make sure that you grab the pump before you get up. Ive always played safe and had the pump in a baby sock so that it wouldnt come out and made a hole in the toe part and thread some thin elastic through the hole to form a necklace loop with a knot and just hung the pump around my neck so that if I got up, the pump was with me. This works ok with the short and 60cm tubes. If you dont fancy that, get the 100cm ones and just remember to pick the pump up. You should be fine with the Flexlink sets as they are very easy to insert so dont worry about that bit. [/QUOTE]
