A couple of days ago I decided to try my pod on my leg. Never tried this site before I've always used my tummy, arms or back, so I thought I'd give my leg a try. Ggggrrrr I kept snagging my jeans on it. Think I'll stick to my usual sites.

Hi @Lorraine1973 its definately trial and error, I'll tag @himtoo as he uses the omnipod, he may have some suggestions

Been on the pod for about 8 months. It was the first time trying my leg. Mainly because I wear jeans x

I was the same @Lorraine1973 , it is easy to snag when the pod is positioned on the leg.

Not only that, I've tried 3 times using my legs and each time the absorption rate wasn't good.

I find my tummy has a low absorbtion as i used this area alot when i was on my pen.

I've over-used the stomach before on injections, more so when I was first diagnosed.

A place where I never injected but have a really good absorption rate on a pump is my sides, have yet to try my bum and don't fancy it tbh, just can't see how it could be comfortable.

It doesn't actually go on your bum as it's impractical but above. About where your trouser line is.

A lass at my pump course put hers on her bum and she's petite. She had to take it off because she couldn't sit down lol x
