Trialling a pump....

My 11 year old daughter is trialling a pump for a week to see if it suits, where is the best place to find a belt that will hold the pump?
Many thanks! :-)
 
It's fine just clipped onto the waistband of a skirt or jeans, doesn't need a special belt.
 
Hi @Nutty72

Accu chek supply skins for the Combo pump in different colours which have small cut out holes in the back to attach a waistband clip through a plastic plate which is put inside the skin. The clip mechanism is ok and will also swivel in different directions.
Other than that ....eBay or Amazon sell SpiBelts or similar. £land also sell small pouches for cameras etc that will be ok for the Combo as long as the pump is vertical with tube at the bottom of pouch or tilted slightly diagonal so that if an air bubble appears in the cartridge, it wont go into the tube.
 
There isn't a clip on the combo pump we've been given :-(
As it's only for a week then can it sit in a pocket? Or stick it in a small sock and pin to inside of waistband?
 
I got one from Ebay from a girl called pimp your pump, cost £15 and she makes them to suit most needs but she has alot of kids designs on there
