Hi!
I have been recommended a spibelt as a good belt for my daughter to use to carry around her new CGM. Does anyone know if its possible to get hold of one in the UK? I can only seem to find American shopping carts for this. We use a great underbelt for her pump but we rarely need access to her pump because we have a remote control. Although we've not yet got started on the CGM I can see that we will need access to this so was thinking about a bum bag but have been recommended on an American forum that the spibelt doesn't bounce around as much as a bum bag - or as they call it in America a '***** bag' (sorry that makes me giggle everytime I hear it :D !!!). Apparently athletes use a Spibelt.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There's a supplier on amazon.
It's also worth looking elsewhere, I bought myself a new belt for running in sports direct a couple of days ago, it's a Karrimor belt and only cost me £5.99, not as pretty as the spibelt though as it only comes in black.
 
Thanks. Will have a look around at other makes like you say.
Realised I should've said that my daughter is only 5 so we definitely need a kids one if available.

I got mine direct from the US.

I've not actually been using it for putting the pump in though, the clip on the Animas is plenty secure enough for me on the side of my shorts. I do use the spibelt for putting supplies of gels in when running any significant distance though and it is pretty secure and doesn't move around at all. I did get a bit tangled with my tubing one time when taking it back off though.

I think I probably would use the spibelt for the pump when doing proper long runs as I've a feeling that the clip next the skin on the shorts would hurt after a couple of hours, but it survived a half without causing any friction I could sense that much longer and it would start to.
