[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1714756"] I understand your concerns and shared them. As you say, many women use their bras but I would be very lopsided if I did that. Waist belts hide the pump from immediate view but the bump is still visible. I am usually a trouser wearer and end up clipping my pump to my belt or wearing baggy trousers so I can put it in my pocket. When I wear a dress, I wear it in a garter holding the pump on my inner thigh (a try not to waddle as I walk). This works and does not affect the lie of my dress. However, it is not very easy to access with a long dress: I have started to wear slightly shorter dresses that I can slip up a little under the table when I eat. Being a slim woman, I have not found a way to conveniently hide the bulge of my pump. However, I would not give it back. My control is much better, I have less hypos, exercise is much much easier, .... I have had to put my shallow vanity on the back burner in favour of my health. That said, very few people comment on my pump: I think I am far more conscious of it than anyone else. [/QUOTE]
