My son has been pumping for 4 years, and I am trying to come up with new an innovative ways for him to wear his pump.
We have used the clips, and numerous cel phone cases have worked, but what remains is that we have not come up with the perfect solution yet.

I have looked everywhere but cannot find one that is good, so when I got my sewing machine, I started making packs.

I made an arm band that he can wear on his forearm or upper arm when he does arm sites.

and then I did one that he can wear for fun

So I am looking for feedback on these. I would like to improve on them or see if people would be interested in these at all, or if people have a more specific requirement... like something that can be worn on the thigh, or attach to the bra, or something.

Thanks everyone.


Thank you for your time and you can PM me or just reply.

Oh you poor people with tubes.

(TEASING!)

When I was on a tubed pump I remember a website that had all kinds of various pump holders/belts/etc but cant remember at the moment. Im sure someone will chime in...Google might help too.

One place is Pumps (http://www.pumpwearinc.com). Expensive, though. But you could look at them for ideas and do your own since you are inventive and can sew!

if it couldn't fit discreetly in my pocket or wasn't wireless i would be harder pressed to consider a pump...

I prefer keeping it somewhere where it is not visible to the human eye, and that place usually is in my pocket or on a clip. I am especially concerned about it showing when I am wearing a suit, so my tailor, who happens to be a T1, came up with a solution for me. I either have my infusion site on my leg or belly, so my tailor stitched a small hole in all of my trousers. This way I can have the pump in my pocket and all of the tubing not visible to the eye while the pump sits comfortably in my pocket.
