| | | How do you wear your pump?
I'm curious as to how and where you all wear your pumps, including hanging over your ear, if thats how you do it, lol. Should I get a case for it? Or not? What are your opinions. I did buy a waist thing that goes under your clothes, like for sleeping, or the gym, or whatever. Am wondering if I need to get a case. It came with a holster and a smaller clip that can be worn on your waistband on pants. What do you all think? How do you do yours?

| | | I wear mine (a Paradigm 512) with the holster almost exclusively- easy access and I don't mind the extra bulk since the holster does provide a little extra protection. I will use the low-profile clip if I'm wearing it with dressier clothes or under clothing (for example, clipped inside the waistband of dress pants with the clip facing out). I haven't bothered with a case for it, but I do put a piece of screen protector film over the screen because it always gets scratched. The film is designed for PDAs and cell phones and can be found at almost any office of electronics store.

| | | Also, for even less visibility (in tight fitting jeans, for example): clip on the outside, at the back - sort of like microphone transmitters singers have at concerts, only on the inside of the waistband. |

| | I used to wear it on my waist band, but, lately, I haven't been wearing it that way...I don't know, just looks a little tacky IMO (no offense intended) Now, I prefer to put it in my pocket, or tuck it in my sock (I know that's weird, but it seems to work  . )

| | | I wear my pump in a shirt pocket almost always. I cut a tiny slit on the backside of the pocket for the tubing. I sleep in t-shirts with pockets also.

| | | Waistband with the smaller clip. Just realized I haven't worn a dress since I started pumping. Hmmmm. Have some dressy pants outfits though.

They have the holster, and the pleather case thingy that sucks. |
