Under $10 US, I think. Don't quote me though. I got a couple.

| | Clipped to my waistband, usually in the back, but if my sensor is in the front, then I clip it to the front of the waistband. For sleeping, it's clipped to the front of my pajama bottoms, since I sleep on my sides and never roll onto my stomach.
I haven't had occasion to wear my pump while wearing a dress, though I'm assuming I'll just clip it to the sleeve of my dress ala Dewey.

| | Always conceal mine - in the bra....for ME, it's safe there...any time that I do or have worn it on the outside, I've knocked it against everthing possible, broken the clips, and had my tubing caught on several doorknobs!!!

| | Most of the ladies I met at the local pump club use the bra and clip as well... so they told me anyway

| | | Got's me a new job where the dresscode is just below suits, so i wear a shirt and suit pants. The pants are tight and it looks strnage to have the pump in the pocket so i have to clip it to the belt. and that makes it look like im wearing a beeper. So far havent found a way to hide it. it's bugging me some, since it kinda looks weird to have it clipped to belt.

| | | Pump on the belt on one side, iPod on the belt on the other. All I need now is a bullet belt across my chest....
At night, clipped onto the front of a pair of boxers. If my wife pulls on the tubing (interntionally or otherwise), I consider that 'foreplay'.

I give it plenty with my pump

| | | I use the clip and put it in my pocket (clip facing out).
If I don't have a pocket (rare) I clip it to my bra in the middle of my chest.
I always have it clipped on.

| | | Clipped onto belt, whatever side my CGMS transmitter is. At night, it is clipped on my elastic waistband of my shorts/pants, near the center coz I switch sides a lot.

| | | Sometimes clipped to pants/shorts or whatever, but it seems to fall off a lot, so most of the time it is in my bra. Looks kind of awkward when I have to take it out--friends know what I am doing, but not sure of other people--like at restaurants. Oh well. Like I said, have trouble getting it to stay clipped on. Sleep with it clipped on and it is sometimes off by the time I get up. |

It's a MM712. I've been though a couple clips. I always had to order them as they would never give a free one. I'm just too lazy to order one right now. Plus the pocket thing is kind of working out

| | Yeah... I was doing the pocket thing for the last few months when my clip was broken and I didn't realise I could get a replacement... OK for walking around but awkward at times when you might need an extra hand

| | | I wear camisoles or a tank tops most of the time under my clothes so I tend to clip my pump on to the staps. If not, bra.

| | | Clip during the day that came w/MM 522 unless going into work situations, for which I bought a fancier one w/faux leather cover.
For nighttime, MM sells a velcro-adjustable waistband that has a pouch, so it can twist around when I do w/o getting caught anywhere. |
