Is it maybe something like this...

| | | lol guys, you are too funny!
i'm of course referring to a type of accessory that one can clip the pump to in the absense of an appropriate waist band.

Oh, that's not what you meant.  Silly me.
I don't have a "thigh thing" to hold my pump yet but I need to get something for days out playing paintball and roughousing with the boys. I'd be interested in hearing what others do.

| | And here I was thinking about thunder thighs and how to slim them down! Jeepers something else that does not apply to we poor deprived type 2s! I think I will just cry.

| | | I bought the one from the Minimed site, but I haven't used it yet. It looks like it'll work pretty well, though. I just wish I had a remote...but I'm not too interested in dishing out the money for it. I'll just have to figure out a way to get at it when I need to bolus (or see what my CGMS says) without being indecent...

| | I did see a couple of 'thigh things' when I met the Animas rep on my plumbing in day. The ones she had looked very low tech. They were effectively just a tubigrip bandage and you stuffed the pump into it. I'd been expecting a kind of a kinky holster in black. I was deeply disappointed.
I'm going to get one for the simple reason that I'll be able to stick my hand down my trousers and scratch my undercaridge in public; if anyone asks what I'm up to I'll claim to be bolusing

And then a little pump floats by
And now my pants are filled with tubes
That tangle all around my.... er .... knees
The hours I'm hooked up? All twenty four
And that's it for now until evermore
But I disconnect for up to an hour
For wonderful fun (and sometimes a shower) 
And when I 'suspend' it, it plays Barry White
And my wife knows she's in for one heck of a night
But only an hour of that night is with me
As an hour is all I'm allowed now, you see...

| | | Shabbie if you find a European/UK or will send from the US source can you tell me please. None of the Minimed products in the French brochure is a 'thigh' thing. I don't wear dresses very often but Summer is a commin in. |

| | Do they still have a remote for the MM? I heard of a woman who had nowhere to hide her pump in her wedding dress so she had it arranged inside her hairdo and bolused using the remote.
