Not sure if this has happened to anyone else?
I have taken to sleeping au natural again; when I first started pumping, I clipped the pump onto boxers which worked a treat. I prefer to sleep with nowt on, so I thought I'd try it and just let the pump float around in the bed. It's been working well.
I woke up today in a fair bit of pain. We have a memory foam bed and the pump had got between me and the matress. Consequently, I had a perfect imprint of an Animas 2020 on my right cheek. And I'm not talking about the one on my face 
No idea how I slept through it. I had buttons and everything....
Anyone else care to share?

It whispers and it flirts with me

Rolls over, farts and falls asleep
And I would wake up, feeling used
My body broken, bent, abused
But now I match it, hump for hump
I give it plenty with my pump

| | | *ROFLMFAO* Gary, you're a GEM!
Alright, man. Here we go, get yourself a necklace, similiar to GI Dog tags, they make for a good length to have your pump clipped to when sleeping COMMANDO! Gives you some control over where the crafty devil wanders off to without wearign some kind of belt device and aoiding "Corporate Branding" on your bum.

| | Well Gary, I think it would be fair to say that I don't wanna borrow your pump or anything.   |

| | I'm glad that your errant buns didn't adjust your insulin delivery. I don't know about you, but my derriere can really be an a** at times.

| | | While I can't say that I have ever ended up with a full face imprint, I have deffinitely woken up many a morning with little pump lines running all over my nether regions. I will admit that my DH and I get a laugh out of making designes out of them occasionally...unlike when he rolls over on the pump and then I roll away from him. SNAG, ouch! Then I have to try to get it out from under him without waking him up. The things we do for D.
