I just started wearing my pump in my pocket and the tubing is constantly falling out and may even get caught on stuff. Do any of you do anything that keeps it from coming out of your pocket??
Thanks Lori -------------------- Thanks

Another option is to choose shorter tubing. Some people just stuff the extra tubing into the pocket but it does manage to work its way out. -------------------- --

Do any of you do anything that keeps it from coming out of your pocket?? Thanks Lori I keep my pump in my pocket and cut a small hole in upper inside of the pocket and feed the tubing through there to the set (the tubing ends up between pants and body) - never have an issue and i use the longest tubing. Works great! |

I always wear my pump in my left pocket. I clip my pump to my pocket and then use my right thumb to hook the tubing and stretch it across my belly to the right side snugly. I then pull my underwear elastic band up and over the tubing. It stays there nice and neat.

You can use one of these--it's called a tubeguard. But I'd start with just rolling it up around the pump. -------------------- Non-D Mom to:
