Amy over at Diabetes Mine asked about hiding a pump. No one notices mine. In fact, people who know I wear one, often ask me if I have it on.
First it takes a small pump, this won’t work with the Minimed or the Cozmo. The Animas footprint is perfect for this.
Second, it takes a somewhat talented seamstress. I’m not, but I do business with a custom bra shop. Most large towns have them. Look for someone who specializes in breast cancer patients. That’s how I found mine.
Now the pocket that is in my bra is designed for the IR1000. Next time, I’ll get it made smaller for the IR1250.
So here’s the first picture, that’s the inside of my bra. As you can see, it’s on the top part of the cup, towards the strap. It’s made of the same material as the inside of my bra, which cuts down on the sweat. Trust me, if you put a bare Animas pump in your bra, it will get slick with sweat.
This one shows the pump in the pocket.
Hopefully you can see how low the profile is.
