insulin pumps and bras
 
Is it really possible to wear your acu chek combo or similar in your bra???

Marieafg;

I don't know anything about this, but I am going to give it a whirl. It appears to me that if the pump is small enough, it is not too obvious and you don't find that it is uncomfortable, then you could probably wear it in a normal bra. I know a lady that carries her cell phone there. That being said, they do make special bras for the pump and you may want to check out this link. I hope the information helps and I will go back to my side. :)

Yes their is a patch you can get and you stick it to your bra and to your pump and it is a Velcro patch so yes it is true and I like it :]

Hmmmmm?
 
Well, I'm young and don't put my pump in my bra yet so I wouldn't know if it feel weird or anything:confused:....but I know my mom puts hers in her bra when she goes to work. It doesn't seem to bother her at all.:)

Started carrying my pump in my bra when both of the clips I had broke (and I could not get Medtronic to send me a replacement). That was about 2 years ago and I haven't gone back to clipping it at my waist. Really is very convenient. I am able to just pop it in the gap between the twins, behind the bra and it stays in fine, no extra straps, patches, special bras required. Only nusiance is going through airport security where the combination of the pump and the underwire in the bra tend to set off the metal detector.

I have been wearing my pump in my bra with no problems. I got a sports bar that is comfortable to wear at night. Much easier than the clips

I wear my pump in my bra everyday and it doesn't bother me at all. Also, no one can tell I am wearing my pump.

Yes... No problem with that! Clip the pump to the middle of your bra between your boobs. The pump facing your chest (lest noticeable bump)!

I clip it onto the middle of my bra betweeen my boobs too! Works great dont even realize its there half the time. I am an a cup thoigh so i dont have much help in the area of concealmeant when wearing it clipped to my bra, but i wear a stretchy tank top that has the sports bra band in it i wear that and it covers the pump no bump showing at all! You can get the tanks in amy size at mandee stores for like 5 bux they are thin enough to wear under any shirt total life saver!!!!!

Absolutely
 
Have been pumping for about five years and I do wear the pump in my bra. I put it in the top part past the cup area under the strap and have no problems.
Now my secret for time at home and at night is that I buy men's pocket t-shirts and cut a small hole in the pocket in the underside of the shirt and feed the tube through the hole. It works great and is very comfortable.
I also usually buy them in white so I can bleach them so they stay nice looking.
