Default Dresses with the pump

Hey ladies! I love wearing dresses, but just haven't figured out the best way to wear my pump with dresses. Is there anything that works for you guys? I would really love to comfortably wear my pump with dresses.

If the dress isn't too low cut, I've found that in my bra, between the "girls" is most comfortable.

There are also thigh pouches you can order online. However, I am not a huge fan of them.

I've also just clipped my pump to my underwear too!

Thank you. I've tried the thigh pouch but also found it uncomfortable.

I am pretty lean for my age and I have Omnipod and when I wear a dress I always have it on my back kind of close to my butt, works great!

Without the clip I've tucked my pump right in the cup of my bra under my breast held in place by underwire, totally works with most fabrics except the super clingy

Hi! So I either tuck it into my bra right under my armpit or wear tight boy shorts (victorias secret) and just tuck it in without my clip!

I do not have a small chest, but found it strange to see the square outline of my insulin pump between the girls or in other bra places. I usually clip my pump on the back of my dress, which is highly noticeable, but only from the back. I use the thigh pouch only when I don't wear a form fitting dress. The thigh seems to be the only place where I can completely conceal it. You could DIY a comfy garter - stretchy/thin/wide lace/other material band, hot glue gun, low profile Velcro.

I specifically look for cute dresses with pockets. I snip a hole on the inside of the pocket just enough to thread the insulin pump tubing through it and hook it up.

I'm 17 years old and I love to wear dress and outfits that don't work good with my pump. When I wear a dress I rather put my pump in my bra under my armpit. Or I will wear spandex and slip it in them.

I just clip mine to my undies or to the bottom of my bra so it sits against my sternum cause I can't be bothered fussing around, but my sister in law, who is also type 1 bought a peticote and then sewed a little pocket to the inside of it to keep her pump in. Admittedly neither of us wear dresses all that often though.
