Hi pump twin..lol. I'm nobody to be giving advice, but I've played with locations all week when I was on saline and checked out the other pumping women at my type 1 women potluck the other night. Me, I just kind of stick the tubing into the pocket or uner my jeans. I noticed some women actually loop it and tape it down. Do you have the 23 inch or the 43? I got both and the 43 is definitely too much tubing (though it makes it easier to put it down when changing clothes).
i got the 23 inch one as i am short! i kind of feel like a robot!
Hey, we're bionic women!! Did you get your free skin yet? I got a purple one. I also ordered a tummy belt/pocket which is pink with peace symbols from Tallgear. Anything that makes it all look pretty and less "surgical". My trainer showed me the "waist-it" and it is so sterile looking!
LOL bionic woman! what site did u go on for the holders?
i need to get the skin soon...

Tallygear.com. I really liked their selection. Spibelt.com is another one people recommend.

I ordered the free skin along with the EZManager software that I look forward to using to customize food selections.
