I've never actually had a problem keeping mine in my purse, but you can get thigh pump holders that you can slip it into as well

Hi there Wiffy,

I started w/my Dexcom in January. Someone in the class showed me their waist carrier and I LOVE IT. http://www.spibelt.com/ is the website. It is great. I forget I have it on. Very comfy all day and in bed. Hope that helps. Best of luck. Mine is pink plaid BTW.

SPIBELT means small personal item belt BTW.

Hmmm... I don't wear dresses alot. Might not work w/a dress. You can put it in your bra maybe? Sorry.

This is what my son wears, but obviously he doesn't need a dress option either. It is awesome for sports though!

I wear mine in my bra relatively often (like right now!) it's amazing how valuable pockets become! I put it as far to the side...near the armpit...as I can with the screen side out. It's not ideal, but it works.

Which reminds me of last month when I had my cellphone in my swimsuit and didn't notice until I had been in the pool for 30 minutes!! I put it in a gbag of rice and it came back fine the next day. Unbelievable! Good to know if you swim w/Dexie or drop her in the commode. LOL.

Wow....good save on your phone! I am always afraid the Dex is going to fall out of my pocket and get flushed, lol.

I wear my receiver in a belt clip like a cellphone.
As far as the transmitter, I wear mine VERTICALLY on my belly way off to the side.

If I don't have any pockets, I usually do one of two things: stick it in my bra or wear a small purse that I hang from my shoulder or around my neck and shoulder. This is also where I put my pump. People really don't pay any attention to the clear plastic tube coming out of my neckline area. I have several small cloth bags made by folks from Laos/Cambodia. My latest, a black Harley purse, is a perfect fit for Dexie, pump and some glucose tabs.

You put it in your bra? I wear my pump in between my breasts vertically via the clip. Where do you put the receiver? I saw Roxie004 put it on the side, but wow, isn't that a quite a large bump that gets in the way?
Think i will try spibelt, and maybe attach a wristband and wear it in forearm? kind of out there, but then I will feel/hear alarms. when I did have it in purse, i always missed the alarms which was not a good thing. Or the thigh holders, will the pump holders be large enough for the dexcom, this thing is larger than my pump...
