i am going to be trying to get an omnipod soon and i was wondering if any couples take off their pods for a "roll in the hay" as it where?? i asked my endo and she said taking the pod off for less then an hour is oookay, but i wanted to know if those who have pods can actually take them off and on for certain activities???

My wife is very comfortable with it on my arms, again just let your partner be aware of where it is placed, and it should be smooth sailing. I have had more trouble with it coming off at work then anything else, but that has been resolved, so have not had a pod come off in 2 years now. Good luck.

I like it wear it on the small of my back, but that is also not ideal since it is kind of a sexy place. So on the arm is best and hasn't been a problem!

hope this helps and good luck.
Really? A "romantic game" of taping the pod on? Hmm, never tought of that one!
