for couples with ominpods
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???

I have had the pod for 3 years now, and NEVER had a pod get in the way with romantic activities. I typically wear mine on my arm. 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 had a date (just some heavy making out) and had it on my stomach. Bad idea!!!! I ended up with blood in the cannula. 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!

i have had the pod for 4 years and never had a problem with it being knocked off from activities, just from hitting it on a wall or the seatbelt in the vehicles. another precaution not mentioned it to tack it on with iv3000 tape or other tack tape. others have suggested this in the past, they have their spouse help put the tape on to help get comfortable being around the pods and make a romantic game out of the situation.
hope this helps and good luck. -
