God bless you and your family......Thanks for sharing.
When you're sitting down, only the bottom half of your rear is making contact with the seat. Anything higher than that is fair game. So the top of the cheeks, almost down into the rear jeans pockets. It's my absolute favorite podding site. No one ...
I'll look forward to that, Eric!
On me, it's just a bit lower than the waistband. My underwear fit tight against it so there is no rubbing. With jeans or most shorts or casual pants, the bulge isn't really noticeable. Having said that...I'm a guy; I can imagine it might be more o...
I still don't get it...."upper rear?" How does that work with pants? I don't wear tight jeans or pants, but does the pod really just fit there? I picture a funky bulge and/or it rubbing against my waistband or belt.
Thanks everyone for the tips.........
I can no longer use my lower abdomen after pumping there for 8 years. I have to use alternate sites. I ALWAYS experience poor absorption and sustained highs in the lower abdomen. Try the upper rear, lovehandles, upper abdomen, lower back, legs, ar...
This is exactly where I'm speaking of.
I'm pretty lean and any spot on my back above the waistband doesn't work. But, I frequently place pods in that "in-between" space where my back turns into my butt. Here's how I place it: stand with my hands on my hips, thumbs facing the back. The ...
Thanks, Janice. I don't have much going on back there, but I am going to try placing the pod in what little space there is next change.
Elaine and Lee...I prefer to wear the pod on my back. I place it just above the waist band of my jeans or skirt. You've got to be careful that it's not over a lower rib or too close to the spine. I've NEVER had any problem with it there. If I were...
The pod on my back is my favorite place but if I'm going to have a drive more than a couple hours I'll usually avoid it. Shorter drives aren't an issue. Right now my pod is in an area that's "fattier" than most spots and I've noticed that the insu...
I have been on the Pod for about a year.... and I can only wear it on my arm (with any consistency). Before the Pod, I gave my injections in my belly for about 15 years, as that was my best bet. I know its different for girls that wear tight cloth...
Patti...do you always wear skirts or lose pants? I only wear my pod on my upper abdomen as I don't think my clothes would fit over it anywear else and I don't see how it is comfortable to drive with it on your back.
it is actually on my lower left side of abdomen...when I was on mdi's I pretty much always used my abdomen area...it is just , so weird to be out of control for 2 days ,without eating anything really off diet....I'll just have to keep a record of ...

- Hi, Patti! Thanks for commenting! This Thanksgiving and Xmas will be real special, Have 5 bdays in November thru December. I tend to make each one very special along with the holidays, due to just enjoying what's left in my life.
I love all different kinds of people. No matter how bad some people did to me, God showed me alot of compassion and in its rightful place, I do the same. It was God that saved me.
Like my brother says...I'm here for a reason....I tend to make that happen by writing a book.
You take care and I hope you have some must joyous holidays to come. Patti lopez

- Hi Patti...Mine is a French teaching position to grades 1, 2 and 4 and English to grades 4 and 5 in a Montessori school. We have had 2 children in the classrooms I taught in with Asperger syndrome...which is as you know, a high functioning level of the Autism spectrum. I will have a grade 2 student in Sept. with Selective Mutism. So reading up on that during the summer.
