Pump Pouch - Pump Belt - Any suggestions?

[Momto4]

My 6 year old daughter just started "pumping" this week. Our Dr. gave us 2 little pump cases that clip on her belt and of course we have the clip and holster from MimiMed, but I am looking for an "all-in-one" belt for when she plays tennis, goes to gymnastics and ballet. I have searched the web and found several ones, but none just really catch my eye. Do any of you know any great websites to find cute pump accessories for girls? Thanks!

Hi,
I bought mine off of a woman on e-bay but I lost her address. She has Dora and Tinkerbell and they worked really well. I just did a search on e-bay and found the following link for pump pouches. I think Im going to try these also.

I don't know if you sew or not, but I added some pockets to a few tanks that can be used as undershirts. They have celcro at the top to close, and a small button hole at the bottom for tubbing. Now I am trying to work on how to do this with pants. I did take a few of her carpenter pants, and add velcro to the part of the leg pockets that fold over, and I am trying to figure out how to sew the button hole without taking the pocket apart. I may have to do it by hand.

If you can't find anything that is just what you need, maybe you could look at pager accesories, or cell phone accesories. We used to carry our meter and insulin in a camera bag. It had plenty of storage, and pockets, was padded, and worked really well. Sorry I don't have any better ideas. I hope you can find what you are looking for.

I've had my best luck with www.pumpwearinc.com. They are expensive, starting at $29, but the hold up incredibly well. We are going on a year and no sign of replacement being needed. I think they are worth the investment. They also stand behind their products, replacing them if neccessary (in our case a zipper that just would not zip). They have several types, including an all in one.

We order two very cute packs from http://www.myownstylepack.com/index.html.
They are made by a mom with a type one kid. She does special orders where you can order any design and fabric you want. She also has a photo gallery of what she has. They are very simple and made to slip onto any belt up to 1 1/2 inches wide. Zeb is wearing his pump with saline for the first time today so we will see how he likes the pack.

Hope this helps,
Robyn

I'll second the vote for pumpwearinc.com - we ordered packs for my son from them, and they are incredibly well-made and durable. I also found them a very professional company with great customer service :)

if you decide to use the omnipod, try using iv3000 pads. They really help cut down on skin irritation.
