For all their algorithms, touchscreens, connectivity and convenience, most insulin pumps still have one thing working against them (and us): unless you have a pocket, there\u2019s nowhere to put them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a dress-wearing person, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve struggled with finding a place to stash your manufactured pancreas without sacrificing function or propriety. Maybe you’ve hidden it in a boot, or in your bra. \u00a0We know some ladies with diabetes swear by\u00a0men\u2019s underwear. Briefs, to be exact. \u00a0Really. \u00a0It’s true.<\/p>\n

But for those of you who don’t want to go the tighty whitey route, we have good news: designers are thinking of us pumpers. \u00a0From a Swedish company that makes practical panties with secure pump pockets to Hid-In’s racier styles, we can now be subtly and comfortably tethered. \u00a0So take a look below at all the panties with pockets!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Pump Wear Inc’s<\/h2>\n

\"plugin_rollover_images\"<\/a>Pump Wear Inc’s new\u00a0dual-built-in-pocket-underwear<\/a> is the answer to where to put your pump. \u00a0This product’s fabric is a breathable cotton material for the utmost in comfort, and the trendy waist band makes wearing your pump both comfortable and fashionable.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Anna PS<\/h2>\n

\"Annaps\"<\/a>For eco-friendly insulin pump panties, look no further than\u00a0\u00d6sthammar, Sweden, a small town by the Balctic Sea about 1.5 hours northeast of Stockholm, where\u00a0Anna PS<\/a>, has a brand new solution for pump users. Owned by Mrs Anna Sj\u00f6berg, Anna PS\u00a0offers underwear and swimwear<\/a> designed to ease and improve active lifestyles, and in which you can\u00a0\u00a0keep your insulin pump secure and well hidden. Made of tencel (and lycra) the company (with the help of Google translate?) says, “the material is breathing, transporting moisture and cool off.” \u00a0Anna PS underwear comes with either one<\/a> or two<\/a> pockets. (How to use pump pocket video demonstration)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Hid-In<\/h2>\n

\"Hid-In<\/a>Katie Isherwood was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 22, while in her final year of fashion school. \u00a0“I’ve never been embarrassed about my diabetes, or shy about discussing it,” she says. “But I want to choose who I tell and when rather than it just being on show.” Since like underwear, an insulin pump is constantly worn close to the body, Isherwood believes the way it looks, feels and is carried should reflect its intimate nature. “It’s my belief that pump accessories should be more at home in an underwear drawer than a medicine cabinet,” she says.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Isherwood set out to combine her fashion experience as an underwear designer and first hand experience as a diabetic. \u00a0She created\u00a0Hid-In (accessories to discreetly HIDe your INsulin kit) <\/a>to “offer ways to better fit diabetes into your life, so you don\u2019t have to fit your life around diabetes.” \u00a0These Hid-In classic jersey hidden pocket panties<\/a>\u00a0have a hidden soft jersey (modal) pocket panel inside to discreetly hold an insulin pump. The pocket opening is tucked subtly away inside, below the waistband. With the pump removed they look like any other panties. \u00a0If you’re looking for something racy, Hid-In offers panties with a sheer mesh back panel AND a pocket for your pump. \u00a0Two things this diabetic never expected to find in a single product. \u00a0This model as comes with a silky stretch satin front panel, contrasting mesh side panels,\u00a0contrasting lace along the pocket edge seam, and a black grosgrain bow to top it off. \u00a0(Who said diabetes isn’t sexy?)<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Pocket Inner Wear<\/h2>\n

\"pocketinnerwear\"<\/a>Pocket Inner Wear<\/a>\u00a0understands that diabetes never stops. \u00a0But what can stop is the stress about where to put your pump. “Wearing a skirt? Playing soccer? Wearing loose pajamas? Now you can safely and securely tuck your insulin pump out of the way and into your underwear. No more hassle.” This boyshort style<\/a> is comfortable, cute, and may even be suitable for workouts.<\/p>\n

5. La Girafe Bleue<\/h2>\n

\"LaGirafeBleue<\/a>Head on over to Etsy for Canadian custom made panties<\/a> to hold your insulin pump. “These undies are especially made for people living with an insulin pump. They have two internal pockets, situated on the hips, providing a safe place for your pump. \u00a0The panties are only made to order, in sizes x-small to x-large.<\/p>\n

La Girafe Bleue’s panties are made with upcycled cotton t-shirts. The material is soft and stretchy for maximum comfort. All the seams are overlocked for a professional and durable finish. The hems are garnished with FOE (fold-over elastic) to provide solidity and optimal support.<\/p>\n

All the color combinations are possible, provided the right amount of time to find said colors.<\/p>\n

When you buy from La Giraffe Bleue you are supporting a small home-based business from the Gasp\u00e9 coast in Quebec.<\/p>\n
