Diabetes affects every facet of daily life\u2014diet, sleep, and exercise, to name a few. It can even affect clothing choices. Whether your pump is a lump underneath your clothes or tied to you 24\/7 by a tube, chances are you\u2019re very aware of how some clothing better suits your pump than others.<\/p>\n

When the warmer weather arrives and we swap our coats and jeans for lighter clothing, it can be difficult for your pump and your fashion sense to peacefully coexist. You want to buy the super cute dress you saw in the store, but you know it doesn\u2019t have a sensible place to put your pump. That\u2019s where pockets, and other creative solutions, come into play. Check out the variety of dresses below that feature pockets for your pump in addition to spring trends, or try one of the do-it-yourself methods detailed below. Remember that you don\u2019t have to sacrifice your unique sense of style because of your diabetes: It\u2019s possible for them to come together in hip harmony.<\/p>\n

1) Boho Chic<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Springtime<\/p>\n

This dress has a cool blue palette and is certainly on-trend with its ombr\u00e9 pattern. Its long-sleeves, coupled with discreet pockets, make it easy and stylish to conceal any kind of insulin pump. Bonus: It\u2019s totally affordable, with a bargain price tag of $30.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Playful Romper<\/a>\/Jumpsuit<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(for those not fond of dresses!)<\/h3>\n

\"Springtime<\/p>\n

Dresses and skirts just not your thing? Don\u2019t discount rompers or jumpsuits, which more often than not feature pockets as part of the standard design. They\u2019re easy to style, too, and can be made casual with a pair of sneakers and a cardigan or dressy with high heels and chunky jewelry. Try this jumpsuit<\/a>\u00a0with an interesting vine print and smocked waist or this romper<\/a>\u00a0adorned with pastel flowers.<\/p>\n

3) Simple and Sweet<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Springtime<\/p>\n

This dress is available in seven different colors and stands out for its trapeze shape, a style that\u2019s flattering on nearly every body type. It\u2019s free of fussy ruffles or frilly lace, making it easy for you to dress it up or down to suit your preferences. The boldness of the honey yellow shade allows the dress to speak for itself and is an ideal sheath for those unafraid of color.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Flower Power<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Springtime<\/p>\n

Spring weather often signifies the start of growing gardens and blooming flowers, and this is true for the fashion world, too. There are tons of dresses out there with floral prints, but I especially like this one for the one-shoulder detail and pops of bright color that stand in contrast to the navy bodice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Quirky Cute<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Springtime<\/p>\n

Modcloth.com is a treasure trove filled with vintage and fun fashions. This dress exemplifies its spirit with white accent piping and patchy pockets. The vibrant red color helps make the frock especially fanciful and makes it a great addition to a fearless fashionista\u2019s wardrobe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As fun as the prospect of shopping for new clothes might sound to some, others might prefer to think more outside the box and find a way for pre-existing closets to accommodate insulin pumps. You may decide to take a do-it-yourself approach by reinventing the use of a wardrobe staple: the tube sock. Cut it up and tie it around your thigh, garter-style, for a quick fix. For those athletes out there who simply struggle to make their pumps or CGMs portable, the Myabetic<\/a> Dexcom armband is a fantastic find that won\u2019t require you to make one single adjustment to your attire. Or if you don\u2019t mind getting a little more intimate with your insulin pump, consider purchasing underwear that\u2019s specifically designed to hold your pump securely. The following article<\/a> features five brands that make panties for your pump. You can also try clipping your pump to your bra, as long as you don\u2019t mind potential beeps and bleeps emitting from your chest!<\/p>\n

Whether you choose to put your pump in a pocket, garter, or even your panties, know that these options make it easier to maintain your pump\u2019s portability and wear clothing with confidence.<\/p>\n

Note: If you use a pump with tubing, consider cutting a small hole into pockets so you can run the tube through it, making it easily accessible and more comfortable for you to wear.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
