Put the SkirtMyPump slip on so it rests comfortably on your waist line

After you have put your SkirtMyPump slip on, while keeping your pump tubing connected to the cannula, slide the pump and some of the tubing into the pocket opening near the waist band, between your skin and the SkirtMyPump slip.
Make sure the zippers are closed so your pump doesn't fall out of the pockets

Put on your dress over your SkirtMyPump slip and smile at the new-found ease of wearing your pump with a dress (or a skirt!)

Zippered pockets make it easy to quickly and discreetly bolus

I presently use shorts with a pocket or camisole with pocket. How is this easier and more discreet?
How low is the pocket? It’s expensive so I want to make sure I understand the benefit than what I presently use.
Hi! I’m curious about sizing. I don’t won’t anything too tight…. I am 58 years old, wear size 30 waist Levi’s, and a size 8 in dresses. I was thinking a size 32 would be best, but noticed a size jump from 30 to 34. Would a 34 be too big?? Thank you, Terri
