A few time's I've had to hide it in my bra (like with certain formal dresses) but this can get tricky sometimes! Minimed has a great online store and plenty of options for protecting your pump and keeping it on your body. I'd assume that other brands have options as well. As for sports, I hate when the pump bounces around, so the slim clip I mentioned before works great!

Matt, have you ever checked out the case that people protect their pumps with so they can wear it on their belts? Might work for you!
