If you're managing diabetes with an insulin pump, finding comfortable and stylish clothing can be a challenge. However, with the right clothing, you can stay relaxed and confident all day long. Here are some insulin pump clothing recommendations!
Look for Clothing with Insulin Pump Pockets
One of the best ways to stay comfortable while wearing an insulin pump is to look for clothing that has a specially designed pocket to hold your pump. MBK offers a range of lounge wear with front, back, internal, and chest insulin pump pockets that have strategic welt openings. The welted openings allow tubing to glide friction free so the tubing moves with you!
Choose Stretchy/Breathable Materials
Stretchy materials like spandex and elastane or breathable fabric can be a great option for insulin pump wearers. These materials are comfortable to wear and can accommodate the added bulk of an insulin pump. MBK's clothing is made from breathable %100 Pima Cotton, a high-quality material that is hypoallergenic and versatile.
Opt for Adjustable Waistbands
Adjustable waistbands are another great option for insulin pump wearers. They allow you to adjust the fit of your clothing as needed, so you can stay comfortable all day long. MBK's pants feature a wider waistband and drawstring to ensure your pump and phone stay in place.
Consider Quality
When it comes to managing diabetes, high-quality clothing can make a big difference. High-quality clothing is more durable and will last longer, so you won't have to replace it as often. Look for clothing that is made from high-quality materials and that is well-constructed, with reinforced seams and sturdy zippers. High-quality clothing will also be more comfortable to wear and will be less likely to cause irritation or chafing. MBK's clothing is made from high-quality materials and is designed to last. While high-quality clothing may be more expensive initially, it can save you money in the long run by lasting longer and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Don’t Sacrifice Style for Comfort
Just because you're wearing an insulin pump doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. MBK Wear offers a range of lounge wear options that are both functional and stylish.
