SPIbelt Diabetic Belt: Adult - No-Bounce, Discreet Belt with Hole for

Customer Reviews

Recommended for those with insulin pumpsI bought the adult size for my 15 year old daughter for her insulin pump. She loves it. She wears it all the time even to bed. She is very active and she says it stays put and doesn't bounce around. She can adjust it very easy wherever she wants and how tight she wants it: lower hip/waist or upper hip/waist area. It doesn't need belt loops to stay put but the strap goes through belt loops. Either way it's adjustable. It's easy to pull the tubing through the opening of the pouch, and she loves how the tubing stays out of the way. She can fit both her insulin pump and Dexcom receiver in it, which is really nice because finding a place for the receiver can be a pain. This pouch is very discreet and form fitting to the pump so it's not bulky. I highly recommend this to everyone... especially diabetics since its hard to find something that doesn't ride up, bounce all over, isn't bulky, and everything else. 5Bag is Thin Swimsuit Liner Stretch Nylon Tricot FabricI really don't care for this belt after hesitatingly buying it. As other reviews said, yes, it is terribly uncomfortably tight (much more child-sized than adult-sized), but slightly loosens over time like a cheap elastic band that holds up pajama bottoms, but you still feel the pressure of tightness and the elastic easily rolls which hurts as it digs into your skin. The pressure of it around your waist, and especially the thick buckle when sleeping, is uncomfortable. The fabric of the tiny bag is like a thin 4-way stretch nylon tricot knit fabric, the kind that is used in a swimsuit lining. The fabric is see-through enough that you can read a CGM receiver or a pump through the fabric. Having to unzip the bag every time you need to access a device is a pain. Fitting both in the little bag at the same time, then zipping it closed, CAN be done, but very tight and awkward. Wearing two devices makes the bag so thick that it will show under clothing like a deformity around your waist. The person I purchased this for places a Dexcom G5 receiver in the belt's bag and clips a Tandem X2 case directly on the elastic belt next to the bag. Changes I would make to this item would be to make the belt sizable for different body types, reduce the size of the quick-release clasp and have two bags on it, since pumps and CGM's must be worn at the same time. 2SPIbelt is no longer a good product.They've improved the SPIbelt into an absolute failure. Why do companies take a perfectly good product, & then completely ruin them? Actually, I know the answer.They obviously brought in someone who told them they could "maximize profits" by cutting corners on the product. So, to squeeze out a few pennies on each item, they've screwed their customers, & provided an inferior product.The pouch is now too small to hold a cellphone, my insulin pump barely fits & stretches the material, which means it will wear through sooner making it necessary to purchase a replacement sooner (it WON'T be another SPIbelt). They shortened the belt, making it so the material gets stretched further causing the belt to be uncomfortably tight.So to save a few pennies, & "maximize your profits" you have lost a loyal customer. One who used to sing your praises & recommended your product to many others. Rest assured that I am in the process of contacting those I told about your product, to let them know to look elsewhere for a better solution. 1Don t get if ur waist is above a 34I like this belt and I have purchased two of them for my insulin pump. However it it tight and after wearing all day long my waist hurts. I have 34 waist and I have this belt as big as it can get. If you have over a 34 waist I do NOT recommend because it is tight on me and sometimes pretty uncomfortable.The pouch is not big I can hold my Medtronic pump and no more. If you want to hold more you ll need a hip pack. I ve swam with this on and it was fine and I sleep with it on nearly every night.I recommend this product (if you have a men s waist of 34 or smaller) 4Size is bit smallThe descriptions states fits waist size of 25 - 47 inches. I fall into the middle of that with pant waist size of 38", and had to loosen to the point adjustment and buckle touch, and I'm still having to stretch it some to connect. If you do have larger waist, your going to be stretching a lot, and believe it would be uncomfortable and forget wearing above waist line, unless you're waist is closer to that 25" mark.Also meant to be worn with zipper side out, but always flips over, which isn't uncomfortable, but doesn't make it easy to get to pump or anything else.To summarize, I'd recommend if waist size is 32" or less, otherwise, find product truer in size. Just received 5 days ago. 3If you're on the fence...get this!If you are on the fence about getting this item...do it!!!!I was on the fence, but took the plunge. This purchase was for my first insulin pump, and I was guessing at what I would need for it. I wear this belt all the time. The hole in the back keeps your tubing from getting caught in zippers, and it's so small it's not noticeable under a shirt. My doctors even asked me where I got it from, and I let them know. I am from a small town, and they had not seen anything like it before.Easy access to your pump, easy to sleep with it on, the slot in the back keeps your tubing safe...it's an awesome product that I would give 10 stars to if I could. :)So, on the fencers, get this! You'll be happy you did. 5I use it for my MiniMed 670g insulin pump it can fit a iPhone xr. Stretchy & adjustable material. What I love about the belt is the material and the adjustable waist band. It has plenty of room for my MiniMed 670g insulin pump. I also have been able to wear my summer dresses and it be completely concealed by just placing it right under where the bra would end, and placing it in the center.It has made it easier to sleep at night. I place it in the same place just like when I wear my dresses the only difference I wear it over my shirt and I place it in the center ,again just below where the bra ends. I also wanted to see if the material stretched enough to fit my iPhone XR which does have a otter box on it and it fit No it will not hold both the pump and phone.My dislike would have to be unfortunately where there is a opening for the tubing for my insulin pump it has already began to unravel which is causing a problem with fitting my reservoir (what holds my insulin) due to the strings getting stuck on it. The other dislike is the how the material is on the back on both corners. They are twisted which I assume the design is for larger items that s how it allows it to expand. Unfortunately it causes the stretchy waistband to twist while wearing it. Which makes it uncomfortable when that happens. 4Button hole is tricky otherwise really usefulPretty nifty gadget! However, I wear a 670G with the clip still on it and it causes the pump to not lay flat very well. Also, the button hole to slide the tubing through has many threads that get caught in my silhouette clip and needle and the edges aren't sewn that well for the expected use, so the edges are already getting frayed. Otherwise, pretty handy for walks, the beach (I wore it in the ocean no problem - forgot it was even there until my pump vibrated to tell me it lost the sensor signal!), the pool, or being out and about. Having to unzip it to check my pump or bolus is a bit unhandy but to be expected with anything which holds the pump inside like that. This is my first time in 25 years of pump-wearing that I have tried something like this and I like it. 4Minor Change But Still GoodBeen using SPIbelts for the past 10 years for my pumps. Have had quite a few, in both diabetic & non-diabetic styles.First, these belts are great for pump wearers. Tried several other runners belts but always come back to SPI because of the quality. These will last a long time and feel great to wear every day. Other belts began falling apart within a month of daily use. There has been a minor update to the diabetic belt though.Both versions used to be identical except for the pass-through hole for pump tubing. Recently they moved the buckle from the center of your back in the rear to the front left about 2 inches from the pouch on this version. Seems easier to manipulate the clasp from the front, however it is now very uncomfortable to sleep with if you're a side sleeper. Clasp digs in while I lay on my side so I'm constantly adjusting it overnight.This product would get 5 starts if not for the change to the buckle placement. Some may prefer it, but be cautious if you sleep on your side while wearing this one. 4It might not be the same if you bought this item from MedtronicI bought this as a replacement for an earlier version of the same product that I bought from Medtronic. Because this item, at least for me is worn 7 days a week, the hole for the infusion set gets very worn and stretched out. This version is not the same and it the straps are not the same. This one is very uncomfortable and I am now regretting buying this from this source. Buyer beware, it may not be the same if you are buying it as a replacement. 1
