Black Body Band VAT Relief

Product Code: 4719QNV

Only 4 left in stock


The classic Hid-In Multiway black Body Band is a versatile, unisex pump accessory that can be worn in multiple positions due to its incredible stretch and adjustability.

The smooth microfiber pouch and brush-back elastic band are soft and comfortable on the body, like your regular underwear. The overall effect of this sleek band is to make a pump much less visible beneath many outfits. The band is small, light weight and easy to pack, travel with and store, and adjusted for a snug fit, the pump stays firmly in place no matter how active the wearer. The band features:

  • Size: Adjustable from 60cm - 140cm
  • A smooth microfiber pouch, 70% Polyamide 30% Elastane
  • Swan-hook and slider lingerie-style fastening and adjustment that are almost invisible under clothing
  • Double envelope-back closure that removes the need for bulky zips and awkward, uncomfortable fastenings
  • A wide opening offers easy access for you, your pump and your insulin cable
  • A one size pouch/ pocket that stretches to fit most pumps
  • Easy care: it is machine washable with regular underwear up to 40°
