@Beacher the worst part about your suggestions?!? I actually considered them a few times! Like “maybe EH won’t notice if I stick this behind his ear?” Honestly, that one in the back shoulder blade, it’s one of EH’s‘s favorite spots. 😊 ---

> [@TravelingOn](#): > > Honestly, that one in the back shoulder blade, it’s one of EH’s‘s favorite spots. 😊 Although still a complete rookie, I’m going to give it a whirl at my next pod change. Just to prove to Eric that I _do_ believe him. ---

Hi @jduff! That’s awesome! Is it your first time using that spot?? I was giving @Eric a hard time, but I’m actually eagerly anticipating my change tomorrow. I thought I’d try it out as well. I know there’s no point in asking, but did it hurt?? 😬 My only other concern is my hair… don’t suppose you have long hair, do you? ---

First time is this spot, I have short hair so no issues there. A big part for me switching to Omnipod is having more places so seeing this was perfect timing in switching one out last night. I am curious about my upcoming workout and if there will be any impacts so I will report back in. But again seems to be a great location, not painful at all!! ---

So I finally did it - changed the pod tonight and put it on my right calf - outside of the calf actually approx mid-leg. I am a runner and was very very hesitant about doing this but wanted to try different spots so giving this a shot. So far I am absorbing my basal insulin well, will know more within the hour. Put a half strip of KT tape over it to keep it in place. Will keep everyone posted. [Next page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/erics-other-pod-placement-suggestions/5359.md?page=2)
