Welcome! > [@Pump “break”!](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/pump-break/5214/29): > > Thank you and I didn’t mean to hijack the thread. Don’t worry about thread hijacking here. Everyone is really nice! And the mods are happy to move stuff around to give it room to grow into its own thread, so more folks can learn from it. 😉 (I’m going to try to find my laptop so I can move your posts, unless another mod beats me to it or you object). Also there are a few threads about pod placement, most linked in this article, which a new user might find helpful. > [@Omnipod placement: where is best?](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/omnipod-placement-where-is-best/5327/3): > > My favorite spots so far have been the lower back/love handle area, and upper thighs. Arms weren’t comfy for me, so I use them for Dexcom instead. Stomach is ok for me but I don’t love having stuff there for some reason. I need to start branching out a little though. I’ll confess I tried the butt pod thing and absolutely hated it, lol. Sorry @T1Allison laughing I have never been so happy to remove one!! And please, feel frustrated if you like! @Chris is right, that’s why FUD exists basically. Sharing those frustrating moments sometimes leads to finding solutions you didn’t know were out there! We joined FUD a while ago and have learned so much (my partner EH is T1, Dx 2005). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/pod-placement-successes-and-failures/7579)._
