I slept with it around my waist (just put it over my pj's or gown); the only time I took it off was to shower, and then I hung it on a hook right outside the shower. It stayed on for 48 hours continuously, until I went back to the infusion suite to have it removed --it would start beeping about an hour before it ran out, if I recall. I wouldn't see the pump again until my next cycle. I have read here that some people get their's removed at home by a visiting nurse. I never did anything to it myself and never had any problems with it (except that I hated it).

You're my hero! I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror with that thing on, let alone have sex!
