These would be perfect for my very active 3year old's Omnipod!

What you can win: A SleekSleeves gift package - sticker, hat, and $100 worth of "sleeves" (customized just for you!), plus a personalized note.

| Several "sleeve" options to choose from! |
Made possible by: SleekSleeves (http://www.sleeksleeves.com/)
Why you want this: I found these guys on Twitter and thought, "that would be a neat way to 'protect' a CGM sensor or pump site while exercising/baby wrangling", and it turns out I wasn't the first to have that idea. :)
Here's their backstory:
In 2006, our dear friend, Diane, developed a medical condition that meant she’d have to wear a wrist brace. Always active and seriously put-together, Diane’s understandable desire to look good while playing bridge and visiting friends sparked the idea for what would become SleekSleeves. Diane knew that adding fashion to medical therapy would benefit her state of mind and, consequently, her health.
With Diane’s notion of the mind-body connection to guide us, we set about developing a product line to help individuals facing health challenges to Look Good and Feel Better. Today at SleekSleeves, we receive a continuous flow of inquiries, comments and accolades from new friends and fans of our products. From Alabama to Australia, New York to South Africa and beyond, SleekSleeves users are thrilled to find products that provide vibrant, stylish coverage for all types of medical devices. As SleekSleeves continues to reach further around the globe, Diane’s spirit remains our inspiration.
And as for how a real PWD uses them:
Whether Taylor is wearing her Omnipod on her arm or thigh, she adds an element of fashion and comfort to her every day wardrobe with a SleekSleeves arm band. Also worn by Robin Roberts to cover her PICC line while undergoing cancer treatment, SleekSleeves are versatile, comfortable and fashionable. Depending on your needs, SleekSleeves will work with you directly to determine what sleeve option is the best fit for you, your device and lifestyle.
"My daughter [Taylor] has worn her SleekSleeves to gymnastics, cheer practice and to the pool. They are perfect for fashionably covering her Omnipod and it stayed in place through all her activities." -Barb Heid
