How do you wear your insulin pump?
I have a pouch my pump fits in that I wear on an elastic belt. The pump lays flat against my waist horizontally and is very comfortable.

I hang my pump from the center of my bra. It works for me.

On my belt or in pants pockets that are high. At night I wear my pump on my boxer shorts waistband.

I have a Velcro pouch that fits around my upper thigh, for when I wear a dress.

How I wear my insulin pump
My wife wears an insulin pump. Because she wears dresses or pants with no belt loop. We made belts with elastic banding and snap buckles to hold the pump.
The greatest advantage is that when a bubble appears in the reservoir she can hang the pump upside down and it does not allow the bubble to block the insulin flow.

Insulin pump in my bra band
I wear my insulin pump in my bra band that goes under my arm. It's located right under my arm - horizontal. I love it, I can wear almost anything that I'd wear a bra with. I do use my remote though.
I only wear my insulin pump
I only wear my insulin pump on my stomach either going higher or lower or left to right. I hook it on to my pants or pocket. I know it is not good to keep your pump generally in the same area, but I've tried everywhere else and it doesn't feel comfortable at all.
