I have mine in the front, about where I would have had an appendix scar if I had had an appendectomy, which I haven't.... does that actually make any sense?

I have had to make a few adjustments though, I have stopped wearing jeans and started wearing cords as they are a bit more forgiving and also I have bought some elasticated belts that have some give in them.

The elasticated belt has been excellent, I am able to eat loads and drink lots of beer without any restriction, think the belt must be shrinking though as I am sure it was longer to start with

Advantages; Easy for charger placement, can move about with charging coil in place and I think it will be easier and less painful should the IPG need replacing.

Disadvantages; Easy to knock the IPG and that hurts, grandson kicks me there whenever I pick him up (little sod), and I have heard that it can hinder lovemaking, I can't verify this as I have only had the unit in six months and I won't get to find out till Christmas
