Placement

Im really struggling bad with placement of these pods. Im very slim so when i try to do the pinch technique i dont really have much to pinch. this is my 4th pod hopefully better than the last ones.. i hit a muscle in my leg and arm. trying my stomach again. is there anyone similar size that has figured out a good routine..? the pump helps so much its just my placement is really cause a lot of issues..
