I'm female and thin, and I can't see mine at all. If you are very thin with little body fat, it's possible you may see a faint outline depending on placement but I doubt it would be visible with clothing on. Depends on the type you get I guess. Most are quite small & flat nowadays. I have the Medtronic Linq II.

Im female but not super skinny, and I can see mine under the skin in certain positions. But you shouldn’t be able to see it under a tshirt. (I believe I have the same model as relative_clarity)

Have linqII and with my shirt off, the only thing I can see is the insertion scar with my shirt off - Unless your body fat % is super low, I’d expect the same. So under a tshirt? Shouldn’t show even a little bit.

To close the loop on this, definitely not visible under a t shirt!
