Ladies- sports bra hrm strap advice?

Andrea0078

Okay, so, I'm a 36DD & have somewhat recently taken up running. I also just purchased a Polar FT60 with the HRM strap that's on its way in the mail. After having done my research, it came to my attention that HRM straps & sports bras don't usually get along. Especially when you basically have to wear a straight-jacket in order to contain the top meat anyhow. Sorry for the tmi....
Any ladies in my situation been through this & have any advice? I finally found a decent bra & I still have to double up, but when I first started running I wore an Ace compression bandage (like you use when you twist your ankle...) around my chest with a sports bra on top. It actually worked pretty well. I wonder if the HRM strap with the ace bandage on top would keep everything in place?
Any advice top-heavy ladies? I kind of resent having to comb through stuff for hours online when I'd rather just have the equipment to feel comfortable during my work out & get it right the first time.
Thanks in advance!

I put mine on - right under my boobs - then I put my sports bras on. I have a Polar FT4. seems to work pretty well.
I am a 36D/DD.

Hmm. Maybe I'm anticipating a problem that won't really be a problem. Thanks!

Ugh. It's tough trying to work around the two. Whoever invented the HRM clearly did not have boobage ladies in mind.

I don't wear mine that much anymore but I would wear it right under my breasts, under the sports bra. I sweat profusely so sometimes it shifted under there. I think if you have the same problem, the Ace bandage will help.

Wear some Vaseline or chaffing cream because the HRM can cut into your skin. :-( It did with mine.


Good luck!
