    i can't say that i know what wearing a corset is like, but mine was a bit tight. You get use to it but i believe you can get extenders too. I have the same HRM and i love it.

    I put mine right where my sports bra strap goes anyway, so I don't notice it much. Yes, it's tight, but it needs to be. When you start getting all sweaty you don't want it slipping off. :)

    Same here. It fits perfectly right where my sports bra sits anyways and I just forget it's there.
  • it needs to have direct contact to your skin to be able to monitor your heartrate. Yes, it's very tight, mine is not comfortable until I start working out, then I forget I have it on because I'm too busy thinking how much I hate working out. lol

    pedmomJill: i will have to put it where my sports bra strap goes. thanks. I am trying to get pregnant. so i thought i could use the hrm while i am pregnant as well.

    doornumber03; "i can't say that i know what wearing a corset is like", that made me laugh:) you have the same hrm. i just bought the polar ft4 this afternoon. i was tired of trying to figure out how accurate the treadmills were at the gym.
