HRM on women

sondyscraps

I was wondering how women wear their heart rate monitors... do you put it below the line of your bra or do you place it under the fabric of the bra so they are layered one on top of other. I am not sure if it really makes a difference but I figured I would ask any ways.

Mine goes under the sports bra (so they're layered). I would think if you put it below the sports bra it's farther from your heart? Or the bra could push it down so you don't get the most accurate readings during exercise? I know some companies sell a sports bra with a built in HRM strap in the bottom strap of the bra, so you might be able to use that as a reference?

I put mine right below my bra, under the line I guess you'd say.

I put the chest strap between my boobs and the elastic of the sports bra. Works great!
