For the Ladies: HRM Strap Riding up

This goes out to all the ladies out there that are "well endowed" up top.

My favorite sports bra has underwire in it. I feel it gives me the most support. However, when I have my HRM on the strap keeps riding up to the underwire and then it goes haywire. Either I register 0 or 215 and I know Im not dead at either points in time. Anyone have any suggestions??

    Could you wear two regular sports bras instead of one with an under-wire? I have boobs the size of a 12 year old but I have friends who wear two sports bra's and it seems to work for them. Or maybe tighten the strap of the HRM it sits just below your boobs and stays in place? Also I'm not sure if different under wire style would work, you could wear a regular bra under your sports bra that maybe doesn't come down as far ?

    Regular sports bras don't really fit. I can't buy my bras in Victoria's Secret because they don't carry my size.

    I tuck the HRM strap just under the band of my (underwired sports) bra; it's not too uncomfortable and keeps it firmly in place.

    I have a shock absorber bra in a 36DD and its fantastic (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shock-Absorber-B5044-Womens-Run/dp/B007KDEACE/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1350045269&sr=8-19). I don't move at all. You just need to find the suitable style. Here's an article that gives some good advice.

    I bought some two sided velcro attached to sports bra(UW) and chest strap. I had that problem with underwire only,not regular.
    worked good.

    HRM chest strap is a pain with am enell bra. on those days i just position the bra over the HRM

    also your strap should be tighter if it's riding up

    I wear my chest strap directly under my breast and my bra goes over the top of it. I also wear an underwire and have not noticed any problems with it interfering. Do you wet the electrodes before you put the strap on?

    I wore mine the other day to a dance class with a regular bra and I just wore it lower than usual and still worked fine. U may try placing it about 2 1/2 inches lower than mad see if that works
