So- am I using it wrong? My HRM has given me 2 different friction burns this week. What can I do?

    Not sure what type you have, but I assume it's the chest strap that is causing the problem? I have a Polar HRM with a chest strap, and the instructions say you can use it over a thin t-shirt if there is irritation from the strap. You just wet the t-shirt under the strap. Maybe that would help you, too?

    Thank you! Yes, I have a Polar also, and the boyfriend has put the box somewhere... Thank you very much!

    Make the strap a little looser, and you can buy body gilde that will help reduce the friction with your skin.
