So I have just started wearing tank tops to the gym and I was wondering where to place the strap for my hrm with the tank. Basically I think I'm asking can I place it under my boobs instead of directly on my chest so it won't show?!

    Follow the directions for the HRM for placement.

    You "can" place it anywhere you want. Whether or not you'll get accurate results from a different placement is something else.

    When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

    I've always put in under my boobs. I thought that was pretty much where it said in the instructions to put it.

    ...under my boobs, in fact, I kind of position the bottom band of my bra over top of it.

    Yes, women place the "chest" strap under boobs. Too low and you may not maintain a good reading. That you'll have to work out yourself.

    What were you wearing to the gym before that even makes this a question?

    lol I was wearing a tshirt. I used to put it over my boobs though because when I did a study with our local hospital they would make me put it over my boobs to get a accurate hr. I think the 1st time I went i tried under and she said she just could not get my hr so every time after that I went I had to put it over so when I bought my own i put it over but when I started wearing tank tops it just looked odd and silly with it showing
