    I always wore mine on my waist band above my right hip. If its jiggling you can wear it on the waist band of your underwear with pants worn over that to stabilize. :)

    Try wearing it on the side seam of your pants. Some will work clipped on your bra, too. I have to find a spot to clip it so it's complete vertical-- on my waist band they sit too horizontal to be accurate-- I think they pick up my breathing as steps when I hang it there.

    I've had much better luck with an accelerometer type, rather than the analog "rocker" type. I have a Fitbit One that is quite accurate for me, I clip it into the pocket of my pants. It's supposed to count flights of stairs, too, but I walk funny on stairs so it doesn't register mine. The cheaper Fitbit version would have served the same purpose for me (I think it's called the zip?). The wrist ones are not accurate for me, though.

    Keyo i tried on my underwear and it slipped off which lead to a awkward moment of trying to retrieve lol!
    This one is pretty cheap, i wanted to make sure i would use it before i spent extra money!!
    I will try the bra and i am also going to try in my back where i jiggle less!
    One day i may get a fitbit but first i want to just walk, just move more then i am

    Thanks for the tips :smiley:

    I bought one that has a second safety clip so if it slips off, no awkward moment. I found it at Walgreens for about $25. It can also be placed in my pocket and does an accurate step count.
