Is anyone willing to send me a pic of them wearing a HRM (female). I'm having a hard time trying to find the right position on my body. It goes into effect mode a lot. I don't need to see your face if you don't want me too. Just a pic of the location, that you place the HRM on the front of your body. If you don't want to post on here, let me know and I'll send you my email or phone number, so u can text it to me..

Thanks so much...

    I tuck it under my breasts, just above where my bra sits. The bra helps hold it in position.

    Make sure it's a little damp. It will help the reading. If I'm not already a little sweaty from stretching or whatever, I rub a little bit of water underneath it.

    I've tried it everywhere, maybe I need to snap it around my *kitten*, that's where all the burn is anyway..

    Here you go, I've been having trouble, I was wearing it higher, under my bra elastic but I kept on having a heart rate of 0.0, I have found if I wear it lower and tighter it works better. (Please excuse the stretch marks!!)

    ^^^ this is where I wear mine, as well. I have problems with it registering zero if it is between my bra and my skin, but this position, just below the bra strap, around the ribs, right where the sternum comes to its end, is perfect.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVEN'T WENT THAT LOW. I CHANGED FROM MY REGULAR BRA, THINKING IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE UNDERWIRE. BUT IT WAS STILL OCCURING. I'LL TRY THIS POSITION TOMORROW TO SEE HOW IT WORKS.

    YES, YOU REALLY NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST SPOT FOR MORE ACCURACY. I'VE JUST BEEN HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THE "SWEET SPOT" DON'T GET DOWN ON IT THO, I STILL LIKE TO USE CALORIES BURNED FROM THE HRM BETTER, EVEN IF IT'S OFF A LITTLE.

    ^^^ This! I also ALWAYS wet the strap, unless I'm heading to the pool in which case I don't :)

    I too, tuck it up under the bra under the breasts. I wear an underwire sports bra so i have to tuck up pretty far. beneath the bra didn't work for me due to my fat roll :)

    I just recently discovered they make bras with a connector built in for your hrm. They don't come in my size (40H) but they did have some for normal people.

    This is exactly where I wear mine too. Higher was giving me 00, a bit lower and tighter worked great for me.
