  • Thank you!! Have you ever measured your ribcage where the strap goes? I know it theory we're 34 inches because that's the bra size, but I'm actually 31 inches (there's NO way I'm a 32 bra size though!!) Thanks!

  • Thank you! Have you ever measured your ribcage, where the strap goes? I had the same experience with the M-XXL one. I didn't think I had a small ribcage, but maybe where the strap goes it is? I did wash it in the washing machine and would rinse it periodically after use but to be honest since I've ruled out battery issues…

  • A couple people have suggested checking Vitamin D levels....I failed to mention that I am taking a prescription strength (50,000 iu per week for 3 months, then decreasing to OTC) Vitamin D supplement.

  • I'm 5'2" and I think the BMI chart can kiss my rear. I am currently 145 and would be very happy with a fit and strong 130. As long as you're close to being in the range it suggests, I wouldn't get too caught up in the numbers.
