Heart Monitor and bra

[ChickWithBrains]

I found that the cuts in the elastic that the maker creates in the bottom elastic of the bra really compromised the integrety of the bra. I hated it.

Now, I take my well-fitting sports bra, and the monitor without the strap, lick the electrodes (yes it really does help transmit better, just like sweat does) and stick it *above* the girls (I'm a 34C) just under the uppermost edge of the sports bra. Looser bras = too much jiggle when I run, so I end up with a nipple monitor -- still reads HR but looks pretty funny. When I ride, it stays in place, reads well, I have no extra strap, and the bottom elastic of my bra does what its supposed to -- keep me in place. I've done this for two years and am thrilled. I don't know anyone else who does this, but for medium to larger busted women whose bras do decent compression/snug fit I think it'd work like a charm... does for me!

The non coded straps can pick your nieghbor's pacemaker, or High Voltage power could throw them off.

I have a coded transmitter and the fabric "wear link".
It gets thrown off when I ride or run near a railway line anyway, and also in a crowded spinning room. So much for the coding.
Right now I think it's broken as it reads nothing at all or an imaginary value.

I like the idea of putting it on "above the girls".
