Polar HR strap irritation for women

I don't know if my description will help here cos we may use different for what I am going to describe. Anyway...I cut up a spongy dish cloth-we call them a Wettex here-into a small square and wear it under the part that irritates. My bra sometimes irritates too.

I hope that helps.

There's a new sports bra called Numetrex with heart rate sensors in the fabric.  You wear it in place of the chest strap.  It doesn't chafe or rub and it's a great sports bra on its own.  You can buy it on-line at www.numetrex.com.  It's compatible with Polar heart rate monitors and uses the snap in wearlink pod from your Polar soft strap.  Good Luck.  

Thank you for all the ideas, I'll give them a whirl.

Hi Bexsmith,

We are sorry to hear the strap is irritating you! We very rarely hear of this happening. In fact, we have had nothing but GREAT feedback on the new Wearlink strap.

Polar manufactures a sports bra with an insert for the transmitter that may help. And as someone mentioned above, Numetrex makes a good accessory for men and women.

Please contact us ASAP using this link : Contact.

We would love to do whatever it takes to make sure you are comfortable with the transmitter.

Good luck with training.

Agreed, great ideas here. I'm impressed that Polar also responded, that's great!

I have used body glide, but I'm going to experiment with the strapless strap stuff also.
