damnit! post #4001 was going to be "my HRM strap smells like a$$"

you've removed it from your body? taking it off is a good first step.

really though, i wash mine every time i take it off in some warm water and eo lavendar hand soap.

maybe febreeze???

i used to have that problem with fabric/webbing watch bands and eventually switched to one that had an all plastic band. what brand is it? you might be able to get a new one (or two and rotate them) from the manufacturer.

How 'bout not sticking it up your a$$?

Just make sure you're washing it every time you use it and don't stuff it in a bag and let it rot either.

hee hee, did you really expect any better responses when you title a thread like that?

If it smells like a$$ try rubbing butt butter on it.

How do you clean your @ss? I'm gonna guess your *** smells like @ss, so maybe you can learn from past experience.

Why do you need to know you a$$ rate. Maybe I need an ARM also.

 

I rinse mine off in the shower after each workout (my HRM strap and my a$$

Does Garmin make an ARM?  I don't have a HRM yet but I thought after reading this that I might be better off with an ARM.  If it's going to smell like a$$ anyway I might as well wear it there.  Besides, with the GPS feature on the Garmin I should be able to tell my a$$ from a hole in the ground, right?

At least I'll always know where my a$$ is.

i think the feature on the garmin is actually called the G.P. A.S.S.

(okay, credit for that one goes to my darling husband).
