Champion 19812    MA | Subject: RE: Who licks their unwashed chest band HRM? wgraves7582 - 2010-03-28 3:37 PM I don't lick it but I spit on it and rub my fingers in it to spread it around and don't wash my hands afterwards  Same with me..sometimes don't rub it around..just stick it on. |

| Extreme Veteran 399 St. Louis | Subject: RE: Who licks their unwashed chest band HRM? Lick every time I put the strap on. Really never thought about not doing it. My attitude is "My germs is my germs!" Sorry for any of you that are OCD reading this. But then again, no one who is OCD is reading this thread anyways.  Phil |

| Master 1890 Cypress, CA | Subject: RE: Who licks their unwashed chest band HRM? I usually lick my thumb and rub it on the sensor pads. I've also found that aloe vera sunburn gel is a great electolyte, works just as well and is cheaper and easier to find than the medical EKG gel. |

| Master 1702 Southern Ontario | Subject: RE: Who licks their unwashed chest band HRM? Hydro - 2010-03-28 11:45 AM I don't apply any water, spit, or gel to my HRM strap... Just snap it on & go... I've never had a problem getting it to read properly, even on dry skin. Cheers, Chris Me too! I've never had trouble - doesn't matter what time of year or how dry/humid it is. Although my old Polar from a gazillion years ago I used to lick the sensors because it said they HAD to be wet. That's back when I RTFM and followed directions ... but I also swam with it - so it was getting a regular chlorine bath and a shower. Edited by Silver_wlf 2010-03-29 6:31 AM |

| Master 1240 Knightdale/Raleigh | Subject: RE: Who licks their unwashed chest band HRM? Honestly, it never occured to me to lick it or even use spit. It doesn't really gross me out, just never thought of it. I've used mostly empty water bottles in my car, but usually I just go to a sink. |

| 158 | Subject: RE: Who licks their unwashed chest band HRM? Always lick it....I didn't know there was any other way. Sure it's salty if I hadn't rinsed it off from previous use but like someone said it's extra electrolytes. It's better than getting pool water in the mouth that 10,000 kids have peed in...chlorine or not |

I knew Yantilicious would come in with something cool! Luv you babe!!! -  {{{MELON PRESS}}} Oh wait, I'm not supposed to do that in Tri Talk, someone might take my post count away. Then again ... I just let my dog have a lick of peanut butter off my spoon. And no, I'm not finished with it. |

| Master 2327 North Alabama | Subject: RE: Who licks their unwashed chest band HRM? I like my thumb, then lick the strap. Seems to work just fine. However, I do get a really good laugh when I ask the missus if she'd like to like my HRM |
