ladies wearing a HR monitor during long runs...chaffing?

I use to use one but then honestly gave up because the chaffing got so bad.  I got lots of good ideas here on how to try and avoid it but for me, nothing worked.  I couldn't use body glide because then the monitor wouldn't register.  I tried the soft strap but it still chaffed.  I ended up going my PE which seemed to work for me.  I guess I will find in 9 days when my IM race is.  Hope you find something that works for you!!

I don't usually have any issues with my HR monitor soft strap but I do use Body Glide under the straps and not under the HR monitor itself.  I get more chaffing from my bras alone.

I am using the harder strap and just body glide the area and it has been fine ... definitely notice when I don't!

I always use Body Glide under the strap (and the bottom edge of my sports bra). It doesn't seem to have an effect on the HR monitor.

I actually recently switched from Body glide to Tri Slide, it's a spray on and much less thick so seems to have less problems interfering with the HR monitor itself.
