Do you think it would be ok to put it on my boob so my bra keeps it in place? I know it says only arms but I’m fed up of paying £48 every 2 weeks for them to fall off and call Abbott again. In 6+ months I’ve only had 2 stick for the 14 days
Can't you wrap a bandage around your arm, that'll probably sort it out with the grappling involved

I played a weekly 5 a side football game until I hit 70 3 years ago with age ranges from mid 20s to me, all footballers or ex-footballers so very competitive for the hour's game. Believe me there were quite a few "collisions". Initially I was concerned about the sensor safety. For different reasons, I already had one of those elastic arm bandages. Putting this over the sensor worked for me and I retired without any sensor loss. Hope you find a suitable solution for yourself from all these suggestions

I wouldn't put it on your boobs as that's quite a delicate area sticking plaster is safer on your arm
