I have not been having much success with the hand under my elbow technique unfortunately, but think I have found a solution that works for me

I bought an arm band to keep my sensor in place because i was catching it, so I came up with the idea of tucking something in the band.
I found some large foam bendy rollers a friend had given me and hadn’t used,
I bent one in half and tuck it in right behind the sensor which lifts my arm up enough to stop me squashing my sensor and are soft so not uncomfortable.

I think they were from primark, but I think you can buy them in superdrug, amazon.

Hope this helps anybody else having this problem thats as wriggly as me

Thanks for this. It is amazing what different solutions we come up with.

I have known these rollers be covered and used to line a ring box for a wedding too
