Libre experiment using thigh

I'd be interested in any women use their thigh.
I would be concerned I would catch it when I went to the bathroom.
How can I put this delicately? I rarely catch a sensor on my arm with my bra because I only pull the straps over my arm twice a day - when I put it on and take it off. Other underwear goes up and down my thighs more often.
I agree and as someone who wears skinny jeans often or other tight fitting clothing like jodhpurs I could foresee an urgent trip to the loo being a real threat to a Libre on the thigh, particularly in this recent warm weather when clothing has been more sticky!
Equally I would be interested in any women who have tried Libre on their chest?

Wear skirt & go commando, problem sorted.
 
Also remember that if using it while driving, the readings will not be accepted by the police if ever checked for whatever reason. It's only approved for driving while placed on the approved site. When driving it would be wise to back up with a finger prick.

Agree with helli earlier, can't imagine police would have a clue where sensor should be, besides get great results when using alternative sites so no issue there.

On long journeys still do bg tests as often do car journeys of 2+ hours, also after 40 years of type 1 hypo symptoms are still there so that's always reassuring, thanks anyway for comment my friend.
