Sorry @Kaylz. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. I am chunky and muscular! You are thinner and muscular. If I just say I am chunky, it makes me sound fat and I am not (maybe I have an insecurity issue), which is why I used the term muscular but I didn't mean to undermine you in the process. I was just trying to help Helen have an idea of sizing. I measured my arm at a fraction over 30cm so went for the next size up just to be safe.
Don't be daft! I didn't take it that way at all! My arm is 29cm but I only measured after getting the eBay ones for the custom one xx
 
I use OPSITE which I cut into circles. I first put a circle of thin card over the actual sensor and stick the opsite over it. It's not as attractive as those bands, but I wear the sensor on my thigh, so the bands aren't suitable. I spent 5 weeks in a hot climate in and out of the sea and the sensors stayed put the whole time.
Thank you so much!!! I have the sensor on my abdomen and the this adhesive layer worked perfectly!!!
Problem solved xxx
 
I have the sensor on my abdomen and the this adhesive layer worked perfectly!!!

I can see how an arm band is not going to be the ideal solution for you then!! Unless you really have a teeny tiny waist! Pleased the Opsite is working for you!
 
Oh great Helzy! So pleased it worked for you.
