O/T Fitbit. I have found... 3 different positions

Since I'm Italian and talk with my hands wearing it on my arm wasn't working since It registered that I walked 300 steps sitting in my lounge chair and talking so I now wear it on my belt loop when I'm home. It also did not register when I was bike riding so I put it on my sneaker and voila. Then at bedtime I put it back on my wrist. Just thought I'd let you girls know my observations. Hope it helped.

Great idea BeautyAddiction. I've been thinking of getting one but I can not wear it on my wrist since I am ultra sensitive to nickel. Hmm maybe I can figure out a way to put my bodybugg on my shoe...... Thanks!

If you wear an underwire bra, it clips very nicely in the fabric triangle between the two underwires. I put mine there, "u" part of the clip at the bottom, and it works fine with no problems irritating my skin. It is close enough to your body to accurately detect steps and changes in position (credit for floors climbed) is measured very accurately, too.

Once I clipped it to my bra strap with the clip facing forward, and I got a red mark from the polyurethane smothering my skin. I don't recommend that for anyone.

Favorite son, is yours a Fitbit Flex cause mine is a hard rubber bracelet style so would not look good clipped to my bra.

I just got the Fitbit One which clips to either your bra or waistband, I got this because I didnt like the bracelet idea, doesnt show on your bra at all

My husband wears it either in his pocket or waistband,

it is fun to use

I love my Fitbit One & wear it on my bra. I did not want one that shows.

It also does not seem to have the problems associated with wearing the bracelet types where it counts hand movements as steps or does not count steps when someone is pushing a stroller or grocery cart.

Thanks for sharing! I too talk with my hands and was getting an inflated count of steps. I will try it on my bra as well, sometimes I just don't want to wear the wristband. It doesn't go well with all jewelry and outfits.

I clip my Fitbit Flex to my belt loop when pushing my granddaughters stroller and it works great.
