I have a Cardiosport Go 30 HRM. I find that no matter how tight I have the strap, once I get sweaty, the belt starts slipping and contact is lost. This is highly frustrating as (a) I have to keep trying to hitch it up under my bra as I run, which makes me look a berk, and (b) it ruins any attempts at trying to keep sensible records.
Does anyone have any hints on how to solve this problem? Is there a previous thread you could point me to? I've tried searching the forums, but not managed to find anything.

Not that I lurk on bra threads, you understand.
Muttley's right, there is a sports bra with HRM sleeve, think it is by Triumph (try lessbounce.com)
I am not sure how GOOD they are but if your not a larger lady might be worth a try?

Only trouble is, I ended up ordering a heap of other stuff too, heh heh!
I invented a piece of string that went round the HRM strap and round my neck. This was so fiendishly uncomfortable that in the end I stopped wearing the HRM. It now sits in a drawer, unloved. I suppose I could get a piercing and have a hook I can latch it on to.
By the way, long time no see, Tehuti, and please drop in to the Mature thread and say Hi some time. Glad you're still running.
I have been doing weight watchers and got to goal last week after shifting over 3 stone! but I have found that a smaller bust is most welcome no more back ache why do ladies want breast enlargements soooo big??? I can understand for a bigger cup but not for a bucket!!
(no, really - I lost five stone)
At the age of 51, I now weigh less than 20-yr-old younger daughter who is 3 inches shorter than me <she said smugly>
Grounds for smugness!
I am feeling smug about my 3 stone!
I must admit the last 7 lbs was the hardest to shift but since getting to goal managed to lose another 2 1/2lbs! I am looking forward to losing a little more so I have a bit to play with if I have a week or two holiday! Its so nice to walk past Evans and think I cant shop there any more!!
I have the most awful tummy still I have had 6 ops the last one was my hysterectomy which I had a very nasty bleed after and had real problems and my muscles never went back as they where badly damaged, I was hoping they would do some corrective surgery but naah they didnt errr mores the pitty so I still have to carry my belly in my handbag!
Completely dry up to 1 mile except for the electrodes - stays on ok
Warming up (1-2 miles in), bit of sweat - starts to slip
Warmed up/sweaty - stays on fine again
Solution seems to be to get the whole thing completely wet under the tap and then put it on. All seems a bit illogical really.
Why doesn't someone make mini-braces for them?! Or use the non-slip rubbery stuff the gf's stockings have?
And I've also found that running doesn't enable me to just eat like I used to - I put on weight if I eat junk but run lots.
Rather than running to lose weight, my motivation is now the other way round. I looked back at last year's running log and my best race performances coincided with my highest training mileage and my lowest weight. So now I lose weight to run faster.
