When you order it you get to choose the strap size. They give you 3 choices and the inches for each size. I ordered a small, and they sent me a small and a medium.
I have never had a problem with the strap in the water. My hubby has worn the strap with a regular brief suit in workout and never had a problem. You just make it tight. It doesn't hurt being tight b/c the strap is so stretchy.
I specifically got the HR monitor for swimming, b/c I wanted to know how many calories I burned in a w/out.
PS We do flipturns. The only thing I haven't done with it, is dive. With "the girls" I don't think a dive would move the strap, but men might have it slide down with a dive.
Thanks so much for the info. I've been monitoring my weight loss by watching calories through the website you recommended (MFP) and so far it's working, but I'm kinda at a plateau, so I think a HRM with calorie burn output would help me kick it up. I was wondering about what size strap to get too. I do flip turns, but don't think I'll have a problem with a tight strap and my suit to hold it and "the girls" in place! :)
