Does it work for women with larger breasts? It appears as though the front of the strap might have complications finding somewhere to lay properly.

I think it should. I'm not a small person (6'4", 252#) & it's very adjustable

Did you ever receive a response to this? From one of the reviews on the FT7, the person said he believed a bigger strap would be better for chest sizes bigger than 44". It would be nice if they put the min / max limits in the description! I found the following helpful: Polar Soft Strap Set (XXX-Large)

of course, depending on the size you get, it is a very snug fit. yes the material itself provides support; the strap feels extra supportive.

Let's try to do the math. I have the deluxe, cloth strap. My strap is 33.5" long and comfortably fits my chest (male, 5"10", 165 lb). This strap has 17" of elastic, that I can double to 34" by pulling it. Within the 17" elastic section, there is a 3-fold section that can be lengthened or contracted. This expandable section is 2.5" on my strap. If I contracted it to a minimum, my strap's overall length might increase by 2". If I expanded the section to a maximum, my strap might shrink by 4". So, we do the math. The strap could range from 33.5"-4"=29.5" to 33.5"+2"=35.5". The strap would be comfortable in a range of 29.5" to 35.5". Since I pull my strap about 3" to clasp it, the comfortable length when worn would be 29.5" to 38.5". At its longest, it would have a 19" elastic part that could expand to 38". That is, we could stretch the 19" elastic to the maximum (a double), making the range from 29.5" to 54.5" in length. The strap would be pure torture if it were stretched that taut. To be reasonably comfortable, I don't think you would want to exceed a range from 30" to 42" in length. This strap does not need to be torture tight. You do need to put water on a 2" cloth part and conducting gel on the 10" heart-rate part. The conducting gel will keep the strap stuck to your chest, which for a female is just below their sports bra, and for a male, on their breast bone. I buy my gel at my grocer's pharmacy as a special order, size of 5 liters (about 1.25 gallons). My grocer is #2 by grocery sales, behind only the big-box warehouse grocer. The 5L size is enough to last several years. :-) You want your strap to be comfortably in place at the beginning of your exercise, as adjusting your strap during your exercise can lead to very strange workout statistics. Final answer: 30" to 42" in length when worn comfortably during an exercise session.

It might! Unless yours is over weight, the place you may have an issue is in the front. I am pretty sure the girth straps have enough adjustment for you. Another problem you might have with how it fits is that how far down the bags lay. If they are too high the bags can slip off to one side.

I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

Not sure it would work right, i am an XL also and I tried it on just for the feel, also to be able to respond to questions just like this one. I found the straps rubbed against my underarm area weird, and it felt weird with my bra on also(but a man would not have this issue). If it was the bigger size one obviously it probably would have fit and felt a lot better, but it was purchased for my mom who is a size petite small and she loves it. Just an fyi the straps are adjustable, you just can't see that by picture very well. hope it helps happy brace shopping.

I have a heart rate monitor with a chest strap--it goes UNDER your boobs not over. I am large breasted too, it's not an issue.

I don't know whether it would be for a small woman. All I know for sure is that the straps hurt, it didn't fit me right, and wearing it for very long at a time would have made me weep. I am not a small woman, but the brace only loops around the front of your shoulders so your size shouldn't make a difference. I think the idea for this brace is a good one, but it needs to be redesigned with softer straps and adjustments that would make it fit comfortably.

Yes. Kinda depends on how tight the shirt is but I used it under my dickies shirts. It did kinda poke out in the front but I wear a safety vest also so It was no biggie. I have a bit of a gut though. Chris O.

it is suggested that you clip it to your bra strap or panties. backwards. hope that helps.

It would work better, actually. The length of the strap is so long on mine that I can hardly get it positioned tight enough.

Yes. If you have big breast it will slide right on it and press your breast .

I don't believe this would be a good vest for you depending on just how large your chest is. The material doesn't have a lot of give but the Velcro on the shoulders can make the top wider while the side straps and belt can make the waist smaller. I would say C, if I had to guess, would be the largest breast it would accommodate comfortably but I honestly can't say for sure.

No it doesn't. Now I wish it did and I wouldn't have to wear a certain bra to hold it with.

Probably, it's very adjustable. Both of the straps that wrap around the underside are adjustable, as well as the strap that wraps around the front and the arm holes. GOOD LUCK!!

I never fastened to my bra strap so I don't know. I wear mine everyday attached to the right cup near the middle of the bra
