Re: want info on arm powerport or chest powerport
My bard port is right under my bra strap and it has been uncomfortable since the beginning. Maybe it's because I am heavy breasted and small boned and thin, so the port sticks out. At first I rolled up a small washcloth and put it under my bra strap on my shoulder to get the weight off the port. Also, the seat belt in the car was uncomfortable in the summer when I was wearing light clothes. Now that it's winter and I have a thick jacket on the seatbelt isn't a problem. I know this port is a minor inconvenience compared to having to use my arm veins. No arguments, but if you have a change to move it away from the bra strap area - that's what I recommend!
