Quick Answer

Wearing Fitbit in a bra is possible but not recommended. Doing so will not give you accurate data in many cases, and you won’t be able to use some features. On top of that, you will have to purchase special clips to attach the Fitbit to your bra. 

Fitbits are fitness tracker smartwatches and have straps to put them on your wrist. But many people wear Fitbit in their bras. It’s not a healthy practice. In most cases, it’s not convenient. 

Most importantly, doing this reduces the capability of your Fitbit and forces it to deliver inaccurate results. 

Why Is Wearing Fitbit In Your Bra Not A Good Idea? 

Fitbit In the Bra

The answer is simple. Fitbits are designed for wearing on the wrists. So, they will do their best when attached to the wrists. But that’s not the only reason you should not wear them in your bra. 

That’s why med professionals recommend not wearing Fitbit in bras. They come close to your heart. 

But most important of all, Fitbits are made in a way so they can collect necessary data from your writ. Having them on your bra won’t let them collect correct data from your body. So, you won’t get accurate measurements. 

On top of that, many features will not simply work. The chances of falling on your Fitbit grow higher when you put it in your bra. But unfortunately, your warranty won’t work in this case. You won’t be able to claim a warranty if you wear Fitbit in your bra and it gets damaged. 

Above all, you will have to invest extra money in purchasing clips for wearing Fitbit in your bra. Considering all these facts, it does not seem ideal to wear a Fitbit in bras. 

What Will You Lose When You Wear Fitbit In Bras?

According to a survey, 97.3% of Fitbit users use Fitbits for tracking Physical Activity levels. But putting Fitbits in your bra will limit you from many of its features. 

Let’s see what you will lose if you wear Fitbit in your bra. 

Heart Rate 

Heart rate detection is one of the vital features of a fitness tracker. And if you have a Fitbit, you definitely would want to check your heart rate at least once or twice a day. But if you decide to wear it in your bra, you won’t get the heart rate measurement. 

Sleeping Data 

Having Fitbit in your bra will not give you accurate sleeping data. A fitness tracker records sleep information from the blood circulation of your wrist. So, if you put it on your bra, you have to say goodbye to sleeping information.

Inaccurate Step Counts 

I’m sure you check your step count every day from your Fitbit. But if you wear it in your bra, your Fitbit won’t be able to record correct step counts. So, you won’t get a reliable result. 

Final Thoughts 

Wearing Fitbit in your bra is neither convenient nor reliable. That’s why Fitbit recommends not putting it in your bra. But if you really want to do this, invest in a good clip.
