This is a question for thoses women who have a VNS.

If you are wearing a dress and don't have a purse with you where do you keep your magnet?

I almost always wear pants and a shirt or a skirt and shirt so I can clip the magnet on the waist. But there are some places that you go that you just won't look right with that on.

I usually have someone with me that puts the magnet on their pants or in a pocket so I'll have it with me. But there are times that I don't, girls night out for example. I'll stick my money in my bra but I can't shove the magnet in there.

If I do have a purse my neuro told me that the magnet shouldn't be kept close to a cell phone or credit cards because it could do damage to them. If the purse has a strap I'll clip the magnet on to that but I don't like to because I lost one once by doing that.
 
Wow, that's a good question... I don't know anything about them, but you've mentioned clipping it to belts or purse straps--this may sound silly, but could you wear a garter and strap it to the garter? Hidden under the dress, but low enough to be accessible without, er, making a scene? LOL!
 
I've always carried my purse and kept my magnet in the separate little pocket in my purse. Didn't your VNS kit also come with a wrist band that you could hook your magnet on to? Mine did but I've never used it.

I don't think I would use a garter for my magnet. Too awkward to gain access to when needed. Especially if someone else needs to use it instead of me. :ponder:

I forgot about that thing. I hate using it though because I have really small wrists, the magnet itself is bigger than my wrist, and it's really bulky. Plus anytime I move my arm over something metal it draws it too the magnet.
