Just got this stethescope and I love how much clearer I can hear things, but I can't get the dang thing to stay on my neck! One side always slides off and I keep losing it and droping in places I would rather not. So, what tricks do you use to keep your lopsided stethescope in place?

Feb 1, '08 by lau928My Littman tends to do the same thing so I leave it sitting on my portable computer 1/2 the time. I did buy one of those waist clips that held my stethoscope and it worked - if you dont mind having it clipped on your waistband.Alibaba likes this. - Feb 1, '08 by newlywedRNI wear mine like a necklace. Just clip the bell into your ear pieces(if that makes any sense at all) and it stays put and is comfy.Alibaba likes this.

Anyway... I don't like to wear my scope around my neck. The oils on your skin can make the tubing hard, and I've seen some scopes that won't even straighten out anymore d/t all the oils. I wear mine just over one shoulder with the bell on my back and the ear pieces on my front. It usually stays put there. - Feb 2, '08 by AlibabaQuote from newlywedRNCongrats on your nuptuals!I wear mine like a necklace.

Anyways, I tried this trick last night et viola! My scope stayed put all night! I love it. Thanks for the tip. - Feb 2, '08 by AlibabaQuote from WSU_Ally_RNHello fellow Alibaba!Alibaba... haha! That's what my friends at work call me!

I picked up that name very early in life and it seems to have stuck. I still haven't mastered the magically opening doors yet though! - Guide
Feb 3, '08 by ElvishI'm one of those ones that wraps the earpieces around my neck & leaves the bell in my pocket. No falling off.
