to assume I´m not the only person to find seatbelts uncomfortable

[Happy36]

Been in a car more often this past month or so than usual (I don´t drive and we don´t own a car). Seatbelts are so uncomfortable! Does anyone else find the seatbelt rubs their boob/nipple on the opposite side? I have taken to holding the belt away from my body in the boob area to avoid the unpleasant rubbing sensation.

Um, no.

Do you wear a bra?
I have never felt this before!

I don't have the problem with my boobs, but I do find they tend to dig in to my neck, even when they are on the lowest setting.

I don't even notice them but then I suppose I am in the car every day so have got used to them.

Nope never noticed the boob rubbing thing and I drive everyday. They ocassionaly dig into my neck though.

Try wearing a padded bra OP.

I do wear a bra, often with a bit of padding. Also I am not very large in the boob area (B cup in Spain, A cup usually in England as bras there are bigger).

Are you very short/small? It sounds as if the seatbelt is too high for you if it's rubbing your norks and your neck.

Try adjusting it - there could be a sliding adjuster where the belt mechanism joins the door frame.

I am 5´7". Thanks for the tip about the sliding adjuster. I will check that next time.

I've got ginormo-boobs so the belt always rides up and ends up rubbing my neck

I don't get that problem, they go across the front of my throat instead. It doesn't make any difference how I adjust them so I am just constantly uncomfortable. All anyone suggests is to get the padded things to wrap around but I find them equally uncomfortable as the seatbelt is still going across my throat. If I had an accident then I would break my neck I'm sure.

I get the seatbelt across my throat, too, and find myself pulling it back down across my shoulder every couple of minutes. At 5'2" I think I probably just ought to be using a booster seat

It would be nice if seat belt adjusters went a little lower though.

I'm 5'4" and have also wondered about the booster seat :o

Going thru the windscreen is quite uncomfortable too, so I'm told.

Hence why we are all wearing seatbelts regardless of the discomfort.

Better uncomfortable than dead.

My Ma used to use a cothes peg to relieve the tension on hers before the height adjustable ones were so common. There was a device called a Klunk Klip too, dunno if you can still get them

Looks like they are still around, plus you can get velco pads to stick on

I'm 5'10'' and dislike the seatbelt, though i'm driving so much at the moment I have got used to it. No problem on the boobs though, more on the neck like others have said.

I'm 5' 3" and find I get the garotting effect too. I got a clip type thing to hold the diagonal bit in the right place.

I'm only 5'2 so I have one of the little plastic clips to hold the belt in the right place otherwise it cuts right across my neck (and was really, really unpleasant in a minor bump as instead of my shoulder and torso it cut across my neck).

You get them from Betterware or on amazon/ebay.

I'm 5'8" and in my old car, the seatbelt used to irritate the skin right under my left breast. My new car is built for comfort and I don't have any problems.

Please don't hold your seatbelt away from your body, however irritating it is! My mother does that because the seatbelt grates on her neck, and I always tell her I'm not going to drive if she does it. I was saved in an accident by a seat belt and it's worth any irritation.

Yes OP, you're not alone. The seatbelt gives me neck ache on the right side. It's adjusted properly and only lightly and occasionally touches my neck. Very weird.
