For females, to keep the bra on or not depends on
whether the electrode strip can be applied correctly
and comfortably with or without the bra. This can be
a personal decision.
For males, remove all clothing from the torso.
Make sure the chest is clean and dry. For males with a
lot of chest hair, it may be necessary to trim the hair in
the area where the electrode will be placed to
