METHOD THREE
Use the Velcro that you stick on (rather than sew on).  Stick the loop half of
the velcro on the neoprene girth and stick the hook half of the velco on the
electrode.  Works for me.              Has held up for several years.   I've
had to replace the girth before I've had to replace the stickie velcro.
