I have worn a pedometer faithfully for over a year now to log my steps. When I first started wearing one, it got knocked off my pants waistband a couple of times and one time I lost it that way. So then I started clipping it to the waistband of my underwear instead of outside. Now I haven't had that happen anymore. My pants or skirt keeps it from getting knocked off accidentally.

I make a loop with it (the little attached cord that comes with most pedometers) on my belt loop or even my underwear if I am wearing sweats. Sometimes I look down and see my pedometer dangling from the string because it fell off the clip, so I know I would have lost it long ago if I didn't loop it everytime:)

I WEAR MY PEDOMETER 24/7. IT WORKS FOR ME. YES, I HAVE LOST A PEDOMETER TO THE TOILET AND A FRIEND'S BACKYARD IN ENGLAND. THE PEDOMETER I HAVE NOW HAS A SAFETY CLIP AND YES, I CLIP IT TO MY UNDERWEAR.

My pedometers used to always "pop" off of my waistband when I moved. I lost several and broke a few when this happened. Since I've been using the Personal Trainer: Walking pedometers for Nintendo DS, this hasn't happened.
MORE INFORMATION:
The Personal Trainer: Walking cartridge comes with 2 pedometers that you can clip on if you like, but you can also stick them in your pocket. This is what I like. They're accurate & don't get in your way. You can also use the cartridge to view your activity over the day. Very helpful sometimes.
