Sunflower Lanyard

MJJ24

Hello all, I use the sunflower lanyard quite often when going out and find it quite helpful. However, as its getting warmer and I am wearing more just t-shirts and no hoodies and stuff I am finding that wearing the lanyard is too irritating with it touching my neck (for context I don't wear necklaces or anything around my neck for this reason). I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice for what I could use instead that will still be clearly recognisable because as I say I do find wearing it helpful. Thanks in advance!

    You're welcome!

    I wouldn't wear the round, pin badge with a single-layer top like a t-shirt, because the butterfly clip at the back is quite prominent and would feel too uncomfortable.

    But the ribbon badge is only attached with a very small safety pin and is very lightweight. There need only be a tiny section of the pin on the inside your clothing. 

    If neither are tolerable, the wrist band is still a good option. It's also easy enough to raise your hand and gesture at it if you need to actively draw someone's attention to it.

    There are some other options, too - including a t-shirt with a pre-printed lanyard image, armband, bag tags, and a baseball cap:
