I have been enrolled in the Brown Scapular already, so I do have one, but I was wondering if there is a certain bracelet I am allowed to wear in lieu of the actual scapular, or if it has to be the actual scapular that I wear all the time?

If I am allowed to wear a bracelet, can anybody suggest where I might find one?

Thanks!
 
It is my understanding that the Scapular be worn according to the direction given by The Blessed Mother. A Scapular Medal has also been added. I am interested to see what others reply as well.

IMHO…Stick with the common brown, wool, scapular.

Blessings,

The scapular is a garment worn by those in Religious Orders. It is made to go over the “scapula” or shoulders. The Scapular that lay people wear is a modified version of this full length, front and back, piece of cloth. While wearing a scapular medal on a bracelet could be a beneficial devotional, I do not know whether it would fulfill the requirement of Our Lady.
You can learn the history of the use of scapulars at:

The Brown Scapular must be worn around the neck. You are allowed to substitute a medal for the wool one. If you wish, I suppose you could wear the wool one around your neck and wear the medal as a bracelet, at the same time.
 
I wish it was easier to wear a scapular since its hard to keep it on both sides and it seems to me when wearing it that it gets more like a necklace with a tag on the back of the neck.
