Scapular dumb question

[katholicchik]

Hey, I’ve been wearing a brown scapular for years now. My question is dumb but thought I’d ask anyway. Is there some way to keep your scapular from being visible? It seems like I never notice anyone’s – but mine (the strings) shows even when I wear tee shirts. Is there a trick to this or a type or what? I feel like scotch taping it to my shoulders sometimes (not that I’m ashamed, I just feel overzealous or something). thanks…

Some saftey pin the back strings together so it doesn’t ride up the back and stick out of the shirt like a tag.

Can you wear it under a shirt? I have one, but don’t wear it because it’s so long (and I hate the feeling of anything around my neck–I don’t even wear necklaces or turtlenecks). But if it was tucked in, I wouldn’t notice it as much and might get used to it (but then I wondered if tucking it in would be disrespectful).

My scapular has a chain, which tends to stay in place better than scapulars with string.

As far as it being invisible from beneath clothing, this only happens during the winter months when I’m wearing heavier shirts.

Summer months with lighter shirts, its sometimes shows through and now and then I’ll have people asking about it.

I do wear it under my shirt to clarify It just sticks out from under around the neck no matter what type of top I wear. no matter what neckline.

Don’t they usually come in two types: One with brown string and one with white? You might try the one’s that have white strings.
