    why would there be any halachos about them? There is nothing wrong with them. Also, if you cover your collarbone (and based on this post, you are worried about them touching your skin), then there should not be a problem with that.

    I have one and I know a number of girls who wear theirs all the time in the bathroom with no problem (I love how lately coffee room has been talking about teenage girl- visiting E”Y status symbols!) There are so many girls that wear them that I am pretty sure rabbis would say something if your could not wear them in the bathroom. Plus, they never spell out the actual letters of HaKodosh Baruch Hu’s name.

    I got mine when I was in Israel two summers ago. I have a pasuk on it. I only wore it twice since I got it. I don’t even remember the pasuk on it. My advice to you is to pick something you will be able to translate and remember.

    its actually a bigger problem than most ppl think. even if you write ‘hey’ or ‘daled’ for Hashem or ‘elokim’ with a ‘kuf’ its still a problem. consult with a raabi before writing a pasuk. one whos familiar with the problem.

    and snowbunny even though everyone does it doesnt mean its right. my rabbi never said anything about it but when i asked him he said its a big problem and he cant necc blame the stores but ppl are being choteh like that.
