[@airinmccanntaireachd]

I wear it on my left wrist cause it is more visible, and that helps me reflect and think of Our Lady, cause I look at it more often. Is that ok too? :0 or does it have to be worn in the neck?

Needed this clarification! Some resources on the scapular don't sound this reasonable and created a sense of scrupulosity in me.

The Brown Scapular must be made of woven wool of a Carmelite Colour. Measuring two inches by two and three quarter inches. Carmelite colours are either brown or black. The straps can be of any fabric. And it is compulsory to be enrolled. In addition the words of the enrollment must be correct. This was presented to Pope Leo 13 by the Sacred Congregation of cardinals who upon discovering that their was confusion over the design, material and size of the scapular, made recommendations for design, fabric and size, to the Pope who gave it his approval and blessing.

Like he said in the video, a scapular is a sacramental, a way to encourage our faith. We do not place our hope for our salvation in an object, but in Christ and His church. Wearing a small scapular was not common among Christian laity until relatively recently. If you have anxiety and worries, pray about it, and speak to your priest.
