Heart rate sensor irritates skin

Hi, my 965 HR sensor irritates my skin if I wear it all day. I wear it loosely and switch wrists but I can only wear it about 7 or 8 hours each day. I wash the watch every day and after each use but the irritation continues. Has anyone found a cover that allows the sensor to work but acts as a layer between the watch and skin?

Thanks.
