Estimated Duration: 14 days

Getting accustomed to an ICE ankle monitor typically takes 1-2 weeks as your body adapts to the physical presence and weight of the device. During this period, you may experience initial discomfort, but it usually subsides as you develop a routine. Wearing loose clothing, keeping the area clean, and avoiding excessive moisture can help speed up the adjustment process. The psychological adjustment may take longer depending on individual circumstances, but physical adaptation is generally quick. Consistent wear without tampering or attempting to remove the monitor is crucial for compliance and avoiding legal consequences.
