Sure....the cloth or medal merely remind us of the person depicted
The whole thing is a lie and a false teaching of Rome.
Nope.
10. How must I wear the Scapular in order to receive its benefits?
You must wear it over the shoulder so that one part hangs over your chest and the other side hangs over the back. Both parts cannot be carried in the front or the back, otherwise, the wearer runs the risk of not receiving the promise.
18. Must I always wear the Scapular or may I take it off?
In order to receive the promise, the Scapular must always be worn. We must understand that by wearing the Scapular we show our consecration and devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Our Blessed Mother cannot be pleased in any one who out of vanity or fear takes it off whenever it is not convenient to wear it. By wearing it we make an open profession of our faith, confidence, and love of Her.
So I must assume that you've tried it and it didn't work for you....
