Well, in my experience reality checks never worked properly, so I seldom ever used them, and don't do now - they just fail too often, too bloody often did I push my finger through my palm in a dream and thought it was completely normal.
When I first started out with LD'ing, however, I was able to get numerous LD's consecutively for a week at a time; I thought I was a natural, and maybe I am, but something happened about half a year ago that made me think about what happened.
Basically, I gave up on LD'ing for a few long months and when I tried to get back into it, I couldn't get any, even after a couple weeks of trying and frustration. I asked myself, what did I do earlier that I am not doing now? Everything seemed the same. Same diet, same habits, lifestyle, no particular technique. And then I stumbled across the technique ADA, posted by KingYoshi.
(Dunno if link works, I can't do this kind of technicality ) http://www.dreamviews.com/f49/all-da...gyoshi-113253/
Once I read that, I realised that this is exactly what I had been doing before that made me have tons of lucids. I did this technique without even knowing it was a proper technique, and was surprised to see a tutorial on it. Primarily, what it is is being aware of what's happening around you at all times, paying attention to the little things, and the surreality of real life. Really easy to do, to be honest, and although I think it takes more time than reality checks, you can fully enjoy doing it.
So, best of luck with your efforts, and I really hope this technique works for you every bit as well as it did for me
