Posture Corrector

I was hoping this would not only help me from slouching but also help with upper back and shoulder issues. It might be that this one-size-fits-all doesn't fit my body: women's size L on top and moderately broad shoulders. I adjusted it as much as possible. I used it for short periods, trying to build up. Every time, my upper back was feeling good until I put it on, and after a few minutes I could feel the muscle spasms start and my upper spine pull out of alignment.It worked for lots of people according to the reviews, so it was worth a try.For me, it's going back to Amazon. Glad for the easy returns, at least.

This brace is an excellent way to minimize low back pain. By correcting my posture, I get the support I want and need to stand straight with my shoulders back. In doing that, my head and neck are supported! It's a win win win! As I've gotten older, I notice the 'advancing age slouch' and it's unattractive. For me, being slouched makes me psychologically think of being older. Having the brace on, not only relieves most of my back pain, but also boosts my confidence! The insert is clear and concise. When and how to wear it is obviously written by someone with medical knowledge because the suggestion to limit wearing it for 1 hour the first 2-4 days makes sense; too much too soon may cause discomfort elsewhere, so it makes sense. It's kind of a training brace...after a few days of wearing it, once I take it off my body responds to the positioning because it's so much more comfortable! I've lived an active life and 'earned' my aches and pains, but in addition to the brace I also use medication/topical gels, but not as frequently as before I had the brace.

I've had this posture brace about 10 days. It does everything it says it will do, and I'm very happy with it so far. In particular, I don't have the best posture, and this thing has really helped align my shoulders and neck properly. Just a couple of tips based on my experience: 1) Make sure that the circular "piece" on the back strap which fits between your shoulder blades is correctly centered between your shoulder blades. For small to medium-frame people, there's a tendency when tightening the front straps to cinch everything too high up on the shoulders. If this happens to you, don't be afraid to hook your thumbs under the shoulder straps and pull the whole thing lower down on your back. If the circular piece I mentioned is riding too high up on your back, it won't brace you properly. 2) Do follow the manufacturers directions about wearing it for only 1-2 hours when you first start using it. The key to getting the most benefit out of this thing is not how many hours a day you wear it, it's wearing it consistently on a daily basis for a reasonable length of time. As time goes on, you can certainly wear it longer, but don't fall into the "If one hour is good, five hours will be even better" kind of mindset, or you're gonna be hurting. Be patient, and after a few days you will notice a real improvement in your posture when you're not wearing it. Also, as the directions advise, don't wear it when sleeping, driving, or any time you need to move freely about. I wouldn't wear it doing yard work, cleaning around the house, exercising, etc.

I read the reviews of a bunch of people and thought that this great brace for me. It came with a small sheet of paper with directions for adjusting and washing. On it there is a picture of a man and women and a child about 11 years old wearing this brace. First, there is no way this will fit a man and a small child. I wear a size 8-10 and am basically swimming in this thing.

Although it seemed like this would be the answer, unfortunately it’s too small and uncomfortable for me I’ve got wide shoulders and as much as I tried to adjust it, I still was unable to get it to feel right for me. I’m sure it would work great for smaller people. So I’ll be returning it in regrets, thank you though. On the positive side it’s really well made and I’m sure it’ll work on a smaller person than myself.

It seems to work fine, but there's no way this can be worn underneath anything for someone with a small frame and fitted clothing. It's something you can wear around the house, it if you aren't trying to hide it.I'm still determining if it actually works.

Doesn’t fit me well , feel very uncomfortable when I wear it , I can’t keep wearing it for an hour , order another one from different seller and fitted way much better. Not recommended!

It does ride up on your back, making it push against the back of one's neck and at the same time not helping wih upper back posture
