Posture Corrector for Men & Women - USA Designed Upper Back Brace for Clavicle Support & Providing Pain Relief from Neck, Back & Shoulder(M,35"-39")

At first I did not think this product was working but I soon realized that I did not have the straps on tight enough around the arms. After tightening them I have come to love this product. If it is used correctly then you will see improvement in your posture. It helps to keep your back straight by pulling your shoulders back so they are not hunched forward. The soft foam along the spine helps with comfort as well. At first, the straps can irritate your under arms but after some time you will learn how to adjust it and get used to it.

Runs small, if you return, you pay $5.99 for UPS drop off. I am females, 5’1”, weigh 127 lbs. chest 36”. I wear size 12 or medium/large so it’s a toss up choosing the right size most of the time. I bought a medium and a a large. Medium too tight. Large fit fine. The strap the goes over the front of the shoulders is a bit uncomfortable. Since I see, I will probably make something to take care of this. I bought it to remind myself to keep my shoulders straight instead of slouching. It does help to remind but I also am doing physical therapy to strengthen my back and shoulder muscles to repair biceps tendinitis.

I was excited to try it and when I put it one it felt like it really did what it promised. I felt my posture straiten out and felt my shoulders being pulled back and back automatically aligned vertically. HOWEVER, as soon as I went about my daily business and began using my arms I was VERY uncomfortable. I am 5'6" tall and 135 lbs and I ordered a medium. I put it on exactly as stated in the directions. The strap goes right under your armpit and binds the tendon in my armpit every time I go to use my arms or hands. I left it on for two hours as I folded laundry and when I took it off my armpit was red and irritated. It works fine if you just keep your arms down to your side and don't intend to do anything while wearing it. I recommend spending more on one that is designed with some curve to the straps to avoid this issue. I'm now going to keep shopping for something comfortable as I intend to wear it daily. I'm thinking the other good reviews must be from heavier or obese people who's size avoids the strap from binding their armpits, as the straps will be more horizontal around their torso vs vertical in thinner people.

I am giving this five stars for the price point. I don't have much experience with posture corrector (this is my first one), but I do have a lot of experience with back pain and bad posture. When I first opened it, I was a little disappointed because it didn't look like much, but once I used it, I was much happier. I had no idea how much I slouched while at the computer. So fine, I was slouching less, but so what? Well, I realized over the next couple of days that my back hurts noticeably less than it used to. And it was pretty automatic. Once it was on, it did all the work.I will say that I wish it had come with written instructions. It was pretty easy to use, but I actually was wearing it wrong the first time I put it on. Still, with a minimal amount of fiddling, I was able to figure it out.

I have been struggling with trapezoid muscle pain on and off for months. I purchased this back brace to wear while working at my computer to help keep me from pulling my shoulders up and hunching over while typing. I am 5ft 2in and 144 lbs and purchased the size medium because I was on the border between the small and medium per the size chart. I might have been better off with a small because when I cinch the strap tight enough to pull my shoulders back it also pulls the middle back piece up higher on my back so it doesn't quite fit correctly. BUT the product does work in helping me with better posture while typing and has reduced my shoulder pain with intermittent wearing.

After having this item in my cart and debating for a while, I decided just to go for it. What was one more posture support? I really didn’t have too much expectation but hoped for the best anyway. All I can say is...incredible! There is no need for instructions on how to put it on. I took it right out of the box and put it on just like you would a garment..just slip your arms in and pull it together in the front. IMMEDIATELY after securing it in the front, my posture was, what I would consider, in the perfect position. I didn’t want to take it off; however, it does say start with one hour a day for two weeks. The next day, I wore it again, and it felt so weird having my back and shoulders aligned that I kept it on for two hours. Third try, I overwore it and realized there is a reason why they say wear it one hour a day for a time..my underarms were sore-that could have been aggravated by surgery many years ago- I did not wear it for two days and it felt amazing when I put it back on yesterday. I have had the worst posture for many years. It has led to back pain and hip and leg pain. I cannot believe what an improvement I have had just wearing it a few times. If it is coincidence, then let it be. I did try to wear it up against my skin, and it is not going to be comfortable doing that in the summertime, but I will not go without it even at this early date. Another plus is that not once did I have to pull up one of my bra straps. Sorry guys, I know these are not just for women. My husband tried it on, at my suggestion, and it just will not fit him at all. I did buy the large size because I measured between a medium and a large. I am of average height and 165 pounds and it is a most perfect fit with more room to tighten it if I need to and plenty of room to let it out, but it did not fit his average height, at almost 200 pounds. In truth, even though it has only been a few days, I really would like to buy another one just to have for backup! I am very surprised that they offer a lifetime, unlimited refund guarantee on this item. It must be their confidence in the quality. Sorry to be so long-winded. I Hope I can leave another review in a few weeks time. Thank you for carrying such a quality product Amazon.
