Posture Corrector for Back Support: Adjustable Shoulder Posture Brace for Men and Women (Small/Medium)

I tried a different brand/type ... it was sort of ok. This one is sooooooooooo much better. The instant I put it on every day, I just have a calm relaxed feeling -- the pain goes away (for me). I especially like that band that wraps around my rib cage and anchors the brace. I purchased the black one and I have to admit that I get confused which way the straps are supposed to face. It's a bit difficult to see. It would be nice if they could print a little dot or design on the parts that are supposed to be outward facing. I think the trick might be for me to affix the straps before I remove it. Just occurred to me -- maybe I could use a white marker or sew something so that I can quickly assess if they are in the correct facing mode.Am I glad I purchased? Heck, yes!!

Bought this to correct posture, accountant shoulders, and relieve associated neck pain.I LOVE IT!!! best $22. 95 I've ever spent!I bought the Lg/Xl, and it's perfect for me At 5'5" 150 lbs.I had doubts, but it really does work, it is very adjustable, soft and comfortable.I can't believe the huge improvement in my posture with it on!

Summary: I’ve tried both (see below) and while neither completely relieved my upper back/shoulder pain they both did immediately help correct my posture. My preference is the simple brace for a few reasons. For me I have immediate posture correction even with a fairly loose setting. One reason I thought the chest band might be needed is that I thought with the simple brace that the shoulder band might pop off your shoulder if you move around too much. This hasn’t happened and the shoulder bands feel secure and I don’t worry about them slipping off my shoulder. I thought the extra chest band might make the overall brace more comfortable and provide additional support – distributing pressure, but so far I have absolutely no problem with just the simple brace. And finally, I prefer the simple brace because there is less material contacting your body – so less to make you feel constricted, less to make you feel hot and sweaty in warm weather. I think that continuing to do doctor recommended exercises and stretches is my best bet and these braces are good for correcting posture – as described but not everything that I had hoped for.I couldn’t decide which type would be best so I purchased 1 of each type. I very often get upper back pain/tightness between my shoulder blades. The type of pain that you try to relieve by pushing your shoulder blades back – like you are trying to get them to touch. But I always forget to stand or sit like this and end up with that upper back/neck pain. For me the most common situation where I get this pain (often within just a few minutes) is standing at a sink where I have to slightly bend forward to reach and wash items. I also tend to slouch or hunch my shoulders forward standing and sitting. I use both of these types of braces over a T-shirt to prevent and/or provide additional protection from chaffing (especially in armpits) that many complain of with any of these braces. Also it keeps them clean and they won’t get sweaty in warm weather.Here are the 2 I purchased:1)Simple bracehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTHHLGCF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareThis one is very simple. Simple packaging (comes in a vacuum sealed bag) and no instructions. In fact I wasn’t positive which side is the outward facing surface except that I wanted all of the seam edges outward facing so they don’t rub your skin. It was easy to put on and tighten. As soon as I put this on, even with a rather loose setting I noticed immediate posture correction. Just that slight tension has you standing straighter with your shoulders back versus hunched or slouched over. Felt perfectly comfortable. I didn’t need to tighten the bands very much at all as just wearing the brace provided enough support and/or reminder to keep my shoulders back.2)Has extra chest straphttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYMMVKZF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareThis one has the extra chest band. Came in an attractive boxed packaging with an easy to understand instruction pamphlet with descriptions and pictures. But once you unpack and start using you will likely never need to refer to instructions nor need the box again. Velcro seems much stronger than the brace #1 and the brace seems well made. It was easy to put on and use the velcro bands for chest and shoulder adjustment. Comfortable and I think that some will find the extra chest strap provides additional support.

I am dealing with severe back pain 6 months post partum. I’ve always had poor posture and lower back pain but with breast feeding and lifting baby my mid upper back, between my shoulder blades is in so much pain with no relief. I looked into a brace and this had great reviews - I looked into one yeas ago but they were all too loose for as I am 5 5 and petite. I’m now 130 lbs and wanted to try this as I’m desperate. It immediately provides support. Whether you’re sitting or standing it cradles your back to help you not hunch. I love that but it digs so horribly into the armpits. Sure you could wear a shirt under it but with breastfeeding I was hoping to use it like in the picture but it’s unbearable. This makes it unusable me essentially especially in summer. I’m going to keep trying since it fits and supports but the discomfort just at the armpit is brutal

This one is actually comfortable!! I've purchased others in the past and this one is the best thus far. It's good quality, soft, and doesn't rub underneath the arms like others do. It helps correct my posture, so hopefully I can get rid of my back pain.

Got it for wife. She said it fit her small frame well

it's very helpful to remind you to stand straight but it doesn't hurt

Good quality material. It’s very easily adjustable. This helps with my shoulder and upper back pain and posture. I like how the second smaller straps at the waist are adjustable. The material at the shoulders bunches up and can be uncomfortable at times. Overall good value for the money spent. U dude the washability if this item as I haven’t used it much..
