Posture Corrector for Women and Men, Adjustable Upper Back Brace for Posture Hunchback Support and Providing Pain Relief from Neck, Shoulder, and Upper Back (Small/Medium)

I've never tried a posture corrector before, so I researched a bit and decided to give this one a go. Now that I really want to correct my posture, trying to check myself all day long to remember to stand up and sit up straight just isn't working, and my posture has been so bad that my body doesn't even really know what good posture feels like. This product does a great job of moving me into standing and sitting straighter and is great as a reminder not to slouch. While wearing it, I can still slouch a bit, but the corrector makes doing so a bit uncomfortable on the shoulders. Consequently, I know immediately that I have to adjust and straighten my body up. I never realized how much better my back would feel when standing and sitting properly to take the muscle and spinal strain of slouching away. However, if you're slouching because your back muscles are weak, be prepared for your back to feel a bit tired after wearing it because you're essentially giving those muscles a workout as they get stronger and get used to holding you in the new position. The material of this corrector is soft and comfortable, but there are shoulder attachments included if you need extra cushioning there. It seems to be well made and looks like it will be durable but I haven't had mine for long enough to know how well it holds up long term. The velcro is really grippy which is great for making fit adjustments. The back design of this corrector seems to have been well thought out - there's enough surface area to be well bracing, and the criss cross part sits low and between the shoulder blades instead of up higher and onto the cervical spine. Thus in addition to holding the shoulders back, the corrector gives great support to the thoracic spine. With regard to sizing, I am 5'2" and 155 pounds and the barrel of my chest measures 34". According to the chart I need the small/medium, so that's what I got. The straps come around my chest and attach so that there is only a little bit of overlap, and the shoulder pieces don't come any further than my sides. Stretching any of that so any of the bands overlap to the extent shown in the product pictures just isn't going to happen. I don't need it any tighter, but if you want a bit more wiggle room to make this bigger or smaller, then going to the next size up might be better.

See I got this & a back brace better than the "medical one" my insurance overpaid for. The purpose of my getting this shoulders back brace was I have degenerative disc disease among other issues, & 3 herniated discs that lean on the sciatica nerve & cause extreme pain-- a gift from my (abusive ex husband). I just 2 weeks ago found out I hv osteoporosis to go with my rheumatoid arthritis. So as I have been doing something I usually don't do but hv been due to pain (sloughing) upon finding out I have osteoporosis ( better known as bone erosion) & trust me on this when u find out you have this you need 2 be even more vigilant on your posture & taking care of every step you take as your bones depending on the level (mine is -3.8) are more hollow & easy to break already had 2 breaks & I'm not even 55 yet. I bought this & didn't expect much but I liked the construction online the design & function as well as people who had bought it were doing well w it. I liked the color. Here's a thought maybe pink one day? Just a thought. But it fits very well I like the way it is structured not bulky but skin yet very snug & hold your shoulders & spine back. After wearing it & yes I DID sleep in it I am starting to when not wearing it catch myself not holding my shoulders back & I automatically hold my abdominal muscles in & stand up straighter. So for me along with an excellent back brace (another company) the point is I feel very confident comfortable & less likely to shuffle. Remember: NOT A FDA MEDICAL device but it's darn near close in my opinion.Thanks for taking the time & dedication towards creating this item that I cam even wear under my clothes (the bonus it doesn't show!)

I purchased the posture corrector from SHAPERKY about a month ago and have been using it daily to help with slouching that I have had for decades at this point, which however was worsened by a back injury. After a month of usage, I feel fairly comfortable speaking to it's pros and cons (of which there are none that I can list)!To start off - the material and design. The item is definitely unisex and fits comfortably regardless of gender. The material is high quality, the stitching and elasticity is spot on and provides a comfortable, yet firm posture correction that I find has exceeded my expectations, when compared to other sellers on Amazon. The color looks great and is not see-through with clothing. It is delicate and does not cause any skin sensitivity. I don’t even sweat with it on. Most importantly, the item certainly shows a lot of craftsmanship and detail, as again mentioned in the stitching quality, material quality - it is surprisingly good based solely on the cost. I am very satisfied with it and feel that I got my money’s worth with the purchase, in addition to being sure it will last a long time!As with any product of this nature, it takes some time getting used to simply because your back is not familiar with being straight with its natural curvature - but that just means that it is working!! I am certain that I am seeing profound benefits from the item thus far.I absolutely love it and from my experience, this one is by far the best that I have tried over the years. Will definitely be buying more in the future from SHAPERKY and am very pleased with my purchase! 100% recommend this item for anyone seeking posture correction and help with your back pain!!

The size cart is way off. I am 5 ft tall and weigh 130. The chart said I needed a small/medium. It was way too little. Barely overlapped about 1/2 inch. not close to my size. I wanted to replace it with the LG/EXLG. I went to the site and ask how much bigger it was, and it would only tell me to see the chart. The chart is wrong. Now I am afraid to place the order.
