ipow Adjustable Unisex Shoulder Support Brace Strap Fits Left or Right Shoulder Helps Shoulder Stability - S

i purchased this shoulder brace due to a rotary cuff tear which has been a problem for some time but now needs surgery and whilst waiting for my appointment for the hospital i started to wear it i immediately had some relief from pain and after a few days of wearing and taking it easy with the arm found it extremely helpful and would highly recommend for anyone with this type of problem, it is easy to put on and reasonably comfortable to wear great product and value.

I brought this product for my husband to see if it could help with his Arthritic Shoulders, which are painful. We didn't expect too much from this product. However my husband says it really helps, supports his shoulder helps to relieve the pain. The product has adjustment via the velcro straps. Good product good price.

Note: review for large size bought as advised by sizes in description, with an edit at the end for a medium sizeHave recently bought 3 different makes of shoulder braces, various prices, kept this one because of best fit and support (see rest of review) and had to send the other two (blue, more expensive) back because of poor fit/support on shoulder and hard velcro digging into the skin. Plus this brace was the only one of the three that gave option of adjusting the brace at the back as well as the front strap to enable the shoulder compression and support to be pulled back slightly instead of slumping forward - unlike the ones with only front fastening options.It is also, of the three braces I bought, the cheapest and best value for money.I am wearing this brace to hold my shoulder in position at night to help reduce this, and to my great delight the pain relief has been noticeable.(My reason for wearing it at night is as follows: I have recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my shoulder (inflammation trapping nerves, causing pain and numbness down my arm as well) and have not had a full night's sleep in over 6 months because of the pain when my shoulder moved forward, which causes me to awaken in absolute agony, almost in tears. Steroid injection doesn't appear to be working very well.)Back to the review, I got the large (being a large chested lady) but I am thinking of buying a medium as well - there was a very generous amount of material on the strap and I think I may be able to use the medium and still fasten the brace without it being too small.Worn over a light t shirt, I didn't use it with the strap going under my arm (too uncomfortable for me with my large chest) as shown in the photos, I applied it going under the boob and then up between the boobs (I appreciate this option isn't available for those without actual breasts/boobies 😁). This was actually quite comfortable for me, and if I had to wear it during the day whilst wearing a bra (which I tried for the first few days) it's even more comfortable. Actually gave the look of a "lifting and separating" bra 🤣. This way of wearing it had the benefit of improving the fit of the brace and slightly increasing the compression on my shoulder, which was actually quite helpful.Under a jumper/hoodie or cardigan, no one needs know you are wearing it because it's not that obvious.The extra patch on the shoulder can be used to either increase compression on the shoulder and/or hold a heat/cold gel pack in place if desired. I personally found the neoprene generated warmth to my joint - have to say that I am not sure how comfortable that will be if the weather's very warm and you need to wear it.It does have that neoprene smell when you first use it. But I know from experience that smell will diminish with use (hubby does scuba diving so he has a diving suit and neoprene gloves). Most, if not all, of these braces appear to be made of neoprene so I don't think you can avoid that smell - sorry.Overall, I am happy with my purchase, value for money and very happy that it proved to be so helpful in providing relief for my shoulder/arm and improving my quality of sleep after so long.Edit: have since bought the medium one, same size on the arm but much smaller on the strap. This means I can wear it with the same support on the shoulder without having to draw the strap as shown in the photos. Probably much more preferable for some.

Got this to try and help with a shoulder injury from exercise, but does not really help due to lack of support and compression. Tried adjusting numerous times but seems that due to poor design this is simply not really fit for purpose.The only positives that I could say is that it is relatively comfortable if put on over a shirt (but not on bare skin) and fairly easy to put on and adjust.Negatives though make the above moot as does not provide sufficient support, compression or shape to be of any useful effectiveness. Would not recommend this or anything of similar flawed design. Would suggest avoiding this and looking for something of better quality that will provide more effective support.

Really worth the money ,super product . Well made . Comfortable . Easy to adjust . Wash able . Has a part for heat or ice packs . Can wear on both left and right shoulder . Comfort is great ,can wear all day without it riding or slipping . Fantastic support . I wore it for 2 weeks with a rotory cuff tear. Finally some pain free days . Since I have been wearing it to bed ,I've had no pain and have cut down on steroids injections to cure the pain . Highly recommended . Great product great quality for price

I liked the fact this could be adjusted ad I had rotator cuff surgery and was required to focus the support. Very comfy and able to wear all day. This is the second should3r strap I have purchased both different suppliers and this one is the best.

Wasn’t sure how this would work on a women but it’s excellent, offers me pain relief and is a huge benefit to me

Bought this to support injured rotator cuff on left arm ad states can be used for left or right however this is not technically true, yes you can wear it on both however if you wear on your left you need someone else to put it on for you as the strap is on your back not chest which is very annoying and you can't do it yourself. The packaging packaging states right arm so misleading.
