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

It's a nice back brace. I've owned it for about a year now. I got it initially to help with my posture (a hump is starting to form, and it's making me depressed). It's very comfortable and fits well when adjusted correctly. Even when my shoulder simply causes me pain, this usually pulls in just the right areas to relieve tension. I really do believe that when used twice a day, every day, it will fix someone's posture/humpback. Unfortunately, for me, the stress of my life at the moment has made me lose my streaks often, so I have not been able to maintain a consistent schedule for my brace. There was a point in my life, sometime last year, that I had a pretty good routine going. I would wear this brace for about 30 minutes to an hour in the morning, while just trying to wake up and get ready for the day. At night, I did my shoulder stretches and yoga and wore the brace immediately after doing so. I think that really helped keep my muscles where they should be, at least for a little while. If you're going to commit to something like this, then yes, absolutely do it. But don't expect results with half-assed measures. I'm going to try to get back on my regimen. I don't think it's quite too late for someone like me to correct my posture. (I'm a college student, by the way, so it's embarrassing for me personally to have such a bad stance.)

I can’t believe the difference this posture corrector made after just a few days! Not only is it comfortable and easy to wear, but I instantly felt more supported and confident. My back and shoulders feel lighter, and my posture looks so much better already. 💃 Truly a game-changer—ladies, if you’ve been thinking about getting one, don’t wait. This is hands down the best investment for your posture and confidence!

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

Defiinatrely, assists with my poor posture which I have had all of my life. Not all that comfortable in the Texas heat but it has helped with my thoracic region and abdominal muscles. Muscles were a little sore in the beginning as the proper muscles were forced to work properly. No regrets and the discomfort quickly dissipated. I'm challenged at times with getting placed on my body correctly, but this is me.....half of the times my clothes are on backwards or inside out.....since childhood. Bottom line? I recommend this item and handwashing's it and hang dry.

I've had shoulder pain for 4 years and had another brace that didn't help. This one stays in place doesn't rub underarms. It helped my shoulder pain and popped my rib back into place during the first use.

Very obviously being worn when wearing under a baggy tee shirt. It digs into your arm pits making it almost unbearable to wear. It cannot be machine washed. I will be returning. The person before me returned as well. Her old Amazon label was on my box.
