Dr. Arthritis Doctor Developed Posture Support/Posture Correct/Stabilizer/Back Brace & Handbook - Fully Adjustable for Upper & Lower Back Pain. Suitable for Men & Women (Black, M)

This is a nifty little gadget. From the first day I wore it, I felt an immediate difference. I wore the support brace for a few hours and when I took it off, the first time my shoulders slumped, I FELT it! It made me hyper aware of the discomfort and alerted me to stand straighter. I have a slight stenosis in my spine and terrible posture so I’m really hoping that consistent use of this will train my muscles to stand straighter and help support my back, along with some strength training. The only downside is more user error. I think I got a size too big. I did measure it based on the chart but it’s quite possible I measured wrong as I did it on myself. I think I could have afforded to go smaller in order to get a more snug fit. That said, I’m really enjoying using this and look forward to seeing what kind of progress I will make with it.

The straps that go under your arm needs something on the edges as it cuts into your skin. Outside of that, it works well

I've had this for about 3 weeks now and my overall feel for this product is that it's nice to wear during the workday as I work at home all day, but I don't think I'd wear this to work or under my shirt. I wear this while I work during the day and it's an excellent reminder to not lean forward to type--just scoot closer to the desk then type. I think that aspect of wearing this product is very good. I give it 4 stars because on the other hand, it's decently comfortable and I tried wearing this under my shirt on a ~3 mile run and I didn't really feel support from it and it gave me a rash. I also wore this over my shirt on a 2 or 3 hour walk / hike with some friends, but I didn't really feel support from it yet again. So, overall I like this for working from home, but I would not wear this outside. Also, it kind of makes me want to get something heavier duty. So I like the concept of this product but I may like a heavier duty one rather than this one, but once again for working at home it's nice--but lacking comfort. I think I could wear this to the office but I wouldn't wear this under my shirt I'd wear two shirts and put it underneath the 2nd one.

Posture support rig looks great, sturdy material. Instructions are a joke (ridiculously tiny print, no useful photos or diagrams). Difficult to put on, impossible to adjust -- I tried twice, then tossed it in the "Goodwill" box. Back brace is somewhat better -- incomplete instructions, but not too difficult to figure it out via trial & error. Comfortable enough to sleep in, not sure how much weight I can carry while wearing it, though.

Okay, I'm not going to lie....my husband said, "What the heck are you wearing? You look crazy!" I also put it on upside down, while I was trying to figure it out, and then (after my husband laughed at me) realized it is actually really easy and you can tighten it yourself. Of course, if it is on correctly. Okay, okay...if I am on a virtual call it looks like I am an undercover police officer with my gun holster on. Although, if I am wearing black or a blazer no one is the wiser. Adjusting to an all-virtual setting for work I am sitting and typing for the majority of the day. Wearing this device has shown a notable difference in neck/shoulder/back pain; it is retraining my body to sit-up straight even when it isn't on.
