Muscle Memory
I’ve had a bad posture of years and have done exercises (not regularly) to try and improve it. I don’t have any back problems yet but a bad posture now will lead to bad back in the future and that’s not what I want which is why I tried this.I was going to buy an electronic posture corrector where it will buzz when you’re back is not straight but they’re like £69 and not guaranteed to work so decided against it.I’ve had it and worn it for a couple weeks now. Mainly in the office. Initially I wore it on the outside in case it got too uncomfortable I could take it off but it wasn’t too bad so left it all day. As a result my colleagues started calling me Iron man or X-men (due to the strap at the back looking somewhat like a prop from a movie).When sitting down during the first few days I always found myself slouching as usual. It doesn’t automaticallly fix your posture. When walking however, I realised my back was very straight.It was a constant reminder to stop my slouching so i’d spend more time with a straighter back.One day, I forgot to wear it and realised myself automatically straightening my back way more frequently. I now wear it under a jumper or on top of underwear when I’m out and about and no one realises and I can’t even see it.This product doesn’t work overnight. You need to constantly wear it and what it does it starts to use the muscles that keep your correct posture so it grows and then keeping a back straight will become less difficult and tiresome.I hope by the end of the month it’ll show more improvements. It’s not uncomfortable to wear per se, but it’s not comfortable either. You will realise it the first week but you get used to it. Small cost to pay for a correct posture and less back pain in the future.

Comfortable and does what it is supposed to do
I had about a half a dozen different posture correctors since my childhood. Scoliosis runs in my family and parents watched my posture religiously. All previous ones had some kind of issue with them. This one is very comfy, because of its wide stripes on shoulders. You can regulate the tightness and the size with the velcro strip on your mid-rift. It doesn’t cause discomfort in the armpit area if you put it according to the instructions. I wear it under my jumper to work(office sitting job) and also to the gym. So far I am happy. Just warning. Don’t wear it for too long since you don’t want to weaken your muscles! I would definitely recommend it.

Very impressed
Bought this back brace for my 15 year old son who has begun to slouch his shoulders. He plays a lot of computer games and I feel this is the reason for his poor posture. After wearing it for a few hours a day for a couple of weeks I can see a real difference and he is standing straighter and taller now even when he is not wearing it. He says it is comfortable to wear and agrees it has made a difference very quickly. Would recommend.

It seems to do its job!
I have always known my posture is bad but recently I started suffering neck pain so I decided I had to do something about it. My priority was a neck brace so I ordered one of the more expensive ones, and found that the manufacturer also had harnesses like this one. Looking at it I was dubious that it would work, so I looked around for one of the cheapest versions so that if I found it didn't help much then I could more easily write off the cost. This is the one I chose.Initially I though I should have bought the XL, but that's because I didn't know how to wear it properly. Once I remembered that the point of it is to pull back my shoulders, I pulled down on the upper straps and the forward with the lower straps and then there was much more of the strap at the front to secure with the velcro. Indeed size L is correct for my 33" waist (on a good day).Having had it for 4 weeks I am still a bit surprised that it does work quite well. I know fully that to truly correct my posture it is my mind which needs to change. I need to form a habit of standing up straight. But this harness and my neck brace certainly help and already my neck pain is reduced in intensity and frequency. I also find that when I am not wearing one or both, my posture is better, although I think it will be months or more before I can avoid slumping back to a bad posture without them. Hopefully i will get some sort of "muscle memory" for better posture one day.I do have two criticisms:1) After only about a week I noticed a thread was coming loose where one of the straps was secured to the plastic bit. I decided to fix this with a stapler which worked well.2) The straps do dig in at my armpits. The supplier should consider paying a bit extra for the option of some wrap-around pads which can be added to the straps to help with this problem. In hindsight I would have paid more for a harness which had such pads.Overall this is good value for money and it does seem to work.

Very uncomfortable, too short in the back
I am of average height (5 foot 8) and my waist was exactly in the middle of the size bracket. The solid part of the support which runs down your back simply ended really high up for me, so that the back support dug into my ribs and the straps really cut into the tops of my arms. I persisted in wearing it, thinking it would improve, but it got so sore that I had to take it off after about 15 minutes.I then got a small, slimmer member of the household to try it and they had exactly the same issue. So I think a defect in how it is made. Wouldn't recommend for that reason.Aesthetically, the colours are very nice and the material of the support also feels nice, but it just didn't fit well.

Definitely helped me.
Can't believe how much this helps me, once I worked out that my severe headaches and teeth grinding were linked to my bad posture I bought this to try and help and I wear it for as long as I'm still comfortable so around 4-6hours a day before it starts to hurt under my armpits. And honestly it has relieved me of those terrible headaches and teeth grinding and now after a few weeks wearing it on and off when I remember, I dont get the headaches anymore also I notice when I'm slouching and correct it myself even when I'm not wearing it.
