ComfyBrace Posture Corrector-Back Brace for Men and Women- Fully Adjustable Straightener for Mid, Upper Spine Support- Neck, Shoulder, Clavicle and Back Pain Relief-Breathable

I read another review that said this brace was wishful thinking. For me, I would have to agree. I have lower, middle, and upper back issues. Mostly muscular issues, which are starting to affect my spine and change my posture. It is up to me to stretch, do yoga, and stay active to keep my muscles intact. However, I mostly work sitting and standing at my desk. Every day I live with pain. This brace only supports the upper back posture, and I find myself constantly readjusting. Not for the sake of correcting my posture, but for the sake of keeping it in place and in the correct position. The readjusting is uncomfortable and the stapes seem like they are too tight under the arms. Sweating is also an issue. I do not sweat heavily unless I am in 90 plus degrees Farenheit or doing heavy physical labor. However, this product causes me to sweat enough to create circles in my dress shirts. Even after applying fresh deodorant or wearing antiperspirant the entire day. It literally affects my body chemistry. For $20 it is a good product. Thats why I gave it Three Stars. However, for my needs, it does not get the job done. I have already ordered another brand that completely supports my spine. I will review that one soon. Currently debating whether I should send this one back. I dont need more items I do not or will not use.

Chaffs... Pressed on arm nerve

I only wore it twice its a little hard to take off

I am 86 and was slouching badly. I thought that if I didnt take some action now, it would be permanent and would hamper my breathing. I was wearing it too long at first and my shoulders hurt. I slowly broke it in and am very happy with the results. I am standing up straighter even when I dont have it on. I can now wear it all day long. I even wear it to the gym. Be sure to loosen the straps a lot. It makes it easier to put on and take off. Even when I dont have it on, I no longer slouch.

Great support and helps my posture!!

It was a gift to my daughter, and she is still using it. She likes it.

I am about 12 weeks pregnant and a young 26 who has always had a problem with posture. I know that as I progress in my pregnancy I will get someone called lordosis which is when your lower back sticks out, common in pregnant women and pushing that gut forward. I knew I had to do something about the possible hunchback, got clearance from doctor and I bought this. I put it on and I felt my back get straighter, I know I will probably have to take it off when I get bigger, but if need be Ill put it back on once baby is born. The only thing wrong is it digs into the armpit to a somewhat uncomfortable level. I hope there is a way to fix that. Other than that it is a good product. I wish I bought this sooner. But, arrogance.

I havent tried the brace. I bought it before I talked to my Physical Therapy doctor. And when I talked with the doctor, he made it clear that this brace will make me dependent on the brace, rather than strengthening my own muscles so I dont need a brace. The manufacturer tells us as much in their product description. Paraphrasing: You can start with a few minutes a day and then after a short time you can wear it all the time. Thats just another way of saying that after a short time, you get used to the benefit of wearing it, and you no longer need your muscles to do what theyre supposed to be doing. A better solution is to work with your doctor or physical therapist to strengthen your own muscles to correct your posture.

Bought a new pillow, didnt work. Bought a massager, works, but not for long. Bought this to assist in my poor posture from sitting at a computer most the day to see if this would help. I have worn it for about 2 hours a day for two weeks now. I love it! My neck and shoulder pain have eased so much as my muscles go back to the proper positioning. My neck and shoulders are less stressed and no more tension. I find myself walking straight and tall when I go by a window or mirror. My wife and and coworkers mention how straight I sit now. Well worth the purchase.

Brace works great for my needs based on how Ive been using it so far. I use it as a tool to posture check myself. It has lead me to a better posture, relief of pain and is a good physical reminder not to strain myself so it works as an injury prevention in my case. I have chronic back pain but never saw anyone for it until the event that cause me to also purchase this corrector: I threw out my back playing with son and was walking around hunched over, embarrassing my wife. I felt my 30+ years of bad posture had something to attribute to the premature weakening that lead me to the pain to make the purchase but all I knew was I needed to buy a posture corrector that could be there next day. I was up late when I made the order after giving up trying to sleep from being in so much pain. I chose to buy the Comfy Brace over other brands for several reasons. When searching braces on Amazon, there are currently being promoted as a sponsored result. I tend to window shop with every purchase I make, even when in pain. Other brands had designs that I wouldnt want to wear out to the park so I ruled them out but I liked the subtleness of the comfybrace logo. Touching it now that I have it, I have to note that its not just a tag cheaply glued on. The logo on the spine is a nice 3D rubber/silicone slab stitched into the brace material in a symmetry that even my OCD is pleased to witness. I ruled out other braces as options because of the tightening mechanism. I have to deal with those buckles enough with my sons diaper bags and car seats so I knew the velcro that comfybrace used would be easy. Having now used it I can ensure anyone that the velcro is very strong and will hold back any slouching attempts with extreme resistance if thats how tight its set. The velcro feels like a softer kind designed for customer hands and is stitched in nicely with the other materials. The straps also have matching tabs that are the same great quality as the logo on the spine. This extra effort in the label actually makes it feel even more like a quality item. Anyway, after deciding to go with comfybrace and getting it the next day I was immediately glad I bought their brace. I knew about these years ago and instantly regretted not getting one when I first learned about them. I am a believer that I would not have been injured so easily if I had been using this as a prevention/repair already. I wore it while my back healed and I stand up straighter than I have in years. Its caused me to straighten my neck and lift my head up and given me confidence. Im not saying its magic, but just like with diet and exercise this helped me get through the physical pain of hurting my back and also the emotional pain of knowing Im getting old. I need to wear as a posture check still but its made me more aware of my body and has worked great for me in addition to changing habits. I like to think of it like a shock collar, its a tool to get a result but its not going to fix my back alone.
