Best posture device on market
This is the one device that is base on the correct concept--bringing shoulders back and outward. The others simply don't work. Additionally, other devices are uncomfortable and hot.

You get excited about it - then annoyed that you paid that much for it!
At first, My wife was excited about wearing this. I went to put it on her and found that the main strap across the back was too long for her. I used duct tape to remedy this. No big deal, right?Well, it served more as a "reminder" that you need to have better posture. She's a teacher at school. You could not wear this thing bending down to pick up toys and books. I had to laugh at her trying to bend down and get things off the floor. Kind of looked like edward scissorhands trying to pick up paper off the ground.Real cute attempt at posture assistance, but severely overpriced.I will find another use for it if she doesn't use it. Probably a garbage can lid holder.

Very comfortable, not too durable
I used this item for 2 weeks and was the best posture brace I've ever used. This is a brace that doesn't make me feel I'm waring a bra and did wonders for my posture.The reason for the low rating is that it only lasted a week or so. Very bad quality. The problem is not really manufacturing quality (i think) but incorrect choice of materials. In some areas using leather or something as strong instead of neoprene would have gone a long way.Also, as a side note, I wasn't thrilled with the big plastic buckle to adjust the tension. They should really work on finding something more subtle that wears a little more flush under clothes.I think if they fix these 2 issues it would be a 5 star product, but too expensive to buy one every week :(

works well for maintaining good posture
But it impossible to put on without help. I tried it on my grandson (10yr) at the time, who has terrible posture. It's not adjustable enough, so we tried numerous method to keep it tight enough on him (including large paper clips). Overall, I'd recommend it for anyone with bad poster. It does work

**HORRIBLE**
Horrible for posture support.#1 The instructions are very hard to read, very vague, and hard to understand for a newbie#2 After watching several youtube videos about how to get on and wear properly - it still felt like something was wrong. The arm bands continued to "dig" into my arms when I slouched. It was extremely uncomfortable to wear even for a few minutes.#3 I am "floored" that someone from Shark Tank would actually take this product on and produce such a poorly engineered product.I am returning this product and will just find some posture correcting exercises on Youtube for free. Waste of money and time.

Works very well! Some of the negative reviews are baseless.
Works great! I disagree with some of the negative reviewers: you CAN drive while wearing this, you CAN put this on yourself, and if it is cutting off your circulation, you just need to loosen the bands around your arm until you find the right fit.I do agree with the sizing issues. The main issue is the sizing of the arm bands (that wrap around your biceps) rather than the adjustable strap across your back. I am 6'1" with skinny upper-arms. The XL works perfectly for me and there is plenty of arm strap material left to go tighter or loosen things up. I have a hunch the L wouldn't fit me as well, even with my skinny arms.Like any new product, there is a learning curve. It took me a while to find the right amount of "tightness" around my arms- trial and error about four days. I'm 36 years old, tall and skinny, and have always had bad, "skinny guy posture." Shoulders slumped in, upper back bent forward. This device doesn't pull you back and do the work for you, rather it reminds and trains you to stand and sit straight.It's simple: if you want to improve your posture, purchase this. If you don't like it, return it for a refund.

Uncomfortably life-changing
Saw this on Shark Tank. My boyfriend decided to give it a try. We ordered the large size, (he has very muscular arms) and it fit but barely. It took some getting used to, as it makes your arms very sweaty where the neoprene bands are. It was hard to figure out exactly where on the arms to place them and how much to adjust the back. After about a week of playing around with it, we figured out the positioning. It gently reminds him to stand up/sit up straight. The only complaint is that his arms get hot and sweaty. I would not reccommend this if you have very sensitive skin.

Does not last long
I loved this product from the beginning... it helped me feel great and has improved my overall posture. But the product does not hold up. I have been wearing it for about 30 minutes to one hour a day, nearly every day and after about 3 weeks of wear it started to come apart. Because I really like how improved I feel when I do wear it, I attempted to duck tape the areas that were pulling apart to repair them (really one should not have to do this after 3 weeks). This only sort of repairs the item. I will be trying out the straighten up one from Sky Mall next when the duck tape no longer holds it together anymore.. as it is the same concept, but hopefully will last longer, $39 is way to much money for an item that does not hold up when being used.
