This brace pulls my shoulders back. It gently compresses my lower back which relieves strain and reminds me to keep my back straight. You can still bend against the brace, so if you want something really stiff, this is not it. Underworks provides great customer service. I ordered the wrong size, so I emailed and phoned Underworks directly (per Amazon's instructions). Underworks answered right away, changed the item size on the spot, and then processed the order, all without me having to cancel and resubmit order through Amazon.

I purchased this to relieve a burning pain in my upper back because of my poor posture. This product does help to hold your shoulders back and keep you in proper posture to alleviate the pain. Make sure you get the proper size. If you are unsure get the larger size. If this is too tight it will roll up and chafe your underarms.

I first had to exchange mine for a larger size (customer service is VERY helpful!), but it fits very comfortably, makes me sit up straight, and doesn't rub too much. Advice:women, wear it with a comfortable bra, or sports bra. I don't wear mine for a lot of activity, so make sure you get the size that is right. Too big is better than too small.

The product arm straps cut into the arm pit area leaving bruising and redness. The bottom tends to roll up and double over on itself.

I found this Underworks back supporter to be an excellent air to posture correction.
It is lightweight and comfortable to wear.

This product is very well constructed, but there is no way to adjust the overall length of the brace. If you are petite, you may get a good fit in the waist, but the posture trainer will not train because it is too loose! If you really still want this item, check the Underworks site directly (www.underworks.com) and see if shipping is less there (it was when I ordered).

I am still looking for a product that will assist with my posture correction. I suspect that I will need a posture correction device ONLY, without the added back support benefit.

Customer service for this garment is fine (not excellent as someone else mentioned) if you can get ahold of anyone at the Underworks Corporation. Their business hours are narrow.

I have an extremely small frame, I can buy shirts in the 'girls' section, but the small must be for a preteen girl.

MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A SHIRT WITH SLEEVES UNDER THIS! If you don't, your shoulders will be red and raw from chafing. Then, of course, the shirt with another shirt on top of it to hide the device, will make you way too hot! It does help posture somewhat, but more as a reminder. I guess there's no perfect posture aid, but this is more of a girdle, so you have to size "up" and then it's too big for your shoulders. ( didn't know that, and due to unnatural waist and abdomen compression, it caused heartburn). I only wore it once, and threw it into the drawer. Your abdomen will be uncomfortable no matter what. There's gotta be a better way!

After reading the other reviews, everyone said to order a size bigger than your regular size, and that was a mistake. I should have just ordered my regular size because one size bigger was too large for me. I really think your body type will determine how well this item will fit (or not). I have a more portioned body so my waist is smaller than bust and hips. And the extra size left too much space in my waist/stomach area. I tailored it with my sewing machine so it's fine now. Oh, and the shoulders are pretty comfortable.

Overall, it's a nice product if you buy the correct size for your body type. If you have a big stomach, maybe go up 1 size. If you have an average stomach, order your normal size. And if you have a small stomach, maybe go down 1 size.

I ordered this hoping to fix my posture in time for soccer season.

I was happy when I saw that it shipped the next day. I waited--2 weeks gone by before I finally decided to contact Underworks. I was frusterated, because it turns out that my brace hadn't shipped yet due to factory issues.

I got it 5 days later and was very disappointed. I thought that I'd be a small, but the reviews had convinced me to order a medium. Maybe this was the mistake. Whatever it was, the band that pulls the shoulders back was too long and the waist was too large. My posture looked exactly the same. I didn't want to bother getting a small in case it was the design and not the size, so I returned it.
The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because Underworks was very prompt and nice about this.
