Magnetic Back and Shoulder Support

I purchase women's clothing in the XL-1X range. Not finding sizing information, I purchased the support in an XL which is too large. Not a problem for me because I can adapt the strap to fit but you might want to be aware there is a difference. The support is constructed mostly of plastic which causes me to perspire and yes it does tend to dig into the shoulders. I plan to wear it over an undershirt during the cool weather because the undershirt takes care of both issues. It does give wonderful support and I absolutely cannot beat the price even when shipping is included in the total. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I can't wear the support against my bare skin as shown in the picture. I need these particular devices and am pleased with this one.

It says in the description that it fits a 30-37.5" chest. I measure 31" right under the chest where the straps fit around your body, and it doesn't even come close to fitting. The straps are way too big! I would have to be at least 41" for me to be able to use the Velcro. At least I know how to sew, so I can add Velcro to make this fit, or I can just tie the straps while I'm around the house but the description is very misleading. The straps that go around the shoulders are very thin and dig into your skin, even with a shirt on, and make this very uncomfortable to wear after 10 minutes. I will probably sew on some padding to make this bearable. It does make it easier to sit up straight when you are wearing it, but I can only stand it for a few minutes at a time and right now I'm just not using the chest strap.

It was not as the picture showed. It was also smaller.Did not return as it was not worth the trouble versus the cost of the product.I will give it away to the non-profit groups that come.

I've been wearing this support for about an hour now and my back feels great! Of course, I did have some issues putting in on (broad shoulders) and a small portion tore (can be sewn back together) but it's a great item for the cost! I have noticed that it does pinch and dig a little around the underarms, but it's only a minor annoyance to deal with overall. If you have the money to get a more comfortable support, go for it! But if you're on a budget (like me), I'd highly recommend this!

Shipping was a month. The shoulder support was just elastic that rubs your armpits raw. Didn't hold my shoulders back at all unless I did it myself. Even when I wore a shirt under it, it would still rubbed me wrong and now I have the "rug burns" to show for trying to fix my posture... Unless you're really determined to "save money" and not care about your armpits I won't recommend anyone to this product.. Great price though!

i gave it 3 stars because its what you get for the money.i sit at a computer all day in business professional work place and i was looking for something i could easily put under my clothes.this is not at all comfortable to the naked skin, you should wear a shirt under it because it will chap your underarms, also not good for hot texas weather the material the back is made from doesnt breath.the majority of the support comes from the velcrow around your mid-driff.i give it three stars because it does offer some support but doesnt do what the picture depicts by any means. i have just had to become more aware of my posture.

The best that I can say is they were prompt in returning my money. Not well made at all and a previously-worn and ripped unit was shipped USPS in an inverted UPS bag...all the alarms went off. I recommend further shopping - pay the extra money and get a good one from a reputable vendor.rlw

I should have listened....so many reviews said how large this was but I thought, well gee I am not a petite woman I will be fine with this. Nope! It is fine across the back, however, the strap to go around your waist is huge. I was almost wondering if it was supposed to go around 2x's? It comes without any instructions as to how to wear it properly so you kind of guess.
