Customer Reviews of Underworks Posture Perfect Band
Customer Review: The band wants to crawl upwards to your neck...
Summary: 1 Stars
The arm straps are very tight and press hard upwards against your armpits. It feels like it's cutting off circulation to your arm. The material is also kind of rough so there's a burning feeling wherever there's pressure/contact. It leaves marks on your skin after wearing it for only a few minutes.
It's also very hard to wear it like the picture. The band wants to crawl upwards to your neck, which in turn would pull your neck down, and hurt your posture!
I'm just a average built guy, but I tend to slouch. So I think most people would experience the same difficulty with this as I did. The only reason I bought this was because I was intrigued after seeing it on a Sky Mall Catalog. I couldn't find any customer reviews for it, so I took a chance and bought one (for under $10). I guess the lesson is: you get what you pay for.
Customer Review: However.
Summary: 5 Stars
The brace did wonders for me! I have had back pain since I was 13, and this is the only product that finally gave me releif!
However... I can see why some people would have problems. It is far too uncomfortable to wear against your skin, I wear an undershirt beneath it. You cannot be lazy, while it is far easier to have good posture with this brace, you still have to make sure it is pulling your shoulders *back and not *up. I also noticed it riding up my neck, but it didn't bother me so much, my back still felt good.
Notice that the connector is a bra connector. My boyfriend didn't want to wear it because he thought people would think he was wearing a bra. I think some men might find this product embarrassing. Also, it's pretty small, and it wasn't even close to fitting him, and he's not that wide.
I had a very good experience, but this product is definitely not for everyone. I suppose a lot depends on what exactly is wrong with your posture. If you tend to arch your shoulders forward, like me, it's wonderful! But if you tend to slouch, it might not be so good.
Customer Review: Also...
Summary: 2 Stars
I think this is the kind of thing that is only effective in that, because you are aware that it is there, you may learn to keep your shoulders back. Why are you aware that it's there? Because it's uncomfortable!
Also, it rides up in back so that it ceases to be as effective as when you first put it on.
Customer Review: As small as it is...
Summary: 3 Stars
A cervical posture band is not meant to be totally comfortable. There has to be enough pressure to pull your shoulders back. But - even though I have narrow shoulders and even when it's a little loose - this one really cuts into my armpits if I wear it against my skin. Doesn't do any good if it's loose, of course. So I wear it over a tee shirt and it does help quite a bit. It even helps relieve my tension headaches! As small as it is, I doubt it would work for a large, or a muscular person. Even the more expensive one I used to have rode up on my back. Didn't seem to make any difference on how it worked.Customer Review: Overall- definately 5 stars.
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyday I wake up in pain, my neck, my back, my shoulders...everything aches..i am a secretary so i spend long hours sitting in front of a computer...it is so hard for me to hold my shoulders back al the time and constantly my neck cracks and gets stiff...so i decided to try this product...
The pros:
-It really does help hold your shoulders back
-You can sleep with it on and drive, etc.
the cons:
-before i got used to it, my armpits were a little tender
-also if you sweat at all during the day it gets on the brace because how it loops under your armpits, so you have to wash it often to get the deoderant, etc. off.
- it does ride up a little bit but whenever i first put it on after being washed it is tight and sturdy and stays right in place.
I suggest you buy several (like 3 or 4) so that you can wash them often. I used to wear it to bed but now i just wear it while at work and i take it off wheni get home so basically i wear it 8 hours a day.
It isn't really that visible through clothes however if you wear a shirt with a lower cut back and wide shoulders, you can see it peak through...ive gotten some odd looks before. You cant really reach up when this things on and u need to keep your arms pretty close against your body.
Overall- definately 5 stars.. my chiropractor recommended this because i have several posture problems due to my shoulders slouching forward. this product doesnt completely hold your shoulders back by itself but the feeling that its there is the reminder to go with it and let your shoulders sit how it is correcting them. GREAT PRODUCT!
