Posture Corrector

I've been battling poor posture for as long as I can remember. I try to remind myself to sit and stand up straight, but that's not very effective since I always forget! Now that I'm in my 30s, my posture is still horrible. It makes my neck and shoulders ache, and it just looks unflattering. I'm 5'6, but with my slouching I'm about 5'4. I've wanted to get something for a while that might help, but I had no follow through. And then I finally just had enough and started looking for something that I thought looked simple to use. I ended up buying the Marakym posture corrector. It arrived incredibly fast, and I was excited to try it out. ·It's adjustable, so you'll probably find the perfect fit. · The arm pads are useful! Without them it feels a bit sharp digging into my underarms. · The upper back support was felt right away. · It really keeps you from slouching! I was a little lost at first about how to get it on, but managed nicely once I got all of the straps straight. It comes with a carrying bag and some kinesiology tape that I can't wait to use when I start my new workout regimen. By the way, there was only a slight smell with this item. It's really not a big deal though since it's brand new, and it will fade. I'm so happy with this posture corrector and can't wait to see how it helps me over time. I feel like my actual height now! For the posture corrector, bag, and tape, the price is great. I would absolutely recommend for anybody who needs to improve their posture. It's important to do this as soon as you can because your physical health is important and you don't want to wait until it's too much to deal with. Go and buy this!

This posture corrector is easy to put on (once I knew how) and comfortable to wear for hours at a time when I'm sitting at my computer, driving or riding in the car, watching tv or walking. I feel like it opens up my upper lungs when I wear it and that I breathe more fully when I am wearing it. I have found I shouldn't use it when doing bending and carrying tasks such as taking my boxes of holiday decorations in and out of the attic. It became uncomfortable. I think it is beginning to improve my posture when I am not wearing it because I am more aware of what good posture feels like and I correct myself more often. It is not bulky and I have worn it under my coat when I go out walking or shopping. My only complaint is that it did not come with instructions on how to put it on or how to adjust it to your body. I went on YouTube to find a video.

I decided to go with this posture corrector after evaulating several options. This brand was highly rated and I feel like when it is on it's effective at keeping the shoulders back and improving posture. My only con, and it's a pretty big one, is that it's difficult/impossible to tighten yourself when it's on your back. The angle of the tighening straps are behind you and no arm can move in a reverse 90 degree angle to tighten it meaning it requires a second person to tighen it and properly align the device. My wife is happy to help but I'd rather have one that I can put on myself. I'm going to considering returning this to find one that I can self tighten.

The product is not great, I believe it was made for people with posture problems, not for people with back/neck problems. For this reason, the product did not work for me. The straps did not have “settings”, by this I mean that they did not have anything that served as a guide to know whether both straps are adjusted equally. If one side is tighter than the other, someone could be injured by the product over time through use. There were not guidelines as to how it should fit... ideally, the user would be instructed in more detail; whether the straps go below or over your shoulder blade, that would be good to know. Just bad design overall... For this reason I am returning the product. The product still needs work.

I am disabled and have multiple issues with my spine. I typically sit and walk very hunched over and I’m not terribly old so it’s quite embarrassing and it also causes me additional pain. So I’ve been looking for something to help with that. I’ve been using this product for about a week and a half now and I’ve noticed definite improvement in my posture when I’m sitting or walking. I do recommend that you follow the instructions and only wear it for brief periods of time at first. You do start to get used to it. The straps are quite sturdy, made of Velcro and adjustable so it’s easy to get a secure fit even on my small frame. I did get some sensitivity in the area underneath my arms and so I do recommend wearing it over some type of shirt to reduce the irritation it might cause, I feel the underarm area could definitely use more padding. Also, you can see the brace when you are wearing it underneath your clothes. I was quite surprised by the quality of this product though. It came in a nice box with everything individually wrapped. It also comes with a carrying case which makes it convienant to bring with you to work or wherever. There was also a bonus of kinesiology tape which was great because it’s something I use all the time on my joints. Overall a good product!
