The best of 7 posture correctors that I’ve tried
My poor posture got to the point where people thought I was 15 years older than I actually am, and my primary care doctor recommended I try a posture corrector. Because many of these correctors are poorly designed, I ended up ordering 7 different ones, and have returned all but two of them. Here’s what I’ve learned about posture correctors. There are two basic types: 1) those that are like backpack straps that go around your arms and behind your back, and 2) those that are like backpack straps and also wrap around your torso. Each have their advantages and disadvantages, summarized below.In order to pull your shoulders back, both types of correctors have to dig into your armpits — there appears to be no way of avoiding this — but the ones with wider, softer straps to distribute the load across your pits are much more comfortable than those with narrower straps made out of firmer materials. Correctors that have special ‘armpit pads’ that you can adjust to the maximum pressure point are useless: the pads move around as soon as you move your arms and quickly end up not in the place where you need them. For both types of correctors, I found that it’s much more comfortable to wear them over an undershirt (with a regular shirt on top) than to put them directly against my skin.Of the two basic types of correctors, I found that type 2 correctors never worked for me: by the time I got the strap around my torso tight enough that my shoulders were pulled back, I could hardly breathe. This design does have the advantages that the corrector stays in place, no matter how you move your arms, and that they’re easy to put on and take off by yourself. For me, the fact that tight torso squeezing still gave inadequate shoulder correction meant that I returned every one of this type.For type 1 correctors, the class that this product falls into, it’s quite easy to get good shoulder correction. The drawback to this design is that as you move your arms around, the corrector slips out of place, providing less correction, and then has to be readjusted. Almost every type 1 corrector I tried had the loops that the straps pull through at the shoulders, so that to tighten the straps, you have to pull the velcro to the center of your back, which is nearly impossible to do by yourself. The thing I liked about this particular corrector is that the loops are at the center of the back, so to adjust it you pull the straps up in front of you and close the velcro on the front of your shoulders, making it easy to put on and take off. The straps on this one are also nice, wide and soft, so it’s as comfortable as the best of the others I tried. The only other one of the 7 that I bought and didn’t return is the Evoke Pro A300. The Evoke stays in place much better than this one with arm movement and can provide a bit more correction, but the Evoke is impossible to put on by myself (I need my spouse to help me), and its thinner, harder straps dig into my armpits more than the current item, so I can wear it for less amount of time. As compromises go, this product is the best of those I’ve tried. I also like the fact that this product comes with velcro ‘extender’ straps; I didn’t need these, but for larger folks, I’m sure with the extenders that you’d have no problems getting a good fit.

Functionality
Confortable to wear. Provides back support & helps relieve some back pain. I like that it encourages good posturre while using computer.

Excellent Posture Corrector
I purchased the posture corrector from Gearari, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. As someone who spends long hours at a desk, I was beginning to notice the toll it was taking on my posture. However, since using this product, I’ve experienced a significant improvement.The design is comfortable and discreet, allowing me to wear it under my clothes without any discomfort or bulkiness. The adjustable straps make it easy to find the perfect fit, and the lightweight material ensures that I can wear it for extended periods without feeling restricted.But most importantly, the effectiveness of this posture corrector is truly remarkable. Within just a few days of consistent use, I noticed a difference in my posture. It gently reminds me to maintain proper alignment throughout the day, leading to less strain on my back and shoulders.Overall, I highly recommend the Gearari posture corrector to anyone looking to improve their posture and alleviate discomfort associated with poor alignment. It’s a small investment with significant benefits for your health and well-being.

At first I could feel it doing my posture good, but after a few days, instead of getting used to it, it just got more painful, digging in under my arms.

Simple and good design
