I have purchases several posture aids over the years, including several in the last year. I have had poor posture for many years despite weight-bearing exercise, unless I am paying attention, in part because my Dad was round shouldered as he got older. In the years before his death at 92, he could not even lay his head flat, coming at best about four inches from the ground. I have been determined to fight this as I get older. None of the devices I have purchased comes close to working as well as the Neo G device. And most I have not returned because I have worn them long enough that I didn't feel I could legitimately return them. My most recent purchase -- Faburo Adjustable Back Brace for Posture Correction and Back Pain Support - NEW Added Under-Arm Cushion Support - UNISEX (Black), also from Amazon -- was a good device but it was so long in the body that, to strap it on tightly or it would hurt my neck. And even though I purchased my size, it just did not pull back my shoulders as much as I would like. The Neo G is a fully adjustable device, both around the waist and, because the should harness also pulls around and velcroes in the front, is also fully adjustable. It ran true to size and, when pulled on tight, it really pulls your shoulders back. It has lightweight stays for the length of the back to provide a reminder to keep your bak straight. It also features pads so that the underarm area is well-protected. I have worn it at night (and I sleep in an adjustable bed) but I find that it is more useful to wear during the day, where it is a strong reminder not only to keep your shoulders back but to keep your spine more erect. Since I work from home, it's a good reminder indeed. Going out: I would wear it under a jacket but not something lightweight, like a T-shirt. I have worn it over an exercise shirt and under a fleece jacket when running around doing errands. If you sit at a desk, this would be ideal. Finally I have found a posture device that really works!

This was a disappointment. I had pretty high hopes for it but it just isn't a good product. I got XL but the straps are way too short. Cuts off circulation under my ribs. The shoulder cushions are enormous and don't actually help a bit. The straps themselves are far less uncomfortable and certainly less bulky, but too short to fasten properly. The metal stays in the back work their way out within minutes so they poke up. If this were worn under a shirt, there would be lumps everywhere. Read more
It is very comfortable, doesn't cut into the shoulders. The design needs improvement as the long straps that cross in the back and wrap around are too short to velcro in place. I sewed more velcro on mine and works great now. My waist is 86cm and got a large. Really helping with ergonomic issues at work. Read more
It would help if I'd wear it but it's not the most comfortable. Runs really small. I'm 5'10 & under 150lbs.. I got an XL. Perhaps it was for a child? Could use some cushioning or tweaking around collarbone. Velcro bit crunchy, if you are having issues it would totally help. Just don't expect major comfort. (I got two thinking I would gift one to my mom but if it was that small on me, I didn't bother passing along). Read more
THIS IS DESIGNED FOR KIDS!!!! That's why it seems to run so small. I got medium and I barely fit in it. Other than that a good product! It pulls your shoulders back and help you to maintain( with time) a good posture. Make sure you start slowly with it. First couple of days wear it for 15 minutes, than 20 min, than 30 min.. So your back slowly adjust to that and you won't have pain. And remember, it won't fix your problem! You need to do much more to heal your kyphosis (like yoga) there is some specific poses for that), swimming helps too... etc and first of all consult with you doctor SIZING GUIDE To size, measure waist circumference (In) Small: 23.6 - 27.6 In Medium: 27.6 - 33.5 In Large: 33.5 - 39.4 In X-Large: 39.4 - 45.3 In XX-Large: 45.3 - 51.2 In The Neo G Clavicle Brace (Posturex) has been designed to help support an early kyphosis by encouraging correct alignment of the dorsal and lumbar spine.

This product runs very, very small. I can't say "very" enough. As a size M in a women's t-shirt, I ordered an XL, following the reviews of the other reviewers. The shoulder straps are too short and by the time they wrap around and connect, the straps dig into your armpits, causing friction/burns. What makes the sizing problematic is that this product is NOT returnable. I received the brace yesterday, wore it today and said, "No way." When a manufacturer does not offer a return policy, I have to wonder why - because they finally dumped something marketed deceptively and made their money? Especially frustrating for a product in the realm of a medical device where we just want relief from pain. I should have read their return policy. You should, too. Lesson learned. By the way, a similar product call Posture Corrector Brace by ufeelgood.us is appropriately sized, and you will be much happier. I bought a size Medium from them and the fit is accurate. Read more
