Best Posture Support for Petite Woman
I've tried a few different supports to help improve my posture, especially since I spend most of my day slumping over a desk. I haven't had a lot of success with shoulder supports mainly because they really are uncomfortable and/or caused rashes.
This brace is different. It's very soft and very comfy. It can feel a little tight under the armpits, but not uncomfortable. And it's completely adjustable so you can loosen it up if it becomes irritating.
Honestly, I didn't know how much my posture was slacking until I wore this brace. It really helps me to hold my shoulders back and sit up nice and tall. You can still slump forward, but due to how this brace works, it's actually uncomfortable so you correct yourself quickly.
It is not difficult to adjust or put on. When I received it, I actually put it on backwards and tightened it, then slipped it off (like a backpack) and then slipped it back on the correct way using that same method. It is a little bulky so it's not something you could wear under clothes.
I'm 5'2, 125 lbs, 34 inch across the chest with a small bone frame. The medium fit me, but it just a little big because of where the velco straps sit (in my pits). It's about an inch and a half too long. However, it's easily remedied by folding the edges of the velco back so they sit away from my arm pits. If you're small, you should be able to get a small, but the medium works well too.
I'd definitely recommend this product if you want to help improve your posture.
