VOKKA Posture Corrector M

I couldn't wait to write this review. I had bought and returned other flimsy posture devices. Until this one. It actually had a firm section (with metal that is somehow cushioned to be comfortable) that goes against the upper part of your spine. So with this on, I feel my spine straightening, my shoulders getting pulled back, and wowza... it actually works splendidly!!A bit about me: I'm middle aget, was a triathlete when I was younger, and I currently to go the gym about 4 or 5 days a week. I'm in good shape. But I work at my computer most of the day and have developed a desk-job slouch with my shoulders rolling forward. As I am over 50, tightness and pain have been happening in my shoulders over the last year. I go to yoga classes in addition to my gym strength training, get a massage or two a month, try to stretch on my own, and my shoulder tightness and pain persists. I believe the pain is from from my rolling my shoulders forwards when I'm at my desk and computer.This brace works to correct my posture and it's like my body is breathing fresh air in getting it's posture corrected. The good news is this device is so effective, my "muscle memory" is springing into action. I wear it maybe 30 minutes, take it off, and then I want to pull my shoulders back and sit upright rather than having sloppy posture and rolling my shoulders forward.One side comment, I did not find this device initially comfortable. It initially cut into my arm pits with a very thin tee shirt on. But they advise wearing over clothing and I'm wearing a sweatshirt now and it feels great. You can also order a couple sheepskin seat belt covers to wrap onto this if you want it more cushy around the shoulders and armpits. What I'm trying to say is don't give up on this just because it's not cushy when you first wear it. It is effective, which is what I care about.Here is to your health and long life!(P.S. I have absolutely no affiliation with the manufacturer and they don't know me from blue. I rarely write reviews, only when something is really bad... or really good. This is really good, in my opinion, hence my review!)

My posture was way better after an hour of wearing this. In less than a day there was a noticeable difference even with it off. I am very happy because I had to perform on stage with a sleeveless dress and I looked taller and thinner just because I had worn this for a few hours beforehand. When I first got it and put it on I was rushed and thought it was too small, but after I found the side adjustments it was great. I have a narrow rib cage (34" bra) and the medium fits me perfectly (though are at least 6 more inches in the strap for a wider torso). I was worried that the strap across the abdomen would be annoying (I don't like belts) but it fits just on the bra line which doesn't bother me at all. I would NOT recommend wearing this under your clothes unless you have an undershirt between the brace and your skin. With an undershirt it would be fine. Also since it's stretchy, sometimes I still find myself slouching but this constantly reminds me to pull back, and supports me staying in place once I adjust. I work from home, so sitting at my desk is the perfect chance to wear it. I also wear it during the 20-minute commute to my kid's school. If you can find the size that's right for you, I highly recommend this posture correcter.

Ordered this posture corrector recently and have been using it for 4 days in a row now. The support provided is adequate but could have been better. It supports only a small portion of the back, the back support should be slightly longer.Rest, it does provoke you to improve your posture and sit up straight to some extent. I haven't tried any other product in this category so cannot give a comparison, but for this product, I would say order a bigger size so that you get ample back area covered.The adjustable straps make it really comfortable, making it easy to wear under your formal attire as well.I would recommend buying this one, till the time you get a slightly bigger size than you need.

I have the worst posture - always have. I'm not trying to have a hunchback so I need to fix this issue! This brace is extremely uncomfortable under my arms. Not only is it rubbing my underarms it also cuts off circulation to my arms when I stretch them in front of my body to use my keyboard - they feel like they're falling asleep. When I put my arms by my sides everything is fine. Can only wear for 10-15 minutes at the most before I lose all feeling in my arms. However, the brace does its job of making me constantly aware of my posture and fixing it. I wish the brace was a little longer to keep my entire back straight. Overall I like the brace. I'll update this review after a few weeks of wear.

I used the chart and measured myself as instructed. I ordered a medium which is my size in all my clothing.You position it at your back with the two loops over your arms and pull the bottom band forward to fasten it.You actually have to pull the band forward while pushing on the loops over your arms at the same time. I could not do it. I am of average strength. I can lift a bankers box of books (carefully and we’ll balanced) but I could not stretch the band to get it to fasten.Sorry, this was a good idea but needs work designing how it is put on and how the sizing is done. Perhaps there could be adjustable straps for the arms which are tightened after the band is fastened. And if there were adjustable straps on the band itself, that would allow for the variety of builds we have in each size category. Thank you.
