Editorial Review:
The posture corrector keeps you upright and standing tall by pulling your shoulders back with its strong perfectly shaped straps. Double reinforced bands tighten your mid-section stimulating contraction of your abdominal muscles while metal stays on your back counter the pressure. This alleviates the stress from your spine, stimulates muscle response for balanced support of your upper body weight. Your new posture is easily learned, your circulation is improved and your breathing is full. A hook 'n eye front closure allows you three levels of support. Aggressive, comfortable and effective for both men and women! Undetectable under clothing. Made in the USA from durable 30% Lycra® spandex and 70% nylon. Machine washable.
I am still looking for a product that will assist with my posture correction. I suspect that I will need a posture correction device ONLY, without the added back support benefit.
Customer service for this garment is fine (not excellent as someone else mentioned) if you can get ahold of anyone at the Underworks Corporation. Their business hours are narrow.
As far as the fit goes, it's a little big because after reading the other reviews, everyone said to order a size bigger than your regular size, and that was a mistake. I should have just ordered my regular size, but it doesn't fit too bad. It could be tighter though. Oh, and the shoulders are pretty comfortable. So I guess the issue is, depending on your body type, how well this will fit (or not).
Overall, the company gets a 5 for delivery, a 4 for price, and a 3 for fit. Which makes my average rating a 4.
I was happy when I saw that it shipped the next day. I waited--2 weeks gone by before I finally decided to contact Underworks. I was frusterated, because it turns out that my brace hadn't shipped yet due to factory issues.
I got it 5 days later and was very disappointed. I thought that I'd be a small, but the reviews had convinced me to order a medium. Maybe this was the mistake. Whatever it was, the band that pulls the shoulders back was too long and the waist was too large. My posture looked exactly the same. I didn't want to bother getting a small in case it was the design and not the size, so I returned it.
The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because Underworks was very prompt and nice about this.

Uncomfortable
MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A SHIRT WITH SLEEVES UNDER THIS! If you don't, your shoulders will be red and raw from chafing. Then, of course, the shirt with another shirt on top of it to hide the device, will make you way too hot! It does help posture somewhat, but more as a reminder. I guess there's no perfect posture aid, but this is more of a girdle, so you have to size "up" and then it's too big for your shoulders. ( didn't know that, and due to unnatural waist and abdomen compression, it caused heartburn). I only wore it once, and threw it into the drawer. Your abdomen will be uncomfortable no matter what. There's gotta be a better way! 2008-11-23
Flimsy and uncomfortable
This thing is very uncomfortable and found it to be way too large through the back part and too tight in the front. It rides up and doesn't lie flat on my mid-section and the straps are so loose that they don't really hold your shoulders back at all. It seems pretty cheaply made and doesn't provide any fabric support at all for the back. Waste of money. 2008-10-29
Well constructed, poorly fitting
This product is very well constructed, but there is no way to adjust the overall length of the brace. If you are petite, you may get a good fit in the waist, but the posture trainer will not train because it is too loose! If you really still want this item, check the Underworks site directly (www.underworks.com) and see if shipping is less there (it was when I ordered).

Fast delivery...the fit is okay...
The product shipped one day before the estimated delivery date which I thought was really great. It fit right into the mailbox which was great as well.
As far as the fit goes, it's a little big because after reading the other reviews, everyone said to order a size bigger than your regular size, and that was a mistake. I should have just ordered my regular size, but it doesn't fit too bad. It could be tighter though. Oh, and the shoulders are pretty comfortable.

Horrible for correcting posture
I ordered this hoping to fix my posture in time for soccer season.
I was happy when I saw that it shipped the next day. I waited--2 weeks gone by before I finally decided to contact Underworks. I was frusterated, because it turns out that my brace hadn't shipped yet due to factory issues.
I got it 5 days later and was very disappointed. I thought that I'd be a small, but the reviews had convinced me to order a medium. Maybe this was the mistake.
