Well-made but designed for a long torso and narrow chest
This product seems very well-made. It's sturdy and the materials are better than I expected.However, I'm returning it. Even with adjustments, this didn't give me any support. The waist fit fine, the shoulder straps were far too long, and the armholes were designed for someone with very different proportions, probably a chest that's narrow from side to side. (It wasn't a bust issue; you can be large or small, and I don't think it would matter, in terms of which size to order.)Based on others' reviews and my own measurements, I ordered an XXL. I wear a size 16 (US) dress, sometimes a 14 and sometimes an 18, depending on the manufacturer. My proportions are average - I'm not an "apple" or a "pear."When this product arrived, the waist fit fine; it's very adjustable. The shoulder straps were far too long, and - even at their tightest - the straps remained somewhat loose and gave me no support. The armhole openings were too small, and - had the shoulder straps been okay - I still wouldn't have worn this. The padding at the front of the shoulder/arm openings would have rubbed uncomfortably, every time I moved my arms.The fit might have been perfect if my torso was much longer and my ribs much narrower. Perhaps the seller needs to include more measurements, like back waist length, or chest measurement directly under the armpits.If you have a fairly long torso, you may love this product. (From collarbone to navel, my measurement is 17 inches, and the XXL was far too long on me.)If you're between waist sizes, order the larger one, as other reviewers have recommended. The velcro waist closure can probably accommodate a difference of up to five inches. Maybe more. It depends on how much you overlap the bands. For support, it should be a snug fit, but not uncomfortable.This may be an item people should try on in a store. But, if you really need this kind of back support, you may not mind the possibility of needing to exchange it for a different size.Had this fit me, I'd have given this four- or five-stars for materials and workmanship. The only problem was the size or - more precisely - the apparently disproportionate fit.

Works great
My husband bought it for his back problems and it has really helped. I am thinking I need one too. Works best with an undershirt under it, but the blue color does transfer. It seems to wash out ok though.

it would be good
I hunch over and have extreme pain at night. This brace keeps me from slouching except it hurts my armpits very badly that I can not tolerate to wear. Would be good if I could just fix the arm thing.

Back Support Brace
I do like this brace but I was hoping for a little stronger support and pulling of shoulders back. I do wear it often and it's comfortable but I wish it was stronger on support, just a little bit more. It does work for reminding you to straighten up and that's the whole point for improving posture, to change habits and quit hunching, so I am glad I purchased it.

Five Stars
Works great but it's like wearing a heating pad, just hope you don't mind sweating!

He did really like, but for now we will have to search ...
The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because the strap area irritated it my husband after a few hours. And there is no way to wear but with the straps. He did really like, but for now we will have to search for something with a different design, but same purpose.
