GABRIALLAMid and Lower Back Posture Corrector for Women TLSO-250: Large

I bought this for my scoliosis so it won't get too much worse as I get older, and I'm very pleased with it so far. I got it sooner than I thought (which is always nice) and it actually helps my posture to the point where I notice it! I used to have a brace that was actually incorrect for my back (which was one that only works for keeping the shoulders back, but does not help with lower to mid back), and it had very scratchy shoulder straps that hurt my under-arms. This brace comes with foam padded arm straps, and the foam can slide up and down the straps so that I can get padding in the right places (though I have to say the straps might chafe your under-arms still slightly if you're wearing a sleeveless shirt/tank top underneath it). A word of caution though: know your measurements when buying this because due to sanitary reasons it is non-refundable once taken out of the package. You don't really need the buddy system to get this on (I've been able to do it all by myself every time) but the criss-cross straps in the back will slip out of the small loops that keep them in place (you can see those two loops in the picture provided)...so if you sit down and let the bottom of the brace rest on the surface you're sitting on then the straps will be less likely to slip out while you're putting it on. In other words, it's much like putting on a snug backpack with loose straps that may slip out of their rungs before you can strap it! I've had this brace for about three days now and I can tell the improvement in my posture from only wearing the brace while I'm at home and taking it off when I go out! As for its bulkiness...it's not very bulky at all but the straps may be noticeable under slim-fitting clothes, which is why I only wear it at home. Almost didn't buy this brace because of the price, but if you're back is hurting and are tired of spending $30 on cheap braces or suffering with pain that could be lessened then get this because I personally don't regret a dollar I spent on this!

i almost didn't buy this brace because of its price, but i'm so glad I did. it really helps my chronic back pain and corrects my bad posture. it provides great support while standing or sitting, but after 5 or 6 hours, it starts to feel uncomfortable and the straps start cutting into my underarms. I was surprised how quickly it got dirty, but it washed well by hand.it took a bit of adjusting to get a proper fit; I threaded the straps through the uppermost slot at the back and have to pull them tight so that my back is straight. that means you don't have much maneuverability with your arms though. also, there's 2 flexible metal bars running up the back of the brace and they're the key for support. they sometimes slip down a little, but you can push them back up. it really feels like a substantial brace and is very well made. all in all, i'm delighted with my purchase and feel that my muscles will learn to straighten up in time.

It’s not very comfortable and one of the Velcro strap that holds your shoulder pack doesn’t tape down, so I have to constantly readjust. I’m planning on returning it

My wife hurt her back real bad, and doctor wanted her to keep her back straight and pulled back. We have three kids aged 4 and younger so that's difficult. Buy this brace did the trick. It kept her back in the proper position. It was a little difficult getting the right size though. According to the measurements she should have been a medium but we had to return that for a large.The only other complaint was that the Ayala going over the shoulders and under the arms were a bit uncomfortable.Still a great product and would buy again.

Love this. My only complaint is that it rides up, my hips are large and when I sit down it is forced up. Might be better in a shorter style though. I am 5'3. I have a metal and plastic brace that is uncomfortable to wear, so I wear this on a daily basis. Very comfortable. Overall well pleased. I wear a w22 and bought an XL. Might have even gotten by with a smaller size, but I tend to always go big when I order online. It has helped my back immensely. I have already recommended it to a pain group I am in on FB.

I've been wearing it for short periods of time for 2 days now.Pros: really good back support (felt like instant relief for my lower back issues); does help me sit straighter; not too uncomfortable for shorter periods of time (30 min - 90 min)Cons: tricky to get on (lots of velcro and ties, like a straightjacket sans sleeves); no bending over, must bend with your legs.Overall: I'd recommend it as a good trainer to help you get your posture in shape.

I had a back issue which I had to get months of physiotherapy for. After physio I bought the brace to give me added stability when sleeping or on long drives or sitting up for hours. It did what it was designed for.ConsIt rides up sometimes and you may have to pull it down.There is no hiding this thing it is very visible even under clothes which is expected for any type of brace I suppose.

Posture Corrector Lumbo vest is super helpful; I gave it a 4 star because I am a 5' lady and the long in the back with the brace to the neck stick up because my torso is small and short; look a little weird but I will keep it because to send it back, it will cost too much and plus shipping & handling has already cost me too much.Overall it keep my back straight, and it helps my posture.

The back support arrived fast. The problem I have with it is that the metal bars that are in the back for support are too far apart for me so they come up the shoulder blades which isn't comfortable.

love it but can only use it in the house as it is not totally hidden under most clothes. I notice a reduction in back pain after few days of use

The brace was everything I'd hoped for....thanks.
