It does work 
2008-06-14
This product actually works fairly well. The only problems I encountered were that it hurts your arms, it rides up and becomes ineffective and if you put it in the washer and dryer it will stretch out and no longer work. If you hand wash it and put it over your bra, or an undershirt it works pretty well, considering the cheap price. If you have the money however, I would recommend shelling it out for better quality product.
Good but Ouch

This works but it cuts into you runderarms as there is no padding on the straps. also I found myself adjusting it quite often as it would find itself traveling up my back.
Good Concept Poor Design 2008-03-28
Needed something to pull the shoulder blades back - have developed "wings" over the years of poor posture! The design is very poor in practical wearing. The fabric under the arms resembles velcro and very irritating & tight, without any adjustment for the armpit area. The center fastener does not stay in place - level with the shoulder blades - which further irritates the armpits by continuing to creep up toward the neck. Agree with another poster, this would be much more effective with a front adjustable band/strap to keep in proper position. Wearing does make me more aware of my posture which reminds me to correct the "wing thing" by standing with shoulders back. BTW I am 5'5" & 120 pounds, so I cannot imagine how uncomfortable this would be on someone taller or with developed shoulders, arm muscles, etc.
Kinda Sorta 2008-02-18
I've definitely become aware of when I don't have my shoulders properly pulled back. But is it supposed to do more than that? I don't know if it's really working or not.
I don't feel bad for the money I paid for it though, and that's always a plus.
Great Help 
2008-01-27
I found this product to be a great help in reminding me to keep my shoulders back. It's a little difficult to get off, but it wouldn't be doing you any good if it wasn't tight enough. You definitely need to wear it over a tee shirt, as it would leave your armpits raw otherwise. I have some neck problems, and found I could only wear it for a couple of hours without it putting too much strain on my neck. But that's been enough. Doing that has helped me to remember to keep my shoulders back throughout the day. For the price, it's a great product.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY 
2007-05-15
I'm sorry, but this item is a joke. There is absolutely nothing to this piece of elastic. The view is of the back and that is all there is, there is no front. Take a piece of elastic and put a rubber band at each end and there you have the "Posture Perfect Band, Back Support Brace" HA! Not worth returning, postage is more than the product. I wouldn't even rate this product with a -0, but I had to fill in all blanks and 1 star was as low as I could go.
You get what you pay for! 2007-05-08
I purchased this item for my daughter as she is quite the sloucher; I was sick of poking my finger between her shoulder blades to get her to stand up straight.
This product lasted one day on her. She had major chafing in her underarm area, and it was constantly "riding up" since the elastic didn't seem to pull back. The other reviews are correct in that the product did not come with any instructions; just tossed in a plastic baggie and shipped off. Heck, I didn't even know there was a "this end up" until I read another review.
At least it wasn't a major expense.
Good for the price 2007-05-07
For the price this is a great product! I immediately noticed a difference in my posture and with the brace on it was hard to slouch. The material is strong and well made. The only con to this product is that it fits extremely and uncomfortably tight in the armpits.
Depends on what you're looking for 2007-03-10
I tend to slouch quite badly, and was just looking a quick, inexpensive fix to that problem. This solved it.
I will say, as a preamble, if you tend hunch over as well, this product probably won't help as much as others - it obviously only focuses on shoulders). I began wearing this in the winter, so I wore a thin vest, then the brace, then a t-shirt and I didn't get the sore armpits many people complained about - EXCEPT for one day when I accidently wore the thing upside down. If you look carefully at the product, you'll realize there is a right side up, and a wrong side up, though it is NOT clearly marked. Wearing it the wrong way round makes it sit quite high, and then it does hurt to wear. Overall, in terms of interaction with clothes, it's a bit thicker and wider than a bra-strap, and sits in the same general area so figure out how that would work with your clothing style. The first several days I did get sore shoulders, but that passed- I really do believe that it is more a case of my using muscles to sit upright that I didn't use before, rather the brace. As one reviewer mentioned, you are constantly aware of the brace being there - if you weren't, then you're probably sitting slouched over.
