- the visibility of the corrector under the clothes;
- elasticity and naturalness of the material;
- the presence of rigid and protruding elements;
- effectiveness from wear;
- reputation of the company.
Below is a ranking of the best posture correctors that guarantee decent product quality. This is confirmed by numerous customer reviews.
Best electronic posture correctors
Some of them had grandmothers in childhood who periodically slapped their backs with their palm: "Don't slouch!" Those who have passed such methods of education can get themselves a modern electronic "grandmother". Electronic posture correctors are attached to the underwear or breast skin, usually under the collarbone. The device fixes the correct position of the body and reacts to deviations from the memorized "norm" by starting to vibrate.
Advantages of electronic posture correctors in comparison with traditional orthopedic products:
- stealth;
- can be worn by both children and adults;
- develops the habit of keeping his back straight without relying on external devices.
Among the shortcomings, it should be noted the impossibility of using people with an implanted pacemaker, low efficiency in scoliosis, the impossibility of correcting asymmetric shoulders.
3 Posture Master
It takes an honorable third place solely because of its relatively high price. The rest of the device is convenient, lightweight and invisible. A circle of white plastic, 3.7 cm in diameter, is either glued to the skin or fixed to the underwear. The kit includes the device itself, a clip for fixing to underwear, a set of plasters for attaching to the body, a replaceable battery.
After the correct body position is fixed, the device responds with vibration to deviations from the norm lasting more than a minute. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust the interval. Another drawback that users complain about is that the vibration is too intense, attracting the attention of strangers.
2 Posture Corrector Lumo Lift
The best option for those who do not want to carry a lot of gadgets with them is the posture corrector and pedometer in one device. Synchronizes with the application on Android and IOs, to synchronize with Windows Mobile you will have to purchase a proprietary Windows Dongle adapter. If you enter gender, age, weight and height into the application, then the device will also calculate the consumed calories. The number of steps taken, calorie consumption and the time during which the posture was correct will be shown by the mobile application. Synchronization with the phone is via Bluetooth. The size of the sensor is 2.5x4.5x0.7 cm. Weight 11 g. The set includes a charger and two magnets for fixing to clothes: black and white. If desired, you can buy other colors.
In order for the device not to interfere with daily activities, reacting, for example, to an attempt to put on shoes, you can set a time interval during which Lumo Lift will "ignore" an incorrect posture - and this is the only electronic posture corrector that has such a function. Some users consider Bluetooth as a disadvantage, which drains the phone's battery rather quickly. Also, many complain about the inability to control the charge of the device itself.
1 Corden Magic Nero
The multifunctional apparatus is a compact device that eliminates involuntary muscle contraction, compression of discs between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae, painful sensations. The simulator has three faces that act on three vertebral segments.
The corrector is one of the best devices to relieve back pain and restore blood circulation. It acts on the cause of the discomfort. Together with Corden, the long-awaited ease comes after 2-3 sessions without taking any medication. Buyers note the ease of use of the corrector, safety for young and old people. When worn, there may be slight discomfort in the area of painful areas. After use, relief of heaviness and relaxation is felt. Material color - black, weight - only 200 grams.
Best reclinators
The reclinator is essentially two elastic loops that wrap around the shoulders and converge at the back. The intersection can be reinforced with an additional "back" or left "as is". Judging by the reviews, the first option is more comfortable to wear. Of all the "classic" format posture correctors, reclinators are the most inconspicuous. They are used mainly for stoop or kyphosis. The reclinator can also help straighten uneven shoulders in the absence of pathology in other parts of the spine.
The reclinator can also be used for children: for the prevention of improper fit at the desk (Erisman's orthopedic desks have sunk into oblivion along with the Soviet Union), for posture correction. You can use them starting from the age of four. Both children and adults can wear the reclinator for no more than 6 hours a day.
When choosing a reclinator, you need to pay attention to the sufficient width of the shoulder loops - narrow straps will dig into the body, causing discomfort.
Among the shortcomings of the reclinator, one can note their ineffectiveness in case of long-term (more than 10 years) existing pathologies. Often users complain that the loops stretch quickly. Improperly fitted reclinator loops can chafe even through the T-shirt.
3 Ottobock RB 1068
The next rating model is a device with twist inserts. It is suitable for people of any age and is prescribed by a doctor after operations, as a prevention of osteoporotic fractures. The reclinator relieves pain, forms an even posture.
It is not visible under clothing even in summer and fits snugly against the back. The corrector is made of a moisture-permeable material that does not cause an allergic reaction. It is comfortable to use both in cold and hot seasons. True, the price of the goods is not affordable for everyone. The reclinator is not suitable for the treatment of back pathologies, but it is highly effective in straightening the spinal column.
2 Reclinator (Delbe rings) Trives T-1790
Has wide straps with the ability to precisely adjust the tension, which allows you to correctly fix even asymmetrical shoulders. It is very convenient to adjust the straps along the length without resorting to outside help. This reclinator is not only a posture corrector, but also a full-fledged medical device: it allows you to fix the clavicles, relieving their ligamentous apparatus. This is necessary for injuries of the clavicle and shoulder girdle, after some operations.
Made of lightweight breathable material, comfortable to wear. The fabric is hypoallergenic, which theoretically allows the reclinator to be worn on a naked body, but the likelihood of getting scuffs is much higher.
1 Reclinator Krate D-130 underwear
Ladies know that it is not an easy task to choose a posture corrector so that it is not visible under clothes. Like any reclinator, Crate D-130 is designed to correct posture disorders that have no medical reasons. Kreith has earned a place in the ranking among the best products for the fact that he does not force girls to choose between benefits and beauty, combining both.
Made with the female anatomy in mind: the strap of the chest strap runs smoothly under the bust and fastens with hooks. The clasp is three-row, allowing you to adjust the volume. On the sides, the chest bandage smoothly passes into the straps, not only straightening the shoulders, but also supporting the chest.The criss-cross straps at the back are wide for comfort and are trimmed with lace, transforming the medical device into a beautiful underwear. The size is determined by the girth under the bust, like a bra. It is produced in three colors: beige, white, black, which allows you to choose a reclinator for clothes according to the same principles as underwear. Fits over a bra.
It allows not only to correct the posture, but also to relieve the spine in case of osteochondrosis of the upper thoracic spine, intercostal neuralgia, and mild osteochondropathy. Among the shortcomings, it should be said about the impossibility of accurate correction of the reclinator tension.
Best chest and thoracolumbar correctors
These orthopedic devices are used for more serious postural disorders: scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis, pterygoid scapula. As support, they are used for neuralgia, arthrosis, in the initial stages of muscular dystrophy. Chest-lumbar correctors not only correct posture, but are, in fact, corsets that relieve the spine in case of osteochondrosis.
All correctors of this type have stiffening ribs that support the physiological curves of the spine. Posture correctors are usually made of synthetic materials, which, on the one hand, gives them greater strength, on the other hand, it can cause discomfort when worn on a naked body. That is why such posture correctors are definitely recommended to be worn over underwear.
Posture correctors, like reclinators, must be kept clean by washing them periodically.
4 Fosta F 4604
The practical orthosis with high wear resistance is characterized by three rigid ribs and a soft fabric closure. Special bands are provided to support the shoulder joints. A corset is prescribed for lower back pain, radiculitis, hernias.
Consumers speak about the model mostly positively. They note the breathability of the material, high results after constant use of the corrector.

2 Magnetic Posture Support
The magnets built along the spine and the lower edge of the ribs, as conceived by the developers, allow Magnetic Posture Support to combine the functions of a posture corrector and a physiotherapy apparatus. True, the manufacturer does not provide any explanation for the benefits of magnets other than “used in traditional medicine for centuries to relieve stress and relax muscles”.
The low price and the promise to reduce the pain syndrome due to magnets captivate in this product. But the opinions of those who bought this posture corrector differ sharply. Someone considered that the product fulfills all its promises for such a price, someone notes an inexpensive and fragile material from which the back sweats. Without exception, everyone says that the shoulder straps are inconveniently located: but someone was able to put up with this, but for someone the discomfort from the belts twisted into a bundle turned out to be unbearable. In any case, the product earned a place in the ranking, at least for the price and the original approach to the treatment of muscle pain.
The magnetic posture corrector is contraindicated for people with pacemakers, insulin pumps.
1 Posture corrector Orlett TLSO 250
Orlett TLSO 250 fixes not only the shoulders and thoracic spine, but also the lower back due to the wide corset belt.It is produced in versions for both adults and children, but it got into our rating not so much for the variety of sizes, but for the fact that, according to the reviews of those who used it, it is almost imperceptible on the body, while leaving no opportunity to slouch.

The disadvantages include a relatively high price.
