We compared two posture correctors aimed at desk workers: the Vicorrect Posture Corrector and the Schiara Posture Corrector.
What we looked at
Coverage and support structure, breathability, adjustability, and price. Consult a doctor or physiotherapist if you have an existing back condition before using either.
The verdict
If you want fuller coverage with four flexible ABS rods supporting the upper back, shoulders and spine, plus a lower-back brace section, the Vicorrect is the more structured pick, at £28.99. If you would rather pay £11.00 less for a simpler figure-eight shoulder strap that fits chest sizes 30 to 43 inches, the Schiara is the value option, at £17.99.
A £28.99 posture corrector with four ABS rods and a 2-in-1 back-brace design.
A £17.99 lightweight shoulder brace that fits chest sizes 30 to 43 inches.
