Since you are 5'2", I don't think the Eve shirt will fit you well. I'd stay with what you are currently using. The Alignmed product was extremely short on me while the Intelliskin is almost to long.

Intelliskin was good about returns and exchanges as long as the product was in excellent condition. I don't think you'd have a problem returning it if it irritated your symptoms or didn't offer the support you were hoping to get.

I didn't realize they wanted $95 for the bra too. It's 1/2 the Eve shirt! Women get ripped off all the time with small clothing!
The V-Tee is long on me too (much longer than my older model tank). I haven't found it problematic as I just roll up the bottom end.

Pricing the bra the same as all of the other garments does seem a bit outrageous.

I have a long term problem of being a size "medium-large" which makes it difficult to find shirts that fit well. I ordered the medium Intelliskin, but it is too tight. It does do what it says with regards to posture and I found it especially helpful when sitting at my work desk. This is where my posture tends to degrade the most. But it was too tight to wear for very long.

I have ordered a large and will try it later today. Hopefully it fits right and is not too big to cancel out the benefits.

I tried the large and was surprised that it was so tight in the arm pits. No better than the medium. It did have more material in the middle far upper back close to the neck, but that wasn't where I needed it.

Overall, the Intelliskin is a no go for me. I think if they did custom shirts where they measured out your shoulder, chest, upper traps, etc., and then cranked out a shirt for your body, it would work great. I believe it will also work great if you are fortunate enough to have a good fit with their existing shirts. Sadly, that is not the case with me.

jkl626 mentioned that they liked "The Spinal Q Brace". Um, wow, looks hard to order: http://www.spinalq.com/ (web site comes up blank under any browser at this time).

Hi Chroma, Yes their website doesnt work. My dr at Orthohealing ordered it and it is covered by my insurance. I think its very expensive.Its more like a vest,not a shirt. I think it will be too hot for summer. But it definately helps. Didnt you see a dr at Orthohealing? you might want to call them to see if you can order it. I think they ordered it through a rep.Here is the phone # on the package:855-4-Q-Brace. I also have two alignmed postureshirts. The Black cotton one is the strogest support but nowhere near the spinal Q.

Default Intelliskin Bra
Hi,
Does anyone have the intelliskin Bra? My chiro recommended it or the Eve shirt. They make one with a zipper now, so that might be a good way to go-easier to get on and off. I already have 2 posture shirts, but dont do that much for me as I have small shoulders.
Thanks for any input

The new zipper collection also features:
Quote:
Cool Jade fabric - made from recycled jade stone which cools the skin's surface temperature 3-4º F.
http://shop.intelliskin.net/ZIPPER-COLLECTION_c_23.html

Videos
New Zipper Product Zipper Collection
New Cool Jade fabric on the IntelliSkin Zipper Collection
New Zipper Empower PostureCue™ Sports Bra'

Unfortunately, they don't have a zippered Men's V-Tee yet which is the garment I have the most trouble getting into. I like the idea of the new Cool Jade Fabric.

I have been to the Intelliskin office in Irvine (it's only a few buildings down from my massage therapist). I just called first and they were open to it. They may let you come by and get fitted so you don't waste time shipping garments back and forth.

The best thing about the garments is that they are very lightweight. More lightweight than a men's cotton T-shirt. I can wear them as T-shirts although I think the Eve Shirt may not work as well with many women's fashions.
