These devices prevent you from slouching and hunching, which can lead to better spinal alignment, less muscle tension and less back, neck and shoulder pain, he says.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-02e155\" class=\"body-graf\">The Power Bra\u2019s unique construction is what allows it to improve your posture. Its eight panels and six fabrics vary in tension \u2014 some are looser, offering gentle support, while others are tighter, offering more intense support. Together, the panels and tension fabrics apply pressure to different parts of your upper body, which pulls your shoulders back, lifts your chest up and aligns your spine, according to the brand. The bra also has wide straps, a hallmark feature of posture-correcting bras, says Tamir. They better support the chest and more evenly distribute weight across the shoulders compared to thin straps.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__FvnTh styles_medium__MEKii\" id=\"anchor-c8610a\"><picture class=\"styles_image__i32F7\" data-testid=\"picture\" data-flavor=\"fit\" data-original-height=\"900\" data-original-width=\"900\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5e036a.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5e036a.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5e036a.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5e036a.jpg 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5e036a.jpg\" alt=\"Woman wearing a black Forme Power Bra and standing in front of a white wall.\" height=\"900\" width=\"900\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__TCewG\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">Forme\u2019s Power Bra looks like a standard sports bra, but it\u2019s specifically designed to align your spine and encourage better posture.<\/span><span class=\"caption__source\" data-testid=\"caption__source\">Courtesy of Zoe Malin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"anchor-627f2f\" class=\"body-graf\">Forme\u2019s Power Bra is considered a low-level medical device and <a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?xs=1&amp;id=96128X1608993&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fda.gov%2Fmedical-devices%2Fconsumers-medical-devices%2Fare-there-fda-registered-or-fda-certified-medical-devices-how-do-i-know-what-fda-approved&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fselect%2Fshopping%2Fformepowerbrarcna185946\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-commerce-encoding=\"true\" data-seller-id=\"\" data-seller-affiliate-encoded-url=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?xs=1&amp;id=96128X1608993&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fda.gov%2Fmedical-devices%2Fconsumers-medical-devices%2Fare-there-fda-registered-or-fda-certified-medical-devices-how-do-i-know-what-fda-approved&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fselect%2Fshopping%2Fformepowerbrarcna185946\">FDA-registered<\/a>,  according to the brand.

When wearing it, my head, neck and shoulders stack neatly on top of each other, giving my spine a natural curve \u2014 it\u2019s the posture my former ballet teacher would have praised, and what my current yoga, Pilates and barre teachers all want to see in class.

Wearing the Power Bra made me more conscious of how I\u2019m holding my body, and it\u2019s a great reminder to check that I\u2019m not shrugging, hunching or slouching.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-e962ed\" class=\"body-graf\">All that said, after wearing the Power Bra for the past five months, I ultimately experienced similar results from some of my most supportive, well-fitting, much lower-priced sports bras, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordstrom.sjv.io\/EKMG0n?subId1=formepowerbrarcna185946&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nordstrom.com%2Fs%2Fspanx-flexfeel-sports-bra%2F7995967\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-commerce-encoding=\"true\" data-seller-id=\"ncrg982481\" data-seller-affiliate-encoded-url=\"https:\/\/nordstrom.sjv.io\/EKMG0n?subId1=formepowerbrarcna185946&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nordstrom.com%2Fs%2Fspanx-flexfeel-sports-bra%2F7995967\">Spanx FlexFeel High Impact Sports Bra<\/a> ($68), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinaffid=686351&amp;awinmid=30347&amp;clickref=formepowerbrarcna185946&amp;platform=dl&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.lululemon.com%2Fp%2Fwomen-sports-bras%2FRun-Times-Bra%2F_%2Fprod9520104\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-commerce-encoding=\"true\" data-seller-id=\"ncrg1019766\" data-seller-affiliate-encoded-url=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinaffid=686351&amp;awinmid=30347&amp;clickref=formepowerbrarcna185946&amp;platform=dl&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.lululemon.com%2Fp%2Fwomen-sports-bras%2FRun-Times-Bra%2F_%2Fprod9520104\">Lululemon Run Times Bra<\/a> ($68) and <a href=\"https:\/\/ncls1.com\/irk?o=nthd73&amp;s=515050&amp;subid=nbcnews.com&amp;bkd=fleetfeet.com&amp;di=formepowerbrarcna185946&amp;d=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fleetfeet.com%2Fproducts%2Fwomens-brooks-scoopback-sports-bra-2-0-1%3Fsku%3D350086-001\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-commerce-encoding=\"true\" data-seller-id=\"ncrg1036251\" data-seller-affiliate-encoded-url=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=ucE5BarM2zo&amp;mid=41494&amp;u1=formepowerbrarcna185946&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fleetfeet.com%2Fproducts%2Fwomens-brooks-scoopback-sports-bra-2-0-1%3Fsku%3D350086-001\">Brooks Scoopback Sports Bra<\/a> ($75).

After all, these devices are designed to change how you hold your body, so they\u2019re bound to feel a little awkward, especially if you\u2019ve never used one before. To my surprise, however, I\u2019ve never found Forme\u2019s Power Bra uncomfortable. It causes me to pull my shoulders back and lift my chest up so I sit and stand straighter, and the tension fabrics create an overall compressive feel. But these sensations aren\u2019t too intense or forceful. Wearing the Power Bra feels similar to wearing an extra supportive sports bra.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-dddee4\" class=\"body-graf\">The Power Bra\u2019s arm holes were slightly small and restrictive at first, but once I took Forme\u2019s recommendation of stretching them out a little, they felt better. It didn\u2019t limit my range of motion or flexibility, so I practically forgot I have it on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/forme-power-bra-review-rcna185946#anchor-941d0c\" id=\"anchor-941d0c\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body-heading\"><strong>Maintains quality over time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__FvnTh styles_small__gIJ9M\" id=\"anchor-1f48bc\"><picture class=\"styles_image__i32F7\" data-testid=\"picture\" data-flavor=\"fit\" data-original-height=\"900\" data-original-width=\"900\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1240px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-360w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-320w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 758px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-3-b8b1fb.jpg\" alt=\"A woman wearing a black Forme Power Bra, black leggings and grey pilates socks while stretching on a purple yoga mat in a gym.\" height=\"900\" width=\"900\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__TCewG\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">The Power Bra doesn&#8217;t restrict my movement while I\u2019m doing yoga and other types of exercise, so it\u2019s comfortable to wear for a few hours of activity.<\/span><span class=\"caption__source\" data-testid=\"caption__source\">Courtesy of Zoe Malin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"anchor-562140\" class=\"body-graf\">Throughout my five months testing the Power Bra, which has included dozens of wears and washes, it maintained its compressive feel and didn\u2019t stretch out much, if at all. It\u2019s just as effective now as it was on day one. The only quality issue I noticed is that the small decals on my bra (the brand\u2019s logo on the front and the word \u201cForme\u201d on the back) recently started peeling off. That doesn\u2019t impact the overall look or effectiveness of the Power Bra, but I expected the garment to remain in pristine condition so long as I cared for it properly since it\u2019s almost $200.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/forme-power-bra-review-rcna185946#anchor-d6f7d4\" id=\"anchor-d6f7d4\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-heading\">Potential drawbacks to keep in mind<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/forme-power-bra-review-rcna185946#anchor-e6a061\" id=\"anchor-e6a061\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body-heading\">Expensive for a short-term solution<\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-69a20d\" class=\"body-graf\">While the Power Bra is effective and makes me conscious of my posture while I\u2019m wearing it, I go back to slouching, hunching and tensing up my shoulders when I take it off. I stop thinking about my body\u2019s alignment when I don\u2019t have the garment on, and since that\u2019s the majority of the day, I don\u2019t feel like my posture has improved greatly in the past five months. Although, that\u2019s a common issue with all posture correctors, not something that\u2019s specific to Forme\u2019s. \u201cIf you\u2019re wearing something that gives you support, it can temporarily reduce pain and help to encourage better posture habits that will lead to better body alignment, but it\u2019s not going to be a long-term solution,\u201d says Tamir. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-0c151c\" class=\"body-graf\">Additionally, for it to work best, Tamir recommends wearing a posture corrector daily for two to four hours. But you shouldn\u2019t wear it all day to avoid becoming overly reliant, he says. I typically wear the Power Bra before I exercise and during my workout, so keeping it on for two to four hours isn\u2019t a problem. Wearing it daily, however, isn\u2019t feasible. The bra gets sweaty while I workout, so I have to wash it between uses and I don\u2019t do laundry every day. I also couldn\u2019t invest in multiple Power Bras since each one is so pricey.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__FvnTh styles_medium__MEKii\" id=\"anchor-728ad7\"><picture class=\"styles_image__i32F7\" data-testid=\"picture\" data-flavor=\"fit\" data-original-height=\"900\" data-original-width=\"900\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5-4f9f82.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-560w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5-4f9f82.jpg 1x\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 320px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5-4f9f82.jpg 2x, https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5-4f9f82.jpg 1x\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2024-12\/forme-bra-5-4f9f82.jpg\" alt=\"A profile view of a woman wearing a black shirt with the Forme Power Bra (left) and the Brooks Scoopback Sports Bra (right).\" height=\"900\" width=\"900\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__TCewG\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">Compared to wearing Forme\u2019s Power Bra (left), I got similar posture correcting results while wearing my most supportive, well-fitting sports bras, like the Brooks Scoopback Sports Bra (right).<\/span><span class=\"caption__source\" data-testid=\"caption__source\">Courtesy of Zoe Malin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"anchor-efaac3\" class=\"body-graf\">In short, the Power Bra isn\u2019t a long-term solution and it won\u2019t do all the work for you. It\u2019s still important to do posture correcting exercises that target your core and upper body muscles to help keep your body upright in addition to wearing any posture corrector, says Tamir. This will help you become less reliant on the device over time. Given that the Power Bra is almost $200, it\u2019s a big investment for something I can\u2019t use as often as I need to for it to be truly effective and eventually want to become less reliant on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/forme-power-bra-review-rcna185946#anchor-6c641e\" id=\"anchor-6c641e\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body-heading\">Not adjustable<\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-af916c\" class=\"body-graf\">Other posture correcting bras like the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?xs=1&amp;id=96128X1608993&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fshopetalon.com%2Fproducts%2Fetalon-posture-bra&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fselect%2Fshopping%2Fformepowerbrarcna185946\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-commerce-encoding=\"true\" data-seller-id=\"\" data-seller-affiliate-encoded-url=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?xs=1&amp;id=96128X1608993&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fshopetalon.com%2Fproducts%2Fetalon-posture-bra&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fselect%2Fshopping%2Fformepowerbrarcna185946\">Etalon Posture Bra<\/a> have adjustable straps, which let you customize their fit and control how much they pull your shoulders back. For products like these, Tamir recommends starting with looser straps to get used to the feel of the posture corrector and making them tighter over time. The Power Bra is not adjustable. I found it to be true-to-size and compressive, so I never wanted to adjust the straps from a fit perspective. But it would be nice to control how much the bra pulls my shoulders back so I could build up to a more intense posture correcting experience over time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/forme-power-bra-review-rcna185946#anchor-3efe54\" id=\"anchor-3efe54\" class=\"scrollLink\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-heading\">Final verdict: Is the Forme Power Bra worth it?<\/h2>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7d7a02\" class=\"body-graf\">I only noticed real results with the Power Bra during the limited time I have it on for. It absolutely causes me to hold my body more upright, pull my shoulders back and think about my alignment while I\u2019m wearing it, but it hasn\u2019t made enough of a difference in my posture long-term to justify the almost $200 purchase, in my experience. It\u2019s a solid short-term solution with a limited use case \u2014 due to its high price point, it\u2019s not within my budget to buy multiple versions to ensure I\u2019m using it properly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-f0a752\" class=\"body-graf\">Because I got similar posture correcting results from wearing my most supportive, well-fitting, less pricey sports bras mentioned above, I\u2019d recommend investing in a few of those if you\u2019re looking for a discreet device to help align your spine before investing in such an expensive piece, like Forme\u2019s bra. It\u2019s also worth visiting a store in-person to get professionally fitted, in my experience. And while they\u2019re not nearly as attractive as a posture correcting bra, many highly rated back brace style posture correctors, like those from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Corrector-Back-Adjustable-Straightener-Support-Relief-Breathable\/dp\/B07ZQPKTVV?tag=formepowerbrarcna185946-20\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-commerce-encoding=\"true\" data-seller-id=\"ncrg916911\" data-seller-affiliate-encoded-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Corrector-Back-Adjustable-Straightener-Support-Relief-Breathable\/dp\/B07ZQPKTVV?tag=formepowerbrarcna185946-20\">ComfyBrace<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Berlin-Daughter-Corrector-Breathable-Clavicle\/dp\/B07CP4LX5H?tag=formepowerbrarcna185946-20\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-commerce-encoding=\"true\" data-seller-id=\"ncrg916911\" data-seller-affiliate-encoded-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Berlin-Daughter-Corrector-Breathable-Clavicle\/dp\/B07CP4LX5H?tag=formepowerbrarcna185946-20\">Berlin &amp; Daughter<\/a>, can offer similar results to the Power Bra. They\u2019re typically under $50, too. You only need to wear the posture corrector for a few hours a day, according to the experts I spoke to, so if you plan well, you can easily hide it under clothes or wear it around your home.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-dfb91f\" class=\"body-graf\">That said, if you\u2019re considering buying the Power Bra, manage your expectations before you start wearing it.
