Does this product hurt/dig into your armpits? I bought another one which works well for my posture, but digs painfully into my armpits.

I don't find it to be uncomfortable--it does not dig into my armpits or anywhere else. But I do wear it over a shirt and do not wear it all day, so I could see it may possibly be an issue if you were to wear it all day.

In my experience, it has a little, but I would only wear it for 30 minutes to an hour each day. The tighter it is adjusted, the more it seems to dig into your armpits. I tried to move the shoulder straps a little farther out, almost to the sides of my shoulders / deltoids, to help pull my shoulders back. It seemed to work, but it's always going to feel a little uncomfortable restoring proper posture, but it was worth it.

Its not an antiperspirant. But I don't feel it makes you sweat more than with regular antiperspirant deodorants either and neither it has to my friend (we are both women) who works out every single day for 2 hours. I have read some reviews of men with excessive perspiration who say they perspire more with this. If you work out you will sweat of course, but you will smell the difference in your shirts, they will smell like regular sweat only, not foul smelling. But it is healthier to sweat you know, remember the armpit has glands that get rid of toxins through sweat, toxins that if accumulated might cause cancer. Its just has antibacterial properties so your armpit will not smell bad at all, it won't smell like anything actually. You do have to make sure you put it well in ALL the armpit area and a little to the sides. Put it on after showering, after you get the rock wet, if you put it on after you have sweated and smell bad the rock with absorb the bad odors. Dont leave it on a wet surface or it will dissolve & be extra careful not to drop it. One single rock salt can last for more than 2 years. I recommend you try it and see how it works for you, maybe your body might need a few weeks of extra perspiration to adjust to releasing the accumulated toxins from conventional deodorants and for your armpit pores to unclog from the the antiperspirant. I highly recommend this brand.

I apply at night and take showers in the morning after a 1 hour work out. I scrub my armpits and it's still effective for the next couple of days. I also had my doubts but for me it's working as advertised.

I have one (not sure it's the same brand) on my steering wheel, and it feels really comfortable to me. I don't hold the steering wheel in a death grip! That said, I bought this one - the Bell Automotive 22- etc. - for my sister, because she has painfully arthritic hands. She never used it - actually threw it away, because it had a terrible odor. I'm unsure if it was like formaldehyde or skunky/musky, but it was intolerable. It wasn't that expensive, so we decided she'd just throw it away. I haven't pursued another brand with Amazon or checked automotive stores.

Don't try it. I wore it most of yesterday. By the time I was getting ready for bed I was irritated by having it on. My skin is a little sensitive and it's pretty uncomfortable laying down with it on, especially if you toss and turn like I do.

You know, I've never thought about it. I bought this years ago and it DID work (I'll bet it's still in my nightstand). It DOES make sense that it would work the area under the chin if I flexed it. Thanks for the question! Good idea.

I always wear it on my bare skin. If I use it at work, then I try to sneak away during lunch and remove the brace for a few minutes. It does get a little sweaty and uncomfortable, but for the most part it's great. It provides me with the support I need and improves my posture. I haven't tried washing it, my only concern would be rusting the metal springs.

I do. It is a pulling sensation the first couple times. Maybe a five? After a couple times, it did not hurt at all. After using it for several years, I am down to needing to use it once every few weeks.

Hi Michael Honestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite

I'm 67 with wrinkled skin myself. It works great. Just be sure to stretch out the skin area that you are applying the Emjoi to. As long as you hold the skin taught there is no problem and no pain at all for me. I use it under my armpits and it works great. Hope this helps you.

It doesn't correct posture permanently, it only helps. So I use it when my back is hurting to help. I will say it's the best one on the market. It just helps you from not hunching over.

I'm not a doctor, but I cannot imagine using this under your arms!!! It burns like hell! And why in the world would you even want to? Now the elbows? Sure!! But the more sensitive the skin, the more it burns! YOUCH! It works great on your face BTW.

it peeled my skin. I dont know why. Maybe I have a very sensitive skin because it peeled my armpit

I was in the same situation and ordered a small. It fits me really well, and I even ordered a second one. I was worried about it being too tight, but it fit fine right when I put it on my elbow. I'm female with toned but lanky arms -- but I went with this choice because I read several reviews (I believe by men) where they dropped down one or even two sizes just to get more compression and had good results. I wear the sleeve for working out, so if you're wanting to sleep in it or potentially even wear it all day, however, your choice might be different.

I do, and my daughter does, too. If you aren't used to it, it may take getting used to, but you can. I will say that you need to be careful around the tender skin at the front of your armpit. It is easy to catch that skin.

It helped me. My posture was horrible. It felt very uncomfortable at first but it forced me to sit up and back straight. After a month I started to get used to sitting in a straighter position. I still use it one year later. I definitely recommend this product.

I agree, that yes, it works great for underarms. However, once you use it on your underarms you have to continue using it. Otherwise it hurts with a regular razor. I first used it on that area about 3 months ago, and have been trying to use a regular razor there since!...it still hurts. I would use it all the time, but I don't keep it in the shower, and don't think to charge it often enough.
