My shoulder is really flexible and it pops out frequently. I'm a sporty and small 16 yr old girl and want a comfortable shoulder support for woman.

I'm just like you. Small, flexible and had the same issues with my shoulder. It gives wonderful support without limitations.

This McDavid Shoulder support would work fine. I use it after exercise to warm up an injured shoulder. It allows me to keep moving but bring additional warmth and light support to my shoulder.

If you're looking for something that will prevent your shoulder from popping out, this isn't the brace for you. It's a light support with emphasis on "light." It's useless for any serious stability problems. The EVS Sports SB03 would be a better choice, but even that isn't going to keep your shoulder in place if you need to use it through the full range of motion.

As I use this device for posture support and do not have an injury I can put in on by myself. I adjust the tightness with it off first then I raise both hands over my head and slide it down so it is loosely on top of my shoulders. I then pull one shoulder back at a time to get it in position. Someone with an injury, such as a clavicle fracture which is what this device is designed for, would need assistance to get it in place.

Yes magnets help. and helps support so back doesn't hurt as much. I'm a large woman and it was small for me and pulled to hard on my shoulders.

I could not put it on by myself but part of that is because I have a stiff shoulder. If you have someone help you, especially to tighten it, then it might work. I, myself, could not do it alone. The small size was a part of the reason why. As for why some find it easy and others don't, I have no explanation.

It is not too firm...It melds into my body, so it gives me support, but is not stiff.

I am a average sized female as well and I love it. I have tendonitis in my wrist and elbow and also a shoulder injury and its much easier to work with than a regular mouse.

if it is one shoulder bothering you i would get a large and use a castor oil flannel pack and around the top securing with this gogo shoulder-be apprised that it is neopreme and smells. you will have to air out for several days before using unless you can stand the smell. i am about 185# and use the large and struggle to get it on, with that said, you would want a snug fit therefore the medium might be good for you. castor oil heals - look me up-www.miraclehealingoil.com or contact me at: dkukor39@gmail.com- right now i am wearing a mcdavid shoulder support with a castor oil pack on it since nov 14, will be using the gogo a little late.

I have not had that particular problem, even though I have a roll of skin. You can make the strap tighter or looser, so if the roll becomes a problem, I would just loosen the strap up. You can always add some velcro, if you need more room. I tend to wear the shouldersback, when I am at home in front of the computer or feel the need for support. Although it can be wore under clothing, I often put it on over a t-shirt at home. The primary thing at this point is to give my back some support, so I don't care what I look like. You can wear it under your shirt when out of the house, if need be.

I think you can wear it under a loose fit shirt but not slim fitted shirt because the straps are well padded. It will even make you look good on the shoulder muscle like you worked out a lot lol. It doesn't seem to contain metal. It's all fabric except the ring in the back seems to be hard plastic. A tip for you: some people say it's hard to put on, NOT TRUE. Try turn it up side down when you wear it. It works the same. This works very well for my husband, effective yet comfortable...until one day he got lazy and left it in the corner. So if you decide on buying it to help with your posture, do yourself a favor: try to stick to it. Good luck!

Can you? Sure I'd imagine but the weight gets pretty heavy on your shoulders after a while. This is perfect for the athletic female as it doesn't smash our breasts and can be adjusted to a small waist. That said, nope not bulky like mens. Would work under a sweatshirt or a baggy t-shirt. I really love it.

I would say this is for both males and females. It actually all depends on structure and shoulder width. For me, I naturally have wide shoulders causing it to cut in at my neck/collar bone with certain activities. There are 16 slots on the inside of the vest where 16, 2.5lb small sandbags (which are included) can be used to increase or reduce weight.

No, Pillows always worked best for me. I have had both shoulders repaired, this would be too high for my shoulder.

I would thinks so. It is pretty flexable when I was working at places that involved moving my shoulder in many directions.

the thing about the suspension straps they require you to incorporate a lot of assistant muscles to aid with the exercises I wouldnt recommend that for someone just starting to get back into working out maybe once you've been working out and you wanted to find the yourself further in your workouts and you need help with muscles that will stabilize your core and other routines a little bit more profoundly

Yes its fine,just the size alone is too big for me. To reach the bar hurts my arms because its to far away. I am not short or small . 5`5 height female. Must be better for a man or taller woman.

I'm 79 and own 2 Intelliskin shirts (non-zipper). I golf 3x a week, bike, and do astrophotography using some pretty heavy equipment. This winter I developed sore shoulders from snow shoveling and snowshoeing. I bought one shirt and liked it so well I got another. I wear them golfing, biking, and working in the yard. They give me extra support and my shoulder pain has eased greatly. Sizing is tricky. I'm a size 42 and the large seems to work best. I returned both a medium and extra large. The shirts do pull the shoulders back. They require getting use to them. At first you feel very restricted, but after wearing them for longer and longer periods of time they become more comfortable. I've worn them under golf shirts in some fairly hot weather. They also provide some degree of back support. I have not regretted my purchases.

I think your shoulder width is more of a concern here than your height. I am a little short and only a bit stocky. My shoulder width is ~21-22 and it is just right for me. If you are tall and wide or "normal", it might not be enough. If you are tall and skinny I think it will work. This is just speculation, but I would not think it wide enough for those whose shoulder width id greater than ~24.
