I’ve always struggled with my posture. During my pageant years, I spent hours walking around the local photography studio where I worked in my 4 inch heels repeating over and over in my head, “shoulders back, tummy in”. For awhile, I’d won the battle.
But now, I spend so much time sitting at the computer in chairs that aren’t correct for this much computer usage — not to mention hours upon hours on the floor with Bo playing and reading books that my shoulders and upper back really pay for it. All the slouching I do during those activities that is…
Last week, I was sent the iPosture to review. It’s an easy to use device that attaches to a bra strap or necklace. When I would start to slouch the device vibrates, reminding me of the “shoulders back, tummy in” mantra of my younger years.
There is no doubt that improving ones posture can help with back pain, shoulder aches, etc. The iPosture also claims that women who improve their posture become more attractive and lose an average of 2 inches. I haven’t had the device for long enough to see those long-term effects but I could definitely benefit from losing those 2 inches!
iPosture has graciously agreed send a free iPosture to one lucky reader. All you have to do is leave a comment telling me how you would benefit from the iPosture.

I am a super sloucher! This would make my husband very happy!
I think this sounds like a great device. My husband is always telling me to stand up and stop slouching…I’d be interested in seeing how it works.
I’ve also added your button to my blog.
I am at the computer a ton, and this would help to eliminate that permaslouch!
i’m thinking that my back will feel so much better after a long days work
this is like having someone telling you to straighten up except you won’t have to hear their nagging voice, I could use this, I guess a good benefit would be I wouldn’t be slouching as much – that’s always a good thing
I wish you would have a longer review, I can’t really tell if it’s really effective, you didn’t say how you placed it on your body and it looks like exercise is also something that should be combine with the iposture, don’t care much for the name though…(sorry for the long comment)
I just had a baby and am readjusting to my body not being pregnant. This would be a great device to help me!
I have also struggled with posture. Too much computer work does it to you, and I am struggling to remember to keep those shoulders straight. AHH

I’ve been trying to correct my posture for quite a bit now, but somehow I always seem to start slouching again :/ I have back pain from my posture so this would hopefully keep me aware of my body enough to correct it for good, lol.
Oh my gosh – yes! I have slight scoliosis and really don’t want to be a hunched back old lady. I need something to remind me – just like this.
My posture is terrible! I could benefit from this because it might help with my back pain! Thanks.

I have such terrible posture that I’m pretty sure I’ve started shrinking. I really worry that I’m going to have a hump back (not joking.) It would also be nice if my bra straps would stop slipping off of my shoulders…
Wow, interesting. I took ballet for a looooong time, but always hated watching myself because I have such horrible posture.

I would LOVE this device. I used to have the best posture, as I played the violin for about 8 years. Once I quit that I got so lazy about my posture and now it’s horrible after sitting in a chair all day. Yuck. Thanks for the chance to win such a cool little gadget!
What an amazing product! I have terrible posture, so this would be great.
Come enter my Target GC giveaway!
After spending all evenings slouched over getting caught up on work, I would love something that would improve my posture!
never seen this but have gotten lazy and I don’t think until my back hurts
This would be great for my daughter. She is 5’9″ and all her friends are shorter than her. Needless to say she hunches over instead of standing tall!
Yes, I need this. (I’m sitting at the table, slowly hunching over and then snapping back into upright position.)
Sometime would you write a post on how you get the opportunity to do all these awesome reviews?
Wow, could I use this!
I’m a new mommy and have gotten into the really bad habit of breastfeeding slouched over. By the end of the day by back is screaming at me, but I’ve found I don’t remember to sit up straight until it’s too late.
By the way, I love your “Our Family” picture – so sweet!

This is AWESOME. I have never heard of it, but boy could I benefit from it. For the past 3 years straight I’ve been nursing a baby and packing one around at almost all times, and my posture has gone down the drain. I used to have great posture (as a pianist) and now I feel sloppy.

What an interesting item. Being a parent, my back has started to show the wear and tear from carrying babies, using the computer and snuggling on the couch. I would so use this to help get me back to standing straighter! Heck at 5’4″ I can’t afford to slouch and lose some height! Thanks for the chance to win and the great giveaway!

I have never heard of this before!!
My husband goes nuts over my posture – it’s not that it is horrible, but I forget sometimes the “shoulders back, tummy in” routine entirely too much and I slouch. He has excellent posture, and if I won this you would make HIM happy to have a wife who gets reminded by a third party to have proper posture
I might even wrap it up and give it to him for a Valentines gift
I kid.
I have such bad posture that’s made even worse by all the bending over when I do photography. It would really help with the pain I feel after shooting weddings!
I don’t have great posture and my back sure suffers from it. This would be neat to try, thanks!
Christina
I’d like to try this. My posture is awful. It’s hard to constantly remind yourself to sit up straight.

I’ve noticed that as my arthritis gets worse I tend to slump more than usual. It is getting worse as I age. I try to catch myself and correct the bad habits, but I’m not doing a great job at it.
this would be so great because I tend to hunch and i actually have sort of a bump in my neck/shoulder region because of it. it really bugs me. if this worked really well it would be a god send.

My posture is horrible. I’m short anyway and lately my son has commented that I look shorter. I also have the back pain. This product would really help these problems.
After being pregnant twice I could use some help with my posture, that’s for sure!
Thanks for offering it!

I work online, which means a lot of time sitting at the computer, and I know it’s been ruining my posture. I’d love to be less self-conscious when I go out about how I sit and stand

I am like you – I try to remember to have good posture, but sitting in a chair in front of a computer all day pretty much ensures that my posture will not be good. I’ve seen the ‘contraptions’ that you can attach to your bra, but thought it would be uncomfortable. This would be great – who couldn’t use to lose 2 inches from their waist?!
I think I would look – and feel – younger and more fit if I used this. This is the first time I have heard about this tool!

I have had scoliosis for as long as I can remember and I had to have rods put in my back four years ago. I am now starting to slouch again and am worried I will need surgery all over. This would be beneficial for me to remember although I have rods nthe botoom i need to keep the shoulders back and up.

I have a bad slouching problem and it gives me backaches. This would really help that.
I too sit at a computer most of the day, and this would be great to help me! thanks so much!

I’ve never had great posture. My coworkers used to point out that I was hunched over my computer and that would remind me to straighten up. Now I work from home and my coworkers can’t see me, so no one reminds me! By the time I’m in pain, it’s too late. I don’t want to be an old lady with a hump back!

I could benefit from it since I’m hunched over my computer all day long. My back is killing me by the time I get home! Thanks!
I so need one of those. I have had bad posture since I was in Kindergarten! (The teacher told my mother I must be retarded (her words) because I rest my head on my hand when I am sitting at my desk… and that started the bad posture I suppose?)
I am going to make sure I subscribe as well (I think I do already but I will check!)
I am a teacher, and am careful to have good posture when I am at school. When I am home, however, I tend to slouch, especially when I am blogging.
never seen a product like this before. I am always @ the computer slouching over so this would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway!
Ugh…My DD’s make me slouch, so this would be great!
margelina@comcast.net
I can’t even begin to tell you how much the Hubs would want me to have this. When we are in the store and I am not standing up straight he will literally call across the aisle “Hey Quasi” as in Disney’s movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He is always hounding me to stand up straight. Lol, he would get a kick out of this.
Wow, I have never seen a gadget for such a thing. Hours sitting in front of the computer have really worsened my posture!

I have really bad posture. I don’t think there is a way I WOULDN’T benefit! But less back pain would be wonderful!

What a great idea! I try to have good posture but it is hard!
I know I have atrocious posture and I have the back pain to prove it. I’ve been trying to work on this, so that would help me in my goal. A constant reminder not to slouch!

I really need this. the one time I went to the chiropractor, he told me my posture was so bad I could be the poster girl for it! :I
this would help me keep my good posture con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
I would benefit from this because I have bad posture and I am on the computer alot. I have neck pain because of all the slouching and leaning forward. I also think it would help me look better, having better posture.

What a cool thing. I have horrible posture with horrible back pain. All. the. time.

I would benefit because I know I slouch – especially at work – my back would feel soooo much better with this!
I’ve never heard of this product before, but I would benefit because
1) I have slight scoliosis.
2) I’ve been trying to sleep on my back for a while, but that’s not working.
3) I sit all day at work.
so thank you for considering me.

My back burns from sitting in the computer chair and it is most likely from the poor posture that I have. It hurts so bad!!!! I can’t afford to go to a chiropractor or massage therapist to get relief so maybe something like this would work to help me improve my posture. I have a chronic intractable pain disease that I live with every day already so the added back pain is a real bother for me. Thanks for the chance to win. Lisa
I would love to try this out. I really need it! I just got back from vacation and noticed my poor posture in alot of pics. I didnt realize slouched so much.
I so need something like this! I slouch so badly, but it just feels good to slouch. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have horrid posture and have been seeing a chiropractor since I was a kid. I would love to try this out!
i have scoliosis and have a tendency to slump over and hunch my shoulders. i would love to have my mom stop nagging me (totally ineffective) and try something that might really fix my posture!
i follow you on twitter! (aplotaxisamomum)
This looks great! I was told my posture sucks by my dr and he blames that on my degenertive disk disease in my back. This could probably help me
I slouch a lot. Partially becaus i’m blind and need to bend closer to things to see them and partially because I’ve gotten so used to slouching, I do it even when i don’t need to see
this would be a great way to remedy that 
Thanks for the giveaway

I try to remember to straighten up, but more frequently than not I’m slumped over.
i used to always have the best posture and would get comments from my dad (in my house, posture was a good thing, and my sisters were in short supply). but now that i have a job where i’m sitting for 8hrs and i’m a full time student, i carry all my stress in my shoulders and back. i have to see an accupunturist and everything! i would love to try iposture!
The iposture might help me sit up straight and help with some of my back pain

Before I had baby Blair I already slouched way too often. Now that I have an almost 3 month old, I find myself bending into whatever position makes her most comfortable. This does not help my posture. I slouch in my chairs and when walking. When I think about it, I try to suck my belly in but honestly that doesn’t last long.
I would LOVE to win an IPosture!!
