Solmyr Chest Brace

After rolling my car 3 times and fracturing 9 ribs, I was desperate for some relief and stability. This brace is comfortable, easy to use, my ribs felt supported, and my ta-tas weren’t smooshed like they were with the hospital binder. The Velcro is great quality and made it easy to adjust from sitting to standing and it stayed in place. I have told all (of my many) doctors and physical therapist about this brace.

I was-having a hard time finding protection and support for my sternum. For what i need, this immediately made things feel better and gives mid chest protection. Maybe im wearing it backwards. Doesnt matter. The protection and supoort is where its needed to give chance for bones to repair and decrease further damage. Its not terribly uncomfotable either because each band is afjusted to my size and i dont need help gettong it on though its a bit tricky alone. Ohhh what a relief...

I bought this to help hold everything in place while recovering from open heart surgery. It is hugely helpful with the pain when moving, coughing or laughing.

Fits well and does the job. Likes: 1. The main brace itself seems to be constructed pretty well. 2. Plenty adjustable with good support. Dislikes: 1. The material has a rubbery smell. 2. The shoulder strap came unstitched where the elastic meets the Velcro pad the first time I wore it.

I bought this after a car of Shingles and honestly, couldn't wear a bra - but this was not painful at all to wear! As a runner, running helped the shingles pain, and this even took the place of a Sport's bra very successfully for shorter runs, but quite a bit of chafing for a 20 miler... that said, I don't expect others who buy this would likely be using it in that way... I found it so helpful though - just don't do long distance running in it!!!

Just started wearing my brace for cracked ribs. It fits well and I was able to get in and out of my car due to wearing brace. So glad I bought it. Not using the shoulder strap.

I thought it was going to work really well as I needed a rib support up high under my armpit. It was staying high and was very supportive. Then I started feeling something poking me at my waist and ended up discovering that the rib under the other arm had made a hole in the brace material and was sticking out and sticking me. Returned it.

I managed to bruise my rib, something I do not recommend for anyone due to the excruciating pain, but if you do, I highly recommend this brace, especially if you bruised an upper rib. I tried to wrap it up with all different sizes of elastic bandages, but I felt no real relief. Once I received this and put it on, I actually felt instant relief! It was actually comfortable and I was able to breathe without pain! For the women: I am not small breasted. I'm a 38D. I got the one with 3 straps and they are very adjustable so I was able to get a good fit without crushing myself. The lower strap provided support, kept the brace from slipping, and the added benefit of not having to wear a bra! LOL! My actual healing time was a lot shorter than I thought it would be as well. I hope you never need this for a bruised rib, but if you do, I highly recommend it!

Me operaron del corazon y probe otros soportes incluso dajas y esta definitivamente es la mejor. Me siento muy segura y la puedo aguantar varias horas. Lo malo es que el material del que está hecho te hace sudar y tener mucho calor. Eso hace que me la quiera quitar pues la blusa la tengo empapada de sudor.

Had open heart surgery needed a secure brace. Found it comfortable and easy to put on. Did feel very vunerable without one and this secured it. Great.
