Your back has learned the wrong shape.
Eight hours at a desk, then the sofa, then the phone. The shoulders roll forward, the chest closes, and after a few years that stops being a slouch and becomes your default.
You already know how to sit up straight. You just can't hold it for more than ninety seconds. AlignCore 2 holds it for you, so your back can relearn the position instead of fighting for it.
Wear it less than you think.
Two hours a day in week one. Three or four after that. Not eight — the brace holds the position, but your own back has to do the learning.
Which is why the goal is to stop needing it. Most people feel the difference on day one, and notice the real change three or four weeks in, when they catch themselves sitting upright with it still in the drawer.

Questions we get asked most
Which size do I need?
Measure your waist at the navel and match it to the chart — not your height, which is what most brands get wrong.
S 26–34.6" · M 33.8–38.5" · L 34.6–39.3" · XL 35.4–40.1" · XXL 37.8–44.1" · XXXL 38.5–44.8" · XXXXL 39.3–49.5"
The ranges overlap, so most people will match two or three sizes. Take the larger one. A brace you have to over-tighten is the single most common reason one ends up in a drawer — and if it still isn't right, we exchange it free.
Is it uncomfortable? Will it dig in?
It should feel like a firm hand between your shoulder blades, not a restraint. The straps are padded across the collarbone, and the stays come out if you want it gentler. If you feel pinching or numbness, it's too tight — loosen it by a couple of centimetres. Some people get a mild ache in the upper back the first few days, the same way you ache after using a muscle you'd stopped using.
How long should I wear it, and does the slouch come back when I take it off?
Two hours a day in week one, building to three or four. Deliberately not all day — the point is to train your back, not replace it. Worn that way, most people find the upright position starts holding on its own after three to four weeks. Worn eight hours a day from day one, you get a sore back and a brace you rely on. So don't.
Can I wear it under clothes? Can I wash it?
The back is a thin breathable mesh and it sits flat under a shirt or jumper — under a tight t-shirt you'll see the strap lines. Pull the stays out, hand wash cool, air dry flat. It arrives ready to wear, with none of the rubber smell you get from cheaper braces. AlignCore 2 is a posture support and comfort product, not a medical device.
When does it arrive, and what if it isn't right for me?
Orders leave within 1–2 working days and arrive in 5 to 12, tracked, with a link so you can follow the parcel. Once it's with you, you have 30 days: wear it properly for a month, and if your back and shoulders don't feel different, message us and we'll refund you in full.
