Solmyr Rib Brace Broken Rib Belt, Chest Brace Elastic Rib Support Brace for Men and Women, Chest Binder to Reduce Rib Cage Pain, Breathable Chest Wrap Belt for Sore or Bruised Ribs Support, Sternum

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.

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 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!

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!!!

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 have 2 cracked ribs, 3 & 5 This brace secures them so I can function. I take off periodically just so I can inhale and exhale deeply because this brace does compress the lung function
