I'm on the tightest setting and still don't feel enough support.Updated 3 hours ago

Etalon is intentionally on the subtle side because it's a gentle posture trainer, not a crutch. A rigid brace holds your shoulders in place for you, which means your muscles stop working and can actually weaken over time. Etalon does the opposite: it gives your muscles a gentle reminder of where they belong and lets them do the work, so they get stronger rather than more dependent. The subtlety is the point.

So rather than searching for a dramatic pull, here's the best way to feel it working: wear it for two to three hours a day, consistently, over about a week. By the afternoon, you should notice a mild fatigue in your upper back. That tired feeling is your postural muscles being activated, and it's exactly what's supposed to happen.

Keep in mind this builds over time, not in a single wear. Around 7 days your body adapts, around 21 days new habits start to form, and by about 90 days of consistent wear that alignment really stabilizes. If you go a full day (6+ hours), take the next day off so your muscles can recover and strengthen. And if it ever feels like a sharp pinch or pressure in one specific spot rather than a broad, gentle fatigue, that points to fit rather than setting, so reach out and we'll help you dial it in.
