iPosture-Giveaway-lg

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED***

OMG, I love this thing.

It’s a rarity in this day and age for people to have good posture, what with our internet addictions, desk jobs and sedentary lifestyles. Fortunately, iPosture has come along with the perfect little reminder to sit up straight.

The iPosture is a little circular device you wear that vibrates when you slouch to remind you to straighten up. You can pin it on your shirt, wear it as a necklace or, to conceal it, clip it to your bra strap or use the adhesive tabs to stick it right to your chest.

Its super easy to set up: you literally clip it on, stand tall and press the button to set your good posture. If you slouch from that posture for more than 60 seconds, the iPosture vibrates quickly, once, to correct you. Just beware that the vibrating makes a noise, so if people are near you they are going hear it. The vibration is about the same sensation as your cell phone set to vibrate in your pocket, but much louder.

iPosture is offering one lucky winner to receive 1 iPosture device, adhesive tabs, two extra batteries, and a carrying pouch.

      This would be the perfect reminder to sit up straight while I'm at my desk all day! I used to sit on an exercise ball but my new office doesn't permit them :(

      I need this so bad! I have super bad posture, and though I've been working my core/shoulder/back muscles to aid in better posture, having a reminder would be nice.

      I need one for when I'm on the computer(..like now!)because always slouch over to look at the screen and then my back starts to hurt. So I sit up and then find my back hurting a little later because I'm slouched again! Thanks for the opportunity.

      I LOVE the idea of this product, I've wanted to try it forever! I have one leg nearly an inch shorter than the other, so I need this product to ensure that my spine is properly aligned. It would be very very useful to help protect my back and prevent any future possible issues. (I follow Twirlit on Twitter and have tweeted about this giveaway, too).

      I sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day and no matter how I adjust my chair, I find myself leaning over and slouching while I work. I have noticed my posture has been really affected by this in the last year. I could use a little vibrating reinforcement!

      This product seems so life-changing to me! I am too a desk-worker and this would be amazing (I am very posture conscious) - additionally, my partner has really terrible posture - he literally seems about 2 or 3 inches shorter than his actual height - it is definitely getting to the point of health concern. I think this would be a great help for him to learn to be conscious of it before it becomes a permanent issue!

      even though i've become more aware of my posture since i've gotten into yoga, i still find myself slouching during my two and half hour long grad school classes...this would help me remember!

      Thank you for these great contest giveaways! After having a baby last year, my back/posture really suffered - first from the big belly full of baby and then carrying my daughter everywhere. Everything is moved onto the floor including my computer and desktop to keep the baby from climbing and falling, so I'm often slouching from sitting on the floor. This iPosture would be of great help (especially if it has a shock feature). I follow on twitter as well :) Thank you again!

      I've noticed my posture getting worse, the more I'm on the computer. However, I might let my dd use this for a bit. She has horrible horrible posture for her age. I am always reminding her, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm worried about her, so I think this will be good for her.

      iPosture, please save me from middle-aged stoop! I will be 49 this fall and am turning into a shell-backed middle-aged slumper. The iPosture looks very cool and would be the perfect solution.

      September 5th, 2009 - 2:59:34 PM

      Vanity prevails..........slouching is soooo unattractive. Perhaps in some cases it reflects our inner selves and our not-so-high-self esteem (or maybe just straight laziness). In any case, this sounds like a great product. Pick me! Pick me! :)

      I need an iPosture because I am an awful sloucher! I have terrible posture due to my job as a home daycare provider. Constantly bending over to talk and play with the kids and babies, picking kids up, lifting them into and out of seats, etc. gives my back an awful time each day.

      This is awesome! I always try to improve my posture, but naturally I forget about 10 minutes later that I'm trying not to slouch! This would be especially good for me so that I can ensure that I have good posture by the time my wedding comes around in May -- don't want any slouching in the wedding pictures!

Not to mention I am only rocking the height charts at 5'1 to begin with :) so my slouching habit NEEDS TO STOP. ha. Fingers are crossed! Thanks :)
