Get Relief While You Sleep

"I threw away 3 shoulder braces before I found one made from this." Actually, I didn't throw them away. They're still in a drawer in my bedroom, and havn't been used in over a year. The black neoprene one that made me sweat through my shirt within an hour. The beige one with all the straps that rode up every time I moved. The expensive one my physical therapist recommended — worked great during the day, but too bulky and rigid to sleep in. Three braces. Three failures. All in the drawer. Here's what I didn't understand until recently: the problem was never compression. Compression works. The problem was the material. Neoprene traps heat. That's why you sweat. That's why it gets uncomfortable. That's why you stop wearing it after a few hours — right when your shoulder needs it most. Then I found a brace made from bamboo fiber. I know. Bamboo. I almost scrolled past it too. But bamboo is naturally thermoregulating — keeps your shoulder warm without trapping heat. Moisture-wicking, so no sweat. And soft enough to actually sleep in. That last part mattered most to me. My shoulder hurts worst at night. The one time I needed support the most was the one time I wasn't wearing anything. Now I wear it to bed every single night. First brace I've ever been able to do that with. 60-day guarantee. If it ends up in the drawer with the others, send it back. But I don't think you'll send it back.
