The Most Popular Item I’ve Ever Posted About is Still Going Strong
During the baby years of this blog I wrote about activewear that does more than just look cute. In other words, activewear with a purpose. And today, several years later, this is still my most visited blog post ever. From this post, I have sold and continue to sell more of this one product than any other product I have ever posted about combined! So I thought it was time to talk about it again. I wanted to check in with the brand and see what changes they made since I wrote my last post… especially in this month when I take a little break from the usual fitness content and focus on all things health and wellness.
So, I guess the obvious question is what’s the product? What would you say if I told you that it’s a $200 sports bra. I know, it sounds crazy that anyone would spend that much money on a sports bra let alone all of you who made this my most purchased product ever! But this is not just any sports bra. If I told you that this sports bra is really medicine, then would you spend $200 on it? Maybe. If I told you that this sports bra is a posture correcting sports bra that actually works immediately while wearing it and will eventually work when you are’t even wearing it. And it’s cute and comfortable. Well… intrigued? Don’t just take my word for it. A little lady named Taylor has since made this expensive sports bra quite popular when she was seen wearing it while training for her Era’s Tour. And yeah, she swears by it without any paid endorsement from the brand, Forme.
Forme created “patented posture transformation technologies” that “improve appearance, recovery and back health.” Their posture correcting products (because there are more products than just the bra) relieve back pain and fix spinal and musculoskeletal disorders, all without surgery or medication. The Forme “wearables” instantly transform your body’s alignment, decrease neck tension, increase spine extension, and increase chest expansion for better breathing. And with continuous smart phone usage, Forme is here to prevent and correct all the bad stuff that happens when we stare down at our phones all day long. But the best part — Forme’s technologies engage muscle memory so your improvements remain even when you aren’t wearing the sports bra.
My original first impression of the Forme bra from a few years ago was this: “Not only was the bra super comfortable, but I felt the effects right away! And that’s the thing with the Forme garments: they immediately put your body in better alignment offering long lasting posture improvement and pain relief over time. The bra somehow pushed my shoulders back and my upper back straight without being rigid or uncomfortable. In fact, the opposite happened. I immediately felt more comfortable wearing this bra. When you sit up straight and your body is properly aligned, your lungs can move air better, your digestive system can do its job better, and the tension you hold in your upper back and shoulders immediately dissipates. Like holy shit!” So back in 2022, I thought this bra was totally worth the price tag, and I stand behind that statement today. And just wait till you see the most recent upgrades from Forme.
Since the last time I wrote about Forme, the company has added a few products and made some adjustments to old styles. Back in 2022, I fell in love with the Power Bra. The Power Bra is the OG posture correcting bra that improves your alignment for better health and appearance. And I even love the new Power+ Bra that Forme just sent me more. This upgraded bra includes removable cups and wider underarm openings. I find it more comfortable and easier to get on. I still wear my true to size, medium. And there is now inclusive sizing with the Power Bra, going up to 3XL. There are seven pretty colors to choose from (back in the day there were only 2) and I got the color Chocolat.
The Power Bra also now comes with a skincare upgrade, the Collagen Power Bra that has collagen infused fabric and a roomier fit for less compression in the front. The Revive Bra is another upgrade with the very best posture correcting technology available. This bra has a higher neckline for the “strongest upper body support” and is recommended for musculoskeletal benefits. The Revive Bra helps restore mobility, relieve discomfort and build foundational strength.
These sports bras are great for everyday wear, while traveling and for recovery days, but guys, definitely wear this bra when you workout. It will help with alignment and proper form while exercising, which will in turn make you stronger, make your workouts more effective, and help prevent injury.
There are also posture correcting tee shirts, long sleeve tops and even scrubs available for both men and women from Forme.
Don’t stop at the waist because Forme now also makes posture correcting leggings to complete the fit and give you even more health benefits. The Sculpt+ Legging uses “patented multi-panel, multi-layer high waistband technology that engages muscle memory in the core, glutes and spine.”The light compression of these leggings delivers support to your lower back and core while allowing for movement and all day comfort. This Legging is recommended by physicians for low back pain, hip stiffness, post-surgery recovery and postpartum care. I sized up to a medium in these leggings and love the fit. They stay put without rolling down or bunching up and are stretchy and moveable, even with all that support.
And I was so excited to learn that Forme also now makes socks. Sign me up for anything that can help comfort my overworked feet! The Ankle Guard Socks “align and stabilize the ankle and foot arch muscles” to reduce sprains, improve foot instability and deliver a light compressive hug to the feet. This sock is great for injury recovery, managing chronic foot or ankle pain or to stay supported through long days on your feet.
You know I love to give away my favorite products to you all. So when I heard that a lot of medical professionals wear Forme to help them get through grueling shifts on their feet, I had an idea to give back to the medical community during this month of health. And Forme jumped on board to give a posture correcting sports bra and arch booster socks to the winner. So this weekend, be sure to check out my Instagram and nominate your favorite healthcare provider for this special giveaway!
