New posture bra from Etalon secure’s FDA registration

California-based brand Etalon has received registration from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its newly launched posture bra.

The Etalon posture bra, now recognized as an FDA-registered posture-support garment, aids women in maintaining proper back alignment throughout the day, effectively preventing back pain while seamlessly integrating into the modern woman’s lifestyle.

The FDA registration confirms that the bra, which was previously approved by UCSF orthopedic experts, meets its standards to aid with posture correction. As such, the brand and its posture bra are now eligible for Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) purchases, ensuring the bra is financially accessible for more customers in need of posture alignment.

According to the parent company, Wear Etalon Corporation, approximately 65 million Americans experience poor posture, and 40 percent report suffering from sciatica. Lower back pain, often resulting from prolonged computer use and a sedentary lifestyle, is among the most prevalent conditions in the United States, affecting 25 percent of adults.

This issue is particularly challenging for women with large busts, whether naturally large or due to changes from pregnancy, aging, or other factors. Research indicates that an increase in breast size can exacerbate upper back pain, with each size increment contributing to a 13 percent likelihood of developing such pain.

The Etalon posture bra, developed by Kristina Rudzinskaya, a STOTT-certified Pilates and Yoga instructor, is designed to help women with posture alignment, handling spine conditions and back pains while helping women with a larger bust by additional support and even weight distribution. It features unique patent-pending technology that gently guides shoulder blades to their optimal position without stressing the body.

“As a certified Pilates instructor, I realize the crucial role posture plays for our healthy aging, physical well-being, and mental health,” said Kristina Rudzinskaya, CEO and founder of Etalon, in a statement. “However, posture improvement should not be a chore that demands extensive gym time – it should be a natural part of our daily lives. When developing Etalon, it was important for us to provide a balanced blend of style and functionality in a product that women could seamlessly integrate into their busy lifestyles.

The Etalon bra offers soft, flexible support, making it ideal for fitness activities, stretching, and yoga. Made from rPET, a durable fabric derived from recycled plastic bottles, the bra also includes a compression style for cup support and a pocket for additional inserts. Designed to be worn as a top or bra, the Etalon is available in inclusive sizing up from E to H.

The new Etalon posture bra is available for pre-order, with prices starting at 149 USD. In the future, the brand plans to expand its bra line to cover the needs of pregnant women and mothers in postpartum and introduce a line specifically designed for men.
