FIRST RATE support and pain relief. A full price paid review
May 15, 2016
About a decade ago, I had a back fusion that has caused me intermittend problems. My lower back would tighten up and I would have pain severe enough that I could not walk or participate in activities. I tried many things, including TENS, hot cold, rxs, you name it. As a last ditch effort I ordered this lumbar brace to replace the surgical one(s) I had been using but were getting old. Immediately it eased some of my pain. Right out of the box (which was easy to open) I was able to understand the way the belt worked and the direction it should go on. This belt has (you can see fom the picture) extra bands to tighten (or loosen) the back to suit support and pain levels. I wore the belt resting and over my clothes. Wearing it over my clothes felt a little more supportive. Over time, the pain went away from wearing the belt, and when I forgot to wear it, it sure let me know I felt better putting it back on. Overall, I feel it is really healing me from these additional injuries and insults my back has had since surgery. Compared to other things I have tried, I feel this is the first thing I would use, and in conjunction with a topical pain spray, I have better pain control. I would say the belt cuts my overall pain in half. This is a full price paid review. [...]. I am happy to answer any questions about the product or my review. I would give a buyer confidence grade of "A" for this back belt. It is quality constructed and does what it say. Thanks for reading.

It supports your back and has two layers of straps to secure around your waist without the back strap loosening.
CONS: The lower back support does not have much material, function or much anything to constitute back support. It’s very irritating on the skin due to the material, better over a shirt. Also it’s difficult to center on your spine.
I don’t have major lower back problems nor am I diagnose with one. I’m average fit guy, 5’11” 170 pds who works out regularly. I assume the strap is suppose to be the back support. I do not recommend this to anyone with minor or chronic lower back pain and if you’re looking for some lower back support this is not it
Don’t buy, I would return it if I could which is also odd

Made bending, sitting, moving too difficult. It dug into my stomach to much to be active in. I could see it helping if you were standing like maybe at a cash register all day and pretty much standing in place not doing a lot of movement. But that's not what I needed it for so it didn't work for me.

I really want to like this brace as it does support my back/lessens pain. (I have fibromyalgia with lower back pain that's aggravated by excessive activity so I got this for work as I'm on my feet and bending over a lot) however, as one reviewer said, there's no elastic on the back part of the brace, only the front, so it puts a lot of pressure on my stomach and gives me nausea/stomach pain. I have a sensitive stomach so it could just be a personal issue. It is very well made. I want to hopefully find a way to keep using it.

This brace feels good for support and just fine if I wear it over a shirt. This is where the problems lie, 1) wearing over shirt causes shirt to bunch up and I find myself constantly having to pull it back down and re-adjust it. 2) The reason for wearing over shirt, it is extremely uncomfortable against bare skin and is fairly itchy, the discomfort sets in immensely once sweating begins to occur. I work construction and they advertise this as wearable on skin during work-outs and sweat-prone activities which is the reason I bought it. For that reason it is only worth 3 stars. If they change material and make it more comfortable against skin, such as my old Mueller brace it would get 4.5-5 stars without issue.

I have a 40" waist, which is right in the middle of the quoted size range for the 'L/XL" version of this product. However, it only fits me when I have nothing on but underwear. Put on a pair of pants with a belt and it will not close. Now, when it is in place it is nice and supportive but I can't wear it with normal clothes on and don't want to wear it under my clothes. Fortunately another family member can use it, I had to order a 2XL which should not have been necessary if their sizing was correct. Well-made in other respects, which is why I was willing to try the larger size.

Not as good as the much more expensive S.P.I.N.E. brace that has a rigid plastic plate in the small of your back, but better than nothing for heavy lifting. You can adjust the amount of support which is very useful, as the tighter positions are uncomfortable and only needed during the lifting. This allows the user to release tension and wear the belt comfortably until next needed when it can be tightened up.

Got this a replacement for a lower back support I forgot in a rental car. The previous brand isn't available, got this one.
It's ok but definitely doesn't measure up to the previous one. I don't like the scratchy itchy rather rigid fabric. Also it doesn't fit on my body as well as the previous did.
Kept it to have something when need the support.

Holds around the waist pretty well. Over the course of 10 uses the material started to buckle together, from bending. I use this as a way to save my lower back while working on house projects, so I would have expected a bit more durability when flexing the materials. Overall a decent product for the money.

Starts to fall apart after a month snd didn’t use it but for like a wk straight then 3wks later again. Then notice after the actual 2nd wk of actual use the string is coming look and if u pull it more will come loose. Not worth it

Despite the name, this product does not provide any help to my lower back. Returned and got a Mueller 255 Lumbar Support Back Brace. Perfect for keeping me working long hours in the garden.

Decent belt does the trick, I only gave 3 stars though because it's a bit wide and squeezes at the waist , Thankfully I found my old one under the bed :)
