Two Thumbs Up, May 22, 2010
I've tried on a few back braces in my day, but this one I really like. Without giving you a dissertion, here are what I consider to be its best features:
1) easy to use- just wrap it around and velcro together the big elastic band. Then take the outer elastic band and velcro it- that's it. Tighten it up as little or as much as you like.
2) it has a tapered cut in front- much easier on the ab area than most braces that aren't tapered down
3) it has eight steel springs in the low back part in back to support your spine. If this sounds uncomfortable, don't worry- the suckers are FLEXIBLE and quite comfortable.
4) while very supportive and firm, I can actually breathe normally in the thing
Okay, what didn't I like about it? Not much. The only negatives I see is that it might not fit huge people. I have a 32 inch waist and its quite fine for me, but if you were really big, I don't know. You can return the product though. The other thing was, you have to hand wash it- which may be a bigger deal to some people more than others.
Altogether this is a great brace and I'd buy another one if I needed too. A little extra support for your back when doing a lot of chores is always a good thing. For those with back pain and are looking for a few quick and effective back exercises, I liked

Back Attack Cure, September 29, 2009
When your lower back hurts and you need relief use this belt! I am a very generous sized woman and this belt actually fits! My back pain was so severe when the mailman delivered this product. I tore it open, read the instructions, did I mention I am a woman?; I put it on and about ten minutes my back was happy again. Thank you Dr. Mueller for inventing a belt that does not roll up on my rolls. Thank Amazon for having this brace!

very good, December 1, 2007
I bought the brace for my husband.He had one before and he was satisfied of it,he tried a few different brands that stand for back support,but this belt is the real deal,he said .It really does what it's made for and it's the same price.The other brands did nothing,but create more trouble than help.It was money well spent and if there is anybody who has lower back problems,I'll say:"Get one!"
