Sacroiliac SI Joint Hip Belt - Lower Back Support Brace for Men and Women - Pelvic Support Belt - Trochanter Belt - Sciatica Pelvis Lumbar Hip Pain Relief (Regular)

I finally found something that helps with my lower back pain due to lower belly-hang. For me it was immediate relief! After buying and trying belts, girdles, panty/girdles, surgery belts and what have you, for the first time in years I have relief from my lower back pain. I'm amazed and so happy!As I've gotten older, (69), and due some to lack of activity after having to leave my job due to disability, I started getting some lower belly-hang that was pulling on my lower back. I have hurt for so many years that it has caused me to be even more inactive, and has sent me to doctor after doctor for some suggestions and relief. I can't believe no one suggested a medical belt or something like this. This belt, that I found while searching Amazon once again for something to try, had some good reviews for a few other people suffering from what I thought was the same as myself and I thought what the heck, I'll spend the money and at least try it. I was getting desperate for some relief and ordered it.When it came I was skeptical, but after putting it on and adjusting it a little, oh my gosh! I was able to stand up straighter....no back pain! It hits just the right spot holding up my belly, and I can't say enough about the ability to stand without pain in my back!When your back hurts, it robs you of your normal quality of life. I couldn't exercise as I wanted to try to strengthen my tummy muscles, and in fact I didn't feel like doing anything physical. I haven't even had a good night's sleep in years, so I'm eternally tired. Now that I have this support belt, I'm looking forward to taking walks to start moving around again and maybe start exercising some on some stationary bikes at my clubhouse. And(!), I look forward to cleaning my house like I used to, though I have to ease into that. I've had to hire help for that, and that gets expensive! Just the thought that I can stand longer at my kitchen sink to do dishes, or bake, do laundry, make my bed....it's the best I have felt physically and mentally in a long, long time.This will not help everyone, I understand that. But it is helping me. Immensely.You can't believe what a life changer this is going to be.Ok, now to facts of the order and product. I ordered the XL-XXL belt in black, mainly to make sure I had some "playroom" to adjust if needed. I was afraid of ordering too small and having to return it for a larger size, but this works for me. I might have gotten away with the next size smaller, but for my hips, (46"), I went for the size recommended.When I took it out of the package there is an odor, but I think it's a rubber smell. Stinky, but I think that will go away after wearing it and airing it out some.I wrapped the belt from behind to my front, made sure my belly was supported correctly, and used the main velcro to secure it. (Easy!) Then took the attached side velcro straps to tighten it a little. I'll have to find my perfect tension but I was happy right away. It fit well, and seems very well sewn together. It's not flimsy.It's sturdy. The belt also shipped pretty fast, I think I had it about 4-5 days after ordering.I know this belt will not be for everyone, but for me it is such a winner!Sorry for the long review, but for the first time in years I feel optimistic about my pain free future and dealing with and strengthening my lower back muscles.I hope if you have back pain due to lower belly problems that this helps you decide whether to try it or not. If it doesn't help you, you can always return it.I'm keeping mine!

I was looking for something that wasn’t too stiff and allowed me to move yet give me support. I found it in this belt. It is very comfortable to wear and adds just enough support. I used it for bowling and long walks. Worked like a charm. Even recommended it to a bowling friend whose back was much worse than mine and she was thankful. It helped her just enough for bowling. It is easy to put on and adjust with the 2 stretchy bands. You can adjust it for more or less support. It doesn’t feel cumbersome at all and I wear it under clothing without issue. I would recommend.

Only rated 4 stars because I have only worn it a few times. I keep forgetting to put it on, but when I do, it seems as though my sciatic problems are lessened.

I noticed the difference in my pain level within 30 minutes of putting this belt on. Worked so well I purchased a second one the next day, one for exercise and the other for not so sweaty times.

I was suggested by my obgyn and PT therapist to get this belt for my pelvic pain due to pregnancy. The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because it didn't work for THAT issue. Why? Because my 9-month belly is too big already so when I sit down, the belt dug onto my lower belly AND my legs at the same time. From a standing position, I did feel the support I wanted to feel and can imagine I would've felt some relief. The velcro hold was good too.

Life saving for lower back pain with hip pain. I was finally able to sleep better and have better balance getting out of bed. Pain still there a bit with 2 Herniated disc at l4&l5-S1. Definitely should have bought sooner.

It's amazing what a difference this belt makes! I can move better now that my hips are where they're supposed to be!

I bought it for my father and he claims it’s more comfortable than those other big ones!
