BraceAbility Plus Size 5XL Bariatric Back Brace - Obese Support Girdle for Lower Lumbar Back Pain in Big and Tall, Extra Large, Heavy or Overweight Men and Women (Fits 67"-73")

This I brought for myself and it helps me with my lower back pain

👍

Kept my back straight. Rolled a lot. Only worked for a couple of hours. When it did work, it made me much more comfortable.

Update 11/17/2016: After trying on the same brace two sizes smaller, I did immediately notice a better-feeling fit. However, the placement and/or length of the loop or pile strip for fastening the hook strip on the tensions straps is still insufficient for any noticeable amount of tension. Those really need to be extended for greater tension.That said, I still did not notice any great deal of support from the stays. While wearing the brace as tightly as I could wrap it, I walked around for a little under 10 minutes and then I started to feel my lower back muscles ache. It was only when I revisited the BraceAbility website to double-check the sizing chart, I realized this may be the incorrect brace for my particular issue.BraceAbility does make another brace specifically for lower back support and its largest size happens to match that of the regular back brace I was trying on today, so I am returning the braces I received today and ordering the Bariatric Low Back Support Belt instead. Hopefully, this will better meet the support needs I have. I am also raising the rating on this brace by a star. I still believe the design can be improved, but it's unfair for me to rate it poorly if indeed it's the wrong brace for what I need.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Original review: I followed the sizing guidelines provided on BraceAbility's own website for this brace and once I received the size I ordered, it fit too loosely to provide any support to my lower back area.The areas along the length of the brace and tightening straps where the velcro can be secured are sparse and do not allow for much variable adjustment.After reading so many other reviews on here about poor fit, I'm guessing either the sizing methodology is flawed or the expectations for support on the part of the end-users are misunderstood by the manufacturer.Speaking for myself, I need the ability to fit the brace tightly so the support it provides is essentially the equivalent of me leaning against a wall to take the strain off my lower back area.The size I ordered, per the sizing chart from the manufacturer, doesn't come close to providing any noticeable support. I will be returning it and have ordered both of the next two sizes down in an effort to save time in finding the right fit. Hopefully one of them works as expected.If I can find the right size and it provides the level of support I'm expecting, I will update the product review and rating.

Do not follow the size chart! it is so way off! measured everything told to & checked it with chart. ordered appropriately. was so big I could wrap it around me almost 2 times! I hate online clothes purchases in any form, if can't try it on and see quality, good luck in getting what you think you are getting. Love brick & Mortar stores!

Nice

Runs big. I'm going to reorder and try a size down.

Adam was great it just didn't fit me I will order it right size
