Ossur Formfit Back Support Non-Pneumatic - Medical Grade Compression and Support for Lower Back Pain (Large)

I order this brace because I was looking for something that would fit an obese person such as myself, that wouldn't roll on me, and that would hold my waist in instead of giving me a pinched looked - I am a fat person, I know, and a little narrow brace around my waist feels and looks horrible!. The largest brace I could find in the local stores was still too small, and the band was narrow and would constantly roll up on me, making it completely uncomfortable as it dug into my waist.This brace is very wide which definitely helps prevent some rolling, though I found that if I tried to wear it while sitting, it still tried to roll on me--but it was much better than the store brace I had! Plus it is wide enough that it holds my waist in - I don't have fat rolls hanging over the top (sorry for the disgusting image that might conjure, but it's a fact of life I deal with and wanted to prevent!)The problem I've been encountering is very bad back pain and stiffness whenever I must stand for periods of time for my job, and this brace definitely relieved that pain, and it isn't too uncomfortable.Pros:* wide length - stays around my waist, holds in my waist, and resists rolling better than narrower braces found in stores* good sizing - this brace will definitely fit according to the sizing it says it will - in fact, my is almost too large! If I manage to succeed in my diet and loose some weight, I'm going to have to go back and order the next size down!* good support - when I wear the brace, it does its job and relieves the strain on my back so that I can stand and work for hours without being in extreme pain or becoming stiff.*decently comfortable - it can take a bit to get it adjusted just right, and it does sometimes tend to slip on me, but over all, it's not uncomfortable to wear, even for extended periods during the course of a work day.Cons:* instructions on how to wear it are horrible - the pictures are tiny and in black and white and are very hard to see; the written instructions are poor at best. I had to really study the brace itself to finally figure out which way was up!

Great support. I need a belt if I walk more than a block or two and this really helps keep the back pain to a minimum. The extra padding for the small of the back is extremely helpful and it’s adjustable to your comfort level

This is my second one purchased. Prior one was tough and lasted a long time. Hope this one lasts as long.

THIS WELL CONSTRUCTED, FIRM, LIGHTWEIGHT, ADJUSTABLE BACK SUPPORT OFFERS GREAT LOWER BACK SUPPORT WHICH HELPS ALLEVIATE MY PINCHED NERVE PAIN. THE BELT DOES CAUSE A BIT OF MOISTURE IF THE DAY IS HOT AND WORN CONSTANTLY FOR LONG PERIODS, BUT IS EASILY CORRECTED BY REMOVING PERIODICALLY FOR A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME. TAPERED TO FIT THE BODY, NO PINCHING OR DIGGING INTO ABDOMEN. STIFF CONSTRUCTION DOES NOT ROLL UP AT TOP AND BOTTOM. REALLY A PERFECT, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCT. FITS TRUE TO SIZE, AND IS ADJUSTABLE WITHIN INCHES. I WEAR THE BELT OVER CLOTHING.

I use this in the gym hence why I bought it in the first place I messed up my back picking up a 45 lb plate soon as I did back went into extreme pain turns out I had a bulging disc trust me not fun at all so once that got better and I was able to workout I took no chances and bought this helps keep everything in place its comfy does a great job I also used it well golfing that helped all alot till my back got better

It is light weight and gives good support. I am very happy with this purchase.

Good solid back support. Sturdy enough for a 6"4" 225lb man. Flexible enough to be worn for extended periods as well. I'm very pleased with this item. I wear a 38" pant and the XL fits fine

Too flimsy for my use. I need heavier support. I returned the unit. Good Customer Support Though.
