Returned. I wear a size 12 jean or dress or a M or L pants or shirt. Ordered the XL based on item recommendations and it was too tight around the waist and not comfortable, also no directions. Ordered a XXL and it was just not comfortable, ok at waist but long and the shoulder/upper part was too hard to figure out how to wear correctly. Directions were for the wrong item this time. Returning both.

This is third back brace I ordered. First two were returned because they were too short wasted and not enough support at lumber and same with thorastic. This brace is dynamite!! Finally

I have tried several braces similar to this one and have returned or thrown them away. This one I will keep! I ordered the XXL as I am very overweight, and it just barely fit over my stomach. Hopefully that will get better. :) The metal stays really help! I do recommend getting assistance when putting it on, at least for the first time or two That assistance will allow you to more easily decide how to bend/position the metal stays, placing them against your upper back, just below your your neck. Expect, at least initially, to learn that there are pressure points that are unavoidable, and may be uncomfortable, it is large and will be warm after wearing for a while. Highly recommended!

As a tall, (female) former long-time athlete, I have tried many, many things as in belts or support equipment for the lumbar region and now all the way up to the shoulders. If you need support from your lowest back areas and are tall, this is the first support system that can cover all that area, firmly, adjustable, yet light weight. As I aged, I found my shoulders and upper back needing support as well. And, yes, this unit was able to adjust all the way up to help keep my posture erect while keeping my lower back supported well during the times, I have need for it. Never over tighten, tighten so you 'feel' the support. I highly recommend this.

The sizing info is way off. Amazon gave a notification when I bought “frequently returned item” - 2 things helped me - my wife bought one a culé of years ago. I tried hers (she’s 5’6” 122 lbs) it was wayyy small f me , but when I looked it said Large. OK - I’m 5’11” weigh 180 have a 35” waist. The sizing info had me as a Large - after trying my wife’s I said - no way - I tried to order an X-Large but no stock. So, I thought I’d take a chance and go XX-Large. Thankfully, I did, because even that is pretty tight. It works anf fairly well designed, but not as good as the one my wife bought 2 years ago.Other braces have the Velcro better distributed, so that if you wanted to relax the belt (say, while you were trying to eat) you could loosen and attach anywhere. Not this one. It attaches only at designated points which are not generous, and you have to completely let the brace go slack and fall off. Not great. Nevertheless, wearing it stretched tight and fully attached, it works and is not uncomfortable. Trying to eat while it is stretched tight is not comfortable, however.

I have scoliosis and a severely tilted pelvis. This was suggested by my surgeon. I love love love it! It’s changed my life. Easy to fit following the instructions given under the item on line and so comfortable. I remove the back steel rods ( just push out) to wear out shopping, walking,dancing and much more. I can now bend to feed my 20 stray cats!! I am short waisted so my brace comes up a little higher but also gives me a fantastic bust line and a waist like Cher! So happy to look more normal, build muscle to reduce my pain and live a more normal life. Don’t suffer for 5 years as I did. I never want to take it off.

Great product but the sizing is wrong .I’m normally a large ordered a XL should have ordered XXL. But I am wearing it and the support although a wee bit tight is great. The arm straps pinch under the arms .. but other that have got relief from my back pain !

I am pleased with this brace. It gives good support of both shoulders and back. Be certain that you order the right size. My waist is 25-1/2" and hip across the upper pelvis where the bottom of the brace sits is 30-1/2". I ordered the size Medium and it fits well if cinched up tight. Order the size that matches the largest area whether it is upper stomach or hip area as I did. It enables me to lift and move things without hurting my back and keeps my shoulders back so that my rotator cuff injury is not aggravated. If you shape the two support pieces so that they match your curvature it makes it pretty comfortable. I even wear it under my clothing and it is barely noticeable. The only issue I have is that it tries to ride up and irritates my neck a little bit, but I just pull it back down and pull my blouse up to provide a barrier to my skin and that takes care of it. All in all- it beats back and shoulder pain!

I broke my back in a car accident and after surgery received a clamshell brace that was so uncomfortable and dug into my hips, causing more pain than my back. As soon as I felt strong enough I ordered this brace. Unfortunately, the medium was so small on my 30.5" waist it only had an inch overlap to secure with. I had a little trouble communicating with the sellers about the problem, but am glad I gave the Large a try. With the aluminum bars bent to fit the contours of my back, this brace gave me the amount of support I needed and for the most part was very comfortable to use and it allowed me to advance in healing.A couple of things I want to mention to the seller or manufacturer:The LARGE's straps were still rather short, so I suggest that they lengthen them on future manufactured braces, or include velcro extensions for the straps. Seriously. I'm tall and slender, and I only get a half inch overlap from the fasteners. Any tighter and it's uncomfortable where they removed and replaced my left back rib for anterior spine surgery. If it's not fitting me well, there's no way it's going to be comfortable for a person with even a slightly larger girth.The other issue is that while the model's brace shows smooth lines in the shape of her torso, mine bunches up and constantly needs to be straightened, the elastic bulges out from the tighter edge trim. This is kind of disappointing because it sticks out when wearing underneath a shirt and over a tank top.
