Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure your waist circumference at the level of your navel and compare it to the size ranges: XS-M 26–32 in (66–81.3 cm), M-L 31.5–39.5 in (80.0–100.3 cm), L-XXL 40–47.5 in (101.6–120.7 cm). If you are between ranges, select the size that allows a comfortable overlap of the front closure.
Can I wear the brace under clothing?
Yes. The slim profile and breathable knitted back panel are designed to fit discreetly under most clothing. For best comfort, wear it over a thin base layer and smooth out any folds before fastening.
Are the metal stays removable and adjustable?
Yes. The brace includes two malleable metal stays that can be gently contoured to your lumbar curve or removed entirely for a more flexible fit.
What does the removable lumbar pad do?
The detachable pad provides targeted pressure and cushioning over the lower back to enhance stabilization and comfort. You can use it during activities that benefit from extra support or remove it for a lower-profile fit.
How tight should I fasten the brace?
The brace should feel snug and supportive but not restrictive. Fasten the main closure first, then use the elastic cross straps to fine-tune compression. If you feel discomfort, numbness, or restricted breathing, loosen the straps immediately.
Can I wear it while exercising or working?
Yes, for light to moderate activity where extra support and posture awareness are beneficial. Adjust compression as needed and follow any guidance from your healthcare professional regarding duration and activity level.
Is the fabric breathable for extended wear?
The knitted back panel is designed for breathability and comfort. Many users find it suitable for extended wear during daily activities. Start with shorter intervals and increase gradually as your body adapts.
Can I sleep in this lumbar support brace?
Do not wear the brace while sleeping unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional. The brace is intended for daytime use during activity unless your clinician advises otherwise.
How do I care for the brace?
Hand wash in cool water with mild soap, remove excess water, and air dry away from heat. Do not iron. Proper care helps preserve elasticity and support.
Will this help with posture?
The brace provides structured support and gentle compression that can encourage posture awareness and help maintain lumbar alignment. For targeted posture training, pair the brace with clinician-recommended exercises.
Is the brace suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The back panel uses a breathable, hypoallergenic knitted fabric designed for comfort on sensitive skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a clinician.
Can I adjust support throughout the day?
Absolutely. The dual elastic cross straps allow quick compression adjustments. Tighten for activities needing more support and loosen when sitting or resting.
Does it restrict movement?
The design aims to stabilize the lumbar area while allowing a comfortable range of motion. If you experience restricted movement or discomfort, re-check sizing and strap tension.
Where should the lumbar pad sit?
Position the pad centrally over your lower back, just above the hips and in line with the lumbar curve. Secure the brace first, then fine-tune pad position before tightening the cross straps.
How long should I wear it each day?
Begin with shorter sessions and increase gradually based on comfort or clinical guidance. The ideal duration varies; consult your healthcare professional for personalized advice.
