NeoTech Care Neoprene Back Brace for Men or Women - Adjustable & Breathable Lumbar Support Belt for Lower Back Pain (Black, Size M)

My doctor recommended I get a neoprene lumbar support brace and I chose this one. What a great decision! Neotech followed up with me via email to make sure my product had arrived in good condition and to see if I had any questions or concerns. I used the brace this week as I had to stand up at an event for about 2 hours and this brace totally made the difference. My back had excellent support during the event and I had much less discomfort and no effects of sweating underneath the brace or chafing of my skin. I would recommend this brace to others who have lower back pain and need support for special occasions!

This is a good product. It does what it says it will do and the quality is as they claim. It was delivered earlier than first committed and I began using it for my lower and mid back compression condition. It is effective.

This brace is sturdy and well made--it should last for years. I was in the exact middle of my size category, and the brace barely fits. It's actually supposed to be suitable for someone two inches larger than me, but I'd be shocked if they could even get it to close at that size. So having said that, if you're near the upper end of the size range, go one size larger to ensure fit. The brace is tight, especially when you use the compression straps. Very difficult to bend over and pick something up from the floor without a gymnastic move. The brace has two stays (plastic strips to help hold shape) in the back. These are uncomfortable. In fact, the whole brace is uncomfortable, but not unbearable. I had severely injured my back in 2010, and it took a long time to heal from that. This year (2019), I rehurt the same place (though not as severely as the first time). I purchased the brace because I'm in the process of packing up to move. This brace is perfect for that. I worked a whole day packing and lifting while wearing the brace with no pain during or after. And while I was extremely glad when it came time to take the brace off, I will wear it all the time while packing up my house. One note, in the question section either the seller or the manufacturer states that this is meant to be worn UNDER clothing...uh, no. Material is very rough against skin and rubs against pressure points caused by the brace. Also, its very bulky, so you could definitely see it under your clothes. If you're in pain, this will most likely benefit you greatly. If you're just looking for a little support, look for something lighter weight.

This is the 3rd brace I've tried and none stayed on or gave good support... until now! This one is great, easy to put on, velcro is sturdy and flexible, lower and middle back support is Awesome. This really saved me when i slipped a disc. Please add a pouch for ice woohoo

I'm 6'2" 246 and I bought a 2X. That turned out to be a little to close a fit for me. It will fit me, but only a small portion of the velcro gets a purchase. But the real problem is that pull straps don't allow for much-added compression. The pull straps don't pull very far. I have another brace with pull straps that allow for a lot more adjustment. And, the neoprene shell traps body heat. I live in northern Michigan. And in fall the days aren't that warm and I still have a lot of sweat trapped under the brace when I remove it, yuck. It gives good support. But with the size I can't wear it with confidence and with the sweating I don't want to wear it for very long. So I can't really give it a good review for my purposes. I use this kind of brace for significant back pain related to scoliosis. For relatively minor back pain and with if you get a brace one size larger than you might otherwise buy, you might like this brace. But I would urge you to take into consideration the points I made.

This thing is amazing! I am not able to stand up, let alone walk, for more than four minutes due to lower back pain, but when I wear this, I am able to function almost like normal. It is not very comfortable when you sit down, but I don't really wear it to sit, as I spend enough time sitting or laying down already, as those of you with back issues probably agree with me about.

Used for work. Male, 5' 11" 260 lbs size 3xl. Fits well and does actually help with lower back pain. Stays aren't super rigid but are made of metal and will set off metal detectors so best to keep it in your locker :p

Perfect comfortable and helps strengthen my back so I can exercise
