Clever Yellow Premium Back Support Belt, Back Brace, Lumbar Support Belt, Lower Back Support for Men and Women, Back Braces for Lower Back Pain (XL)

I’ve had sciatica for many years which led to me having a microdiscectomy 10 years ago. The operation was successful in terms of me being able to have a lot more freedom of movement and not being in agonising pain every day.However, I still have chronic back pain and experience sciatic pain which comes and goes.Positives about this product are:1. This back brace really helps as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of injury. I always wear it if I know I’m going to lift something heavy.2. Helps speed up recovery when I have sciatic flare-ups.3. Recovery from back pain is faster when wearing this brace.4. Well made. I have had two of these during 7 years (due to weight loss) and the first one lasted for 5 years and is still going strong (given to a family member), current one is just as good.5. Supportive boning all around. Others I have used have been either too flimsy or too restrictive.6. The height of brace I find works really well in terms of the area it supports.7. Good support whether standing or sitting.8. Relatively comfortable even when carrying out activities that require bending or during exercise.9. Strong velcro that stays stuck! This does not pop open.10. Obviously no brace is completely comfortable but this is supportive and makes you aware of your posture.Negatives:1. The only negative I can think of is that if you have weak shoulder/arm/wrist pain it may be difficult for you to fasten the brace to the desired tension.I have had a shoulder injury so have experienced this personally, however, someone else will be able to help you fasten it easily enough or you could use place your feet apart, place one hand on a wall and use this to push against and fasten the brace to a better supportive tension.I’d really recommend this as a preventative and recovery aid if you have back problems or sciatica or if you want to ensure that you protect your back during heavy lifting.

Bought this for my partner who has a lot of issues with his back. This gives him a lot of support. He says it is a comfy fit, it is good quality and it doesn't show too much under his clothes.

Good quality - flexible, comfortable and easy to use. No impact to mobility in general use - does not get in the way. Prone to some folding when sat down but certainly provides beneficial support to the back.

Works wonders. I'd be lost without this, since it's my first time purchasing 1 of these back braces. Comfortable to wear. I forget I'm wearing it, that's how Comfortable it is. Well worth it and the price is very reasonable, specially the support it gives and how comfortable it is wearing it. I do highly recommend.

Put this belt on upon arrival left it on five hours and it took away all pain in my lower back it was bliss. after 4 days of constant use my back has completely ceased to give me pain Can’t get a doctor to get off their fat backside to look at my back or examine me to diagnose my problem overpaid underworked. Self diagnosis using google possible trapped sciatic nerve or sciatica been in pain nine months tried everything for relief and first impressions are this is working great had it on 12 hours today and not a twinge been gardening plumbing in a new dishwasher general handiwork it’s the best day I have had in 9 months it’s made a hell of a difference to my pain no ibuprofen or gels today just this brace. I’m happy so. good enough to keep this and see how it fairs in the long run and how well it lasts the Velcro is really good and strong and has held in place all day, if you wear it to tight it’s hard to sit The supports in the back are strong and very supportive and well sown together so far its excellent value for money, not noticed any sweating from the belt area I’ll see how that goes in the gym on Monday it did get a bit wet and sweaty but soon dried out after taking it off so far a good purchase the pain relief has been fantastic. Further update been using on and off for a few weeks and I have no back pain at all during normal living but do keep it on in gym and can do all the back exercises without any difficulty or discomfort the best £20. I’ve spent in years well recommended by me

Looked great, worked well initially, then the support got weaker and weaker, the elastic looses strength. No support on sides stopping belts digging into your sides. Sadly would not buy again. Recommend widening the belts and adding support to stop belts rolling up to form a rope.

I’m so happy with this , I put my back out really bad the other day and this is such a relief! It’s very easy to use and tight which is just what I needed, you can move in it still and it’s quite thick and sturdy . It’s really helped my back pain and I recommend it for sciatica
