I originally purchased this through Amazon and unfortunately it never got to me after waiting for almost two weeks, so I ordered it from another company and got it within 2 days. I was very excited to finally have some low back and hip relief. It does help stabalize the sacrum area of my core, however, I have a pinched nerve somewhere in that area and the tight belt kind of pushes on that nerve more, which bothers it. SO, while the support for my back and hips is great, I cannot wear the belt constantly because of the nerve issue. I still wear the belt when I am doing housework or working out for the added stabalization, but hope to get this nerve issue figured out soon so I can wear the belt daily. I would like to see for myself if it helps with my issues!
