Saunders Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Support Belt, Medium (Waist: 32" - 42")

I've been wearing this for 8-9 months just above the hip creases for at least a couple hours almost daily. My low back pain is gone. The anti-slip grip is very effective and can be a little uncomfortable on bare skin after a few hours, but I guess that's the tradeoff for zero slip. A few times I felt worse after wearing this and I think this is why: sometimes when I was pulling the belt tight using the rectangular D-ring for leverage, it was pulling my SI joints apart. So now after I pull it tight, I run my thumbs under the belt from front to back along each side, like I'm letting the SI joints back together, and that takes care of it. I also had some success with placing the D-ring in the back closer to the sacrum, but I haven't had to bother with that since I've been running my thumbs under the belt from front to back. My long term plan is to strengthen my core and hip muscles a ton so the muscles will hold the SI joints together, but until then, this belt has been my solution.

This works so well! I'm 5'1", 92 lbs, and this fits! It's comfortble, stays in place and is easy to tighten.

This is the second time I have tried this belt. The first on lasted almost a month before the metal piece twisted. Once the metal piece twists, it does not stop and only gets worse. The issue with the metal piece twisting is that when it twists, you loose the compression on your joint. - meaning you loose the benefit of wearing it. With that said, this belt was a life saver! It relieved so much of my pain that I was willing to accept having to buy a new one every month, so I ordered this second one. I was so excited and relieved to have my belt back, but this one twisted after only 2 days of wearing it. It is just not reasonable to order a new $20 belt every other day.I also do not understand why the small belt is more expensive than the other sizes.

I wore this belt for about 3 hours, and it did give excellent support to my lower back, and decreased the pain in my SI Joint. However, soon after I took it off, a very itchy welt developed where the strip of silicone was on the belt - this strip is to keep the belt in place against skin. Now days later, I still have to take an allergy pill to stop the welt from itching, it literally goes the way around like the belt did.Does an excellent job but please test first for allergy. I tried the belt with a clothing barrier but then it doesn't stay in place.

I have some lower back issues, and this is a much smaller and easier to use version than the big SI joint belts with the velcro and the straps.

This belt works for the most part. It is Velcro so you have to keep it clean from debris or is doesn’t stay closed. My belt is only two months old and the seam came undone. I will have to sew the bottom seam. Overall it has the support but it won’t last years. Hopefully you will heal before the belt comes apart.

I was having some issues with sciatic pain down my right leg; it didn't seem to be a back issue. My theory was an SI. I had tried heat, ice, rubs and it would help for the short term, but my symptoms continued. After three weeks I figured I should see a MD. I knew a doctors visit would probable lead to an xray, mri and PT...$$$$$ ! I bought this belt as a last resort to try. After about a week sleeping with this on, I noticed a huge difference. I was able to get a good nights rest without waking multiple times a night in pain. I was sleeping with out ice or heat for the first time in weeks. After wearing this a couple weeks to bed and my daytime symptoms were pretty much gone. I think my issue was acute sacroiliitis that flared up after increasing my evening walking distance. I decided to start wearing the belt on long walks to help prevent the problem again. The belt stays in place well with normal walking, I haven't tried in on hike or more intense walking situations yet. So far the pain hasn't returned.

I like that it is fairly thin and undetectable under clothing. It is soft, the silicone prevents it from slipping, and the material is soft against the skin.I’m having great relief from pain due to sacroiliac instability. Im about to buy another one so I can have two.Edit - I should say that I am a woman and my husband and I share one account. So even though it says Bruce, this is Mrs Bruce. 😊
