Saunders S'port All Back Support with White Compression Shorts: Men's, Medium (Waist: 32" - 34")

This actually helped my lower back. I have surgery coming up & my back keeps slipping out & this keeps it from moving! The size is different, wish they had larger sizes for tall women & offered in black & natural colors! It’s really stiff & scratches at first. Had to launder it & it helped with comfort. Straps are perfectly long for me and my husband (had him try it on) since I had to order a mens! It doesn’t ride up & that’s perfect for men & women! No wedgies! I wasn’t able to bend or lift without pain until I got this and it was well worth the money! It was very easy to put on over underwear and off quickly for restroom breaks. The expensive back braces from the clinic’s don’t do half as much as this brace did! So easy to adjust straps higher above hips or velcro lower if needed, doesn’t roll up and stays in place! Definitely would recommend to any person that has back problems!

I am a candidate for L4/L5 fusion. I have worn all the back supports in the world over the past 40-years. I play tennis and when younger played at the top level at my clubs and now play at at the second club level. I could only ever play if my back was strongly supported and with various pain patches on my back, most currently capucin. I have used or tried every support made and they all slipped upward into my ribs and did not work for sports. Years ago I finally began buying from the girdle department items that looked something like this product- high strong back support with the legs of various lengths, whatever was best on the market at the time. The panty-legs kept the panty girdle in place. Ureka. Note that they cost as much as this product! I kept wondering why no one just made a back support with shorts because the need was so obvious. Then I found Saunder’s back support with shorts PLUS the additional wraps, which is by far the greatest support I have ever used because it stays put. I use them strictly for tennis because I need to pull the wraps so tight. I have other supports for other situations and must always wear some type under my clothing. RE MEASURING: Here’s what I learned about what works for me in measuring, which is to not measure the waist but to measure the rib cage below the breast area. This product will be tight!, so if your waist is smaller than the area above it, it will push your skin up and over the top edge and can dig in. The other way, the waist felt just at tight but the area at the rib cage fit appropriately tight. Then when I wrap the straps I can go really really tight and both the fit and support is perfect on my entire torso. FYI, I went from a too tight Women’s Med. to a perfect Men’s Med., and no skin layers roll up and over. I am 5’2” and weigh 122 Ibs. Hope this is helpful. FINALLY, TO SAUNDER’S - Thank you for a great product and PLEASE offer it in Black, which is what tennis players wear, and please make the elastic on the leg looser as it really digs in and is not necessary to be so tight- I had to clip it. To anyone with serious back issues this is the answer, and for those with general back issues this will support you and prevent you from developing more serious issues. It’s so import to prevent and protect your back always.

This is a great product. Like other reviews I have read they were correct in stating the thread on the legs should be elastic. The legs bind up and are too tight especially when bending, crouching etc. I had to just remove the thread to make it function. I would prefer any other color but alas no luck. What I really like about the product is that it keeps the support exactly where it needs to be. In addition when you are finished with vigorous activity you can remove the support band without completely undressing. There are still support "bones" in place and they are very comfortable.

Comfortable

Recommended to me by my back doctor after I herniated a disc. I love this product! Other back braces ride up so they don’t work properly but the shorts attached keep the support in place. Not the most comfortable shorts, but not too bad. The white ones are see-through so I wear it more under clothes than over.

i like the compression shorts, keeps my hamstrings and quads warm. a plus. The brace is not good for my issues. i have a bad sciatic nerve, and this does not keep the pressure off, but puts more on as my spine is "aligned"... the shorts part are good...

Dint fit me right

The good: alleviated my back pain immediately, was comfortable to wear (while standing), and the material was very breathable The less good: the Velcro was so strong that the seams ripped the first time I tried to take it off and I broke two nails, the top isn't as long as I thought it would be - I was looking for something that would come up to my ribs and this barely hits at my natural waist, and because of the short length it rolls down when seated which is extremely uncomfortable. The limited sizing is also a point against it, if it were available in larger and longer sizes it would be great

Exelent brace that stays where it should all day. Fits small so I got the next size up and it’s perfect

These are good quality and well constructed out of sturdy material. I needed a back brace with shorts for work since the other 3 back braces I tried rode up after a while and didn’t support my lower back as I needed. The shorts/brace combo works very well to help the brace stay in place. The brace itself is like a large, thick elastic with further elastic bands that Velcro in place overtop for extra support. On me (I’m 5’9”) the brace is long enough to go from my lower back/sacrum area all the way to mid back. This is a great feature and it provides support and relief. However, I have to agree with other reviewers that the shorts portion of the product is poorly designed for a so called “sports” brace. The leg openings are too narrow, with a tight thin elastic at the end. They bite into your legs and also roll. I’ve had to cut mine as I simply could not wear them as is. Otherwise they fit fine everywhere else. I believe if you are a more muscular, athletic or curvy build you will have trouble getting these to fit your legs unless you cut them.
