Once I put the back support belt, the back pain less (almost gone) and I consider myself straight. This is in my profession with small children a true rest! Pleasant Nebeneffekt- front of the abdomen is also pushed a little flatter :-) Unfortunately, the seams are sewn with a material which pricks and itches terribly when it comes to the skin. That's why I can only wear the belt when I ziehe- a thicker shirt underneath where it can not poke. Thus, I will not at the belt in summer wear can-that's a pity. Effect super! Material not so great ... :-(
