FEATOL Belt Lumbar Scoliosis Adjustable Straps Lower Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "Fits well. Easy to put on (wrap around, velcro) then separate bands(attached) to adjust tightness, velcro."
• "Bought l/xl. I wear a size 34 waist in mens jeans. Brace fits great."
• "Absolutely, Easy to put it on."
• "Has a nice triangle pad in the back for tail bone coverage."
• "Fits well and provides support, especially when tightening the outer velcro straps."
• "Just strap it and it was hugging my back."
• "It feels much more comfortable and size wise feels like I picked the better size just so that it would be comfortable to sit or stand with the back brace on."

Cons:

• "The rigidity and odd length of the super-elasticized outer straps were too much for me."
• "However, it rides up when I sit down, and it's a tug-of-war to pull it back down."
• "The product quality is ok but a bit clumsy to put on and sizing was WAY off from described."
• "I ordered based on their sizing but the brace was short by many niches."
• "It's kind of bulky to wear underneath a t shirt."
• "The side straps that tighten the brace are very hard to peel off once they’re velcroed….causing more strain on the back to get them off."
• "It was a bit too tight and so wasn't really able to wear it for very long like he was supposed to for his fractured lumbar."

Support and Relief

Pros:

• "It is made with quality and durable products."
• "The Velcro and seams seem to be better than other belts I've used in the past and should perform well for the foreseeable future."
• "The festol back brace really help my sore back."
• "Support is large enough to give you a firm hold for your back but not bulky so you can hardly tell you have it on."
• "It helps to provide the exact support I need for the tasks I am doing."
• "Used for my lower back. Loved the extra support piece for the back and appreciated the holding power of the Velcro."
• "The support this provides is fantastic. I've been using it for 6 months. It holds up really well."

Cons:

• "Product was good for support, but I would give it a zero, if I could, for pain relief."
• "It offers NO back support!!! It's nothing more than a thin neoprene material."
• "I am so torn on this strap because I feel as though it does not help me in any way."
• "This brace didn’t work for me for sciatica pain. It was too stiff and sat too far up on my back."
• "It's just not for me."
• "I have been having lower back pain, and this belt did not help at all."
• "I don’t understand the positive reviews. I bought the right size, put it on and felt no support at all, just felt like I was wearing too tight a t-shirt."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "It uses the new high-density velcro!"
• "The material is excellent quality and the velcro sticks well and strong."
• "Material seems great quality."
• "Quality is amazing in my opinion."
• "Quality is good and has strong Velcro straps."
• "This Featol back support is as good or better."
• "Someone put an awful lot of thought into this."

Cons:

• "I am not going to use this item because I really don't need it and the few times I tried using it it literally destroyed the clothing I was wearing with the velcro."
• "Seems to have helped my husband's back a lot, BUT the stitching on the elastic band is already coming loose."
• "This wrap isn’t holding up at all. The whole band you pull around keeps curling up and is annoying."
• "The product doesn't stay in place. I have worn it less than a month yet the elastic is showing wear."
• "It has the worst chemical smell and it didn’t feel like even decent quality."
• "Remember, you get what you pay for. This is nothing more than a glorified waist trainer."
• "Made primarily of neoprene and very little mesh so you will get hot/sweaty if you are moving around."
