Hip Brace for Sciatica Pain Relief, Thigh Injury, Hip Fleхоr Strain, Pulled Groin Muscles, Hamstring Pull, Sacroiliac SI Joint, Sciatic Nerve, Lower Back Pain - Compression Ortho Support Stabilizer Wrap for Men, Women (Blue)

For a splint, this is very comfortable. It provides the exact support and my hip joint wants and has relieved pain. It’s not as obvious under my clothing as I worried it would be.

Sizing: roughly 46-48 inches around my hips, size 16/18 tall US women's denim.This fit as snugly as I needed it to and could go tighter...but for larger folks I'd like to add: the entire belt and garment body is soft and the latch ends of straps are the rough velcro, so if you can't fully overlap it you will feel it. I didn't enjoy it even over shorts in passing for sizing so, heads up for comfort! But that's also because it's a strong grip velcro so pro/con for some.Had I purchased this as a size 20/22, I could have made it work for short periods, but would have found discomfort in the finesse of having to secure it evenly over my hips even if the thigh seems to allow for more room.I tried this on out of the box and felt immediate support and relief as I adjusted it to my body. Easy to use, easy to layer. I wore it over compression shorts and under jeans, before walking into a store. A few extra creases outwardly but only slightly more noticeable in wearability than my clothes. Materials seem sturdy but flexible, I always try to hand wash where I can and avoid drying regardless when it comes to these mobility aids. Pressure is adjustable and even so bends well without inhibiting range of movement or having hard edges that dig in. *Again, I have far less thigh/glute right now than before so, grain of salt for the built bodies reading this.*My primary reason for buying this is recovery from a hip impact injury, so I'm walking but "not quite right." I could feel the thigh portion encouraging some of my muscles to correct themselves, small releases as I stretched between movements; and by the time I got home realized how I can fix the straps next time, around my hips for better stability and tighter gait control. I look forward to this encouraging my progress and would further recommend combining this level of pressure with other meaningful efforts and low impact physical therapies.

I used daily for uphill snowshoeing and backcountry descents in powder and packed snow (skis). It works well with adjustable support straps, but is not a cure for sciatica nor hamstring injuries. It provides support relief and is good for large steps uphill. It is comfortable and warm and it can be worn under form fitting pants, particularly if outer garment has some "stretch," and it can be worn on outside of thigh for tight jeans. Note: I am 6', 155 lbs w 30" waist and upper section is large on me causing an overlap at waist, which adds warmth. Adjusting the thigh support is easy. and is light enough for casual wear after workout. I have the blue color and like it. Quality is good for price. Also good for yoga and I'm glad I bought it!

The product itself is good. The material is sturdy yet flexible. However, this is basically for the left hip. It is such a struggle to have it on the right hip. Attaching everything in the back is difficult, especially when you try to tighten it, you are pretty much going at it blind. I don't understand why they can't just make a separate one just for the right side considering the amount of money it costs.

Really works! Great for hip/groin pain. Very supportive and adjustable.

If worn correctly it really helps. Fits snug and helps with healing!

I gave it two stars because im sure it works great for the left leg. Absolutely useless on the right leg. If you are a contortionist you might be able to get a nice secure fit but for the most part you are trying to tightens d get a secure fit behind your leg because that’s where the straps are. That’s hard enough to do without a pulled groin. I finally got it secured and felt absolutely no relief or support because the straps end up being right over the muscle that hurts. The actual compression is everywhere but where the straps are. On your left leg the straps would be on the outside so it would work…but like I said…useless for a right leg groin pull.

What I like about this product is that it does seem to provide stability when I walk, which increases my endurance, but it doesn't really provide pain relief, or, at least, pain relief is only moderate. However, the fit of this brace is somewhat awkward, and I am still trying to find the best way to attach it so that it gives me the most support on my hip without being difficult to use around my leg. I do use this on my right leg, and, contrary to other reviews, I do connect this in front of me without much difficulty. I am a small person, pant size 4 women's, and I can get it tight enough, but it is sometimes hard to keep it on the hip correctly. It is fairly comfortable, but it I gave comfort a 3, because it isn't as comfortable around the thigh. I wear it over my clothes and I find that it isn't that bulky, but it would be bulky under clothes. It is tricky going to the bathroom, but I just disconnect the hip.waist piece and then pull down the thigh piece, so it is doable. I got this on sale and I think this is a good item for the price, and it looked sturdier than some of the other inexpensive braces for both legs/sides, especially around the hip. I am glad that I purchased this, although I am still trying to find the best fit.
