Summary: NOT Machine Washable
Comment: The Amazon 'Product Description' (as of Aug 2008) states that the product is "Machine washable, Drip dry." However, the actual manufacturer's packaging states "Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and air dry."

(This is not the first product I've seen that Amazon claimed was machine washable but turned out not to be. I made my purchase primarily based on the machine-washable claim, so I feel that Amazon has wasted my time and money by posting false information about the product.)

Also printed on the box of the Mueller Adjustable Back Brace #4581, but not posted on Amazon: "CAUTION: This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions. Constructed of a neoprene blend which may cause skin irritations. If rash develops or pain persists, discontinue use and consult a physician."

Amazon's 'Product Features' says the product fits waists 24-44 inches, but the actual box says 28-44 inches.

I just received the item today, so cannot review its effectiveness. But it looks like a well-constructed product and its velcro did not scratch me while putting it on and when wearing it. It does seem a little hard to bend over with the belt on- I mean when I lean forward in a chair or stoop down to pick something off the floor, the bottom of the belt jabs into the top of my groin area. Maybe I will try wearing it a little higher on my back.

Comment: Very good product for my job and my back. Couldn't find anything out there at the stores so I bought it off line. I am very pleased with it. I would recommend this back brace to anyone. :-)

Summary: This back brace works great for me
Comment: I wasn't sure if it would help but I put this on when my back is bugging me and it feels better right away. It's a quality product. It's identical to the one Verizon issues to their field employees--a buddy of mine works for Verizon. I bought this because the picture of it looked the same as his. It is. I use it mainly for skiing and snowboarding. Guess I'm getting old.

Summary: very good
Comment: I bought the brace for my husband.He had one before and he was satisfied of it,he tried a few different brands that stand for back support,but this belt is the real deal,he said .It really does what it's made for and it's the same price.The other brands did nothing,but create more trouble than help.It was money well spent and if there is anybody who has lower back problems,I'll say:"Get one!"
