Fitting Instructions

Back wrap has two “belts” to provide a secure fit. The inner belt is larger, while the outer belt is smaller and more elastic. Wrap is best fitted while standing. Wrap  is most effective when used directly against skin, but it may also be worn over clothing. Inside of wrap should face body.

1. Wrap inner belt around your back and secure with fastening material. Make sure outer belt has not been fastened to outside of inner belt, as this will affect  the fit. When fastened, inner belt should fit comfortably and securely without restricting breathing or circulation.
2. Bring one side of outer belt around and stretch firmly over stomach. Attach fastener. Repeat with remaining side.

Two sizes fit most waists: Small/Medium for 24”-34” waists Large/X-large for 35”-48” waists.
