How long does the adjustable elastic last if it's worn and stretched every day?

I bought the belt recently and don't wear it everyday (only wear it when my hip is bothering me). Not sure how long it will last if its worn daily.

Hum . . . . I can't really answer that question. I've had my belt 6 months or so. Sometimes I wore it for several hours several times a day, and then I didn't wear it at all for weeks. I will say that this is a quality made belt, and that it should last a long time! Looking at some of the other comments, I'll say that it's very important to position the belt correctly and you don't need a lot of pressure for it to be effective. It helped me get over my sacorillac problems!

I've been using mine daily since Aug. 2013 and I'm currently looking for a new one. However, I feel this one will last for another 6 months to a year, at least. Then I can alternate between the two.

I have the older one made with cotton and elastic. I've worn it every day for 3 years and it is still going strong.

I have had mine for a good year and a half of constant wear. Its a little worn down but still going. I would say about 1-2 years of every day wear before replacement

I could not wear the belt after a day or two. To be tight enough it is very uncomfortable. However, it is well made and strong.

I have used mine for a year now, and now the elastic has started to stretch out. I do spend a lot of time at Sams club and their carts are wider, which I think is the reason it has stretched. It's still functional and I still give this product 5 stars.

No. My granddaughter has worn hers for months with no stretching problems at all. She has gotten through teething great. She is one year old and has 10 teeth already. Her mom swears by it!

For daily use I put it on first thing and it lasts all day. If you're out extended I would recommend reapplying at least twice.

I've used mine nearly every day, several hours at a time, for perhaps 5 years. They are falling apart now and I am back at Amazon to order another pair!

It's adjustable. I know I had my stretch to a couple of feet and it could have stretched further. They work great.

It has enough elastic to be comfortable for pretty much any wait size. The elastic is very stretchy. I'm a woman of size and when I use it, there's plenty of elastic left. It's very comfortable.

Ours gets worn daily and we have had no problems with seams tearing or anything falling off.

Does not wear per se, but does stretch if you have little ones that continuously remove it and replace it.

A little, mine have only been worn three times, they seem to stretch the more you wear them.

Mine lasts through a daily shower (or two), exercising, and washing over it lightly with a bath sponge. Make sure you apply it to clean, dry skin. Don't apply any moisturizers before applying the patch and it should stay on. I put mine on over the roundest part of my hip alternating with my backside.

I don't know, I have not taken mine off and reused. I leave mine on for about 4 days. Anything that loosens I cut off and retape. I use mine for pes anserine and its usually around the knees that need replacement.

I have been using mine every night for 1 1/2 years. I'm replacing it now because the velcro on the middle strap is finally losing its tight hold.

I wear it for about an hour and a half at most. I use it weight training. It always is snug and retains its shape. Great product.

It's more like they get worn down after extended use. I'd say with daily use it lasts 4-6 months depending on your operation.

I've had it over a year. I use it at least once a day, usually more. Have not changed them yet.
