Is this a night time brace or can it be used on a daily basis? &amp; Can you work out with this on?

I have a set.It can be used for both but it's not good for driving. If you need to drive your better off taking them off temporarily or just use a compression brace for driving.

I always wear it on my bare skin. If I use it at work, then I try to sneak away during lunch and remove the brace for a few minutes. It does get a little sweaty and uncomfortable, but for the most part it's great. It provides me with the support I need and improves my posture. I haven't tried washing it, my only concern would be rusting the metal springs.

I would recommend only using during the night .. It may be too heavy for normal skin during the day

Yes. My wife loves it. She says it feels more like a support wrap than a brace.

I only wear the brace while I am lifting heavy items and then I remove it the rest of the day. While I lift I can still feel my stomach muscles being used so I wouldn't think using it would make them weaker.

Kim, I don't believe so because I regularly do my exercises at the gym. Also, I am not dependent on the brace, I wear it only to help me heal whenever I hurt my back.

I wouldn't say "easily." It's not super cumbersome, but you'd realize you're wearing it for sure. It's not heavy, but it's not light either--bulky. I would not consider this a brace. It's to be used when you need to cool down when you're in pain--and for that it does a good job.

The brace is rather large and I ware mine when I'm sleeping because it is called a "night brace".

I can, but I suppose everyone is different. There is nothing I can think of that I can't do while wearing this brace, it just stabilizes my wrist.

I've never used it while sleeping so I'm not sure about that. It's comfortable enough that you can use it on a daily basis. I can imagine you can work out with it even though I've never done that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes, I've used it during my workouts and brace does not feel like it's in the way

Mine has not stretched out of shape, in spite of regular wear. The side support is probably the most helpful part of the design and, I think that stretching/loosening would defeat the purpose and design of the stabilizers. And it would not be at all helpful if the brace is too sight. Ask your doctor for advice. If you are purchasing this in a pharmacy, ask the pharmacist or pharmacy tech for assistance. And ask if the item can be exchanged it it's too snug, or tto loose.

Definitely not during your work out. I wore mine at work and at night, but I'm not a weight lifter. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IT WORKS !

Yep, absolutely. I have loved this brace, it is highly effective and easy to use.

Personally, I use very little ( once a day) at night. There are times I use it two times a day , if I'm going out to a dinner engagement or something like that.Use a dime size of a tad more & it should last a few months.I hope I was able to be of help.Cheers!

Worth a try. Our kids use it for martial arts training which includes sparring. They have braces top and bottom.

I use it at night to prevent that very problem, and to prevent myself from snoring because my jaw can't drop with it on. It has eliminated a lot of neck pain for me since I've begun sleeping with it every night. It just takes a little getting used to because it can fit quite snuggly, but if put on right, it won't strangle you!
