How wide is the belt? I have a serola, and it digs into my thighs and gets pushed above my hip bones when I sit (I have a short torso).

At the widest part in the back it is 3 inches, but in the front it is only 2 inches. The fabric also has a fair amount of give to it, so I can't imagine it would dig into your skin. Hope that helps.

It should go just below the tops of your hip bones on the side. For men, it is about at the belt line, for women it is usually a few inches below where a normal waistline would be.

I have the same problem. I am an "hourglass" shaped woman, 147 lbs, and my butt and legs spill over the edges of the Backjoy posture relief, which doesn't allow me to use it properly. Did you find something that does work for you? I like the concept and think it could help... at a larger size!

Hello, this belt was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I had hip pain resulting from knee injury. Anyway, he said to wrap it around the hip bones. It did help but because the band was not wide (top to bottom) enough, it did not stay in place and would slip out after a short while. It would have stayed on better if it's a couple of inches longer in height. I ended up not using it at all. If you decide to wear it anyway, it would work for walking, but keep in mind that if you sit down, it will slip out.I hope my feedback helps. My apologies for the delay in responding. I was out of town. Hello, this belt was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I had hip pain resulting from knee injury. Anyway, he said to wrap it around the hip bones.

the belt is pretty big I am a 44 and there is about 6" inches left ( in my opinion this was the best carpenters belt I have ever bought I use it 6 days a week ) NO BACK PAIN

We have similar hip size. I got a small/medium. You can easily adjust the Velcro to tighten or loosen the belt to your liking.

While most of my belts are about one and one quarter inch wide, you should not have anydifficulty using a 1.5 inch belt. I even tried a canvas belt widen then 1.5 inches, and it worked fine. Incidentally, this is a very nice holster, with quality construction and a nicemagnetic type flap. I am very pleased with this holster.

The belt is exactly 2 inches wide. I just measured it myself. In case this is of interest to you or anyone else, I'll mention that I used it for a holster and dual magazine holder that had 1.5 inch openings. Although I proved it is possible, it was a complete struggle, wiggling and pulling and yanking and rocking back and forth in tiny increments that took forever. If I wanted to remove them and use the belt for something else, it would also be a struggle. I was determined to do it and I did. They will not budge which is cool because they do not slide around on the belt. This is fine with me as I have made this a setup that remains assembled. Instead of having to take off your belt and then put these holsters on in between belt loops and stuff, you just grab the whole belt and quickly clip it on over your pants and belt (or underwear or pajamas in the middle of the night.) If someone wanted to do this as a temporary thing, I do not recommend it. Needless to say, this 2 inch belt is undoubtedly designed to be used with items with 2 inch openings or clips.

Ok that depends, the belt will probably hit you right at the waist level. As far as the rest of the fit. If your waitst is 40" or less you should be fine as long as you don't have an excessively large stomach.

I'm 5'9" and 220# and the belt is plenty big enough. The only thing I didn't like is that it dug into my sides a bit, so I got the additional side floats and the belt is still long enough.

I'm not sure about the height being an issue but for me this dug into my hips horribly because it's all one width all the way around and not contoured around the hip area. I returned this after a day because it was so uncomfortable. Got an Upsie Belly at BBB and never looked back!

It's a good belt, but when I ordered it the site write up said, it would fit a person up to a 52" waist and it don't even come close. So I had the eat that one and find something else. The radio holder is far to small to put you radio into. These are the only two issues I have for this idem. would it fit a 44 ????? good one. Might be a tight one.

My belly button is about in the middle of the belt. But adjust it until the back is nearly pain free. This belt totally changed my life for the better. Recently my doctor told me it's a good back support. Best to you.

I have an organic ergo and have to use a waist extender. I am an XL woman. It fits very comfortable, but you do get a little pudge/muffin top effect over the wasteband, if I'm being honest. It's not the most flattering thing in the world if you have any excess in the middle area. My husband is not able to use the ergo carrier, even with the extender, because it's way too tight around the waste. He prefers the baby bjorn for younger baby because it has no waste strap. Good luck to you.

The front of the belt narrows to about two inches . The buckle is also two inches wide. My mother wears hers the entire time she is out of bed. I use it to pull her up from a chair and to steady her as she walks. We took it to a shoe repair man to cut it shorter to fit her. She has had it for about 18 months. It washes well.

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had that issue with mine. The way I set the chest strap on my GS, is loose enough that you can run 1 but no more than 2 fingers under it, there will be some slack, however, I don't think is that significant; the other 2 abdomen straps w/buckle, loose enough so you can run 1 finger under them. I hope this helps.

I don't know exactly how wide it'll go, but I wear a 36" jean, and this belt around my regular belt when I'm playing paintball. I've got at least 6" to spare on either side of the buckle. Hope this helps!
