Does anyone wear this under a back brace? Was thinking it may retain heat longer; I live in my heavy-duty lumbar brace. Thanks!

I do not but I would be concerned that the brace might cause the heat to be intensified and cause a burn. The other problem that I found is it cooled off quickly. It started off almost burning my neck and 15 minutes later, it WS cold. That might not be worth the effort. Have you tried those stick on heat patches? I find those (thera-something) last about four hours. Good luck!

I wore the brace on bare skin only once, because I forgot to wear an under shirt. It was not comfortable, and kept moving out of place. I usually wear it over a this cotton shirt. I haven't had to wash it yet, but my friend has had his longer and washes it when needed.

No Courtney it will not. Its only to prevent irritation from your brace. By wearing it under.

Belt lower back brace works good for me. My back was broken two years ago and this the best lower back brace I have used.Easy to adjust. Can be worn under shirt.

Actually this knee brace not provide cooling effect (indeed it is breathable), if you run in 85F - 95F...probably still feeling hot around knee...I would only say it is more comfortable than other nylon / polymer made knee braces even in hot weather.Hope this help.

Hi! Yes, I have worn it many many many nights while sleeping. In fact, I just spend 3 months wearing it all the time, except when bathing. It made a major difference, was not uncomfortable at all. In fact, just this minute returned from the doctor and he has given me the complete "green light", meaning my damaged ligament is 100% healed now and I no longer have to wear the brace at all. THIS IS what did the trick and allowed the ligament to heal completely. Go for it!

It's a good seat warmer, Mary but as a doc there are better products out there like lumbar support cushion with heat. However, it has been helpful a seat warmer. Not adjustable for temperature, though.

I do not lay on mine too often. I use it on my back while sitting in a chair most times but sometimes I recline in the chair. That is the only time I lay on mine. I am using it right now. It is giving me such wonderful penetrating warmth.

I did not ever feel too hot using that product. If you weigh over 150 it might lose its resilience. I weigh 180 and it lost it's support and stayed out of shape.

I use mine every night. I sleep with my feet outside the covers...or I don't sleep. So to be honest...I'm not really sure. I find that my back is better when I sleep with it. Once asleep...I don''t notice hot or cold. I wouldn't be without mine.

Temp wise, it doesn't hold a ton of heat like I have seen complaints with other brands. You should look into ones with the cooling gel if you like being cold.

I have worn my husband's and it doesn't roll down, but it seems to slide down a bit. I need to have a larger size than his due to my thighs, knee and calves are larger. So I suggest that you determine the size because I think they are worth it for all day wear. You DON'T sweat with these like you do most other braces! They feel good and allow movement with support. Others keep you more stiff-legged and throw the rest of your body out of alignment. Good luck. :)

I would say that if you take it off for a little while around every 20 minutes of use and let your arms cool down, it should not be a problem. With that said, it is probably more dependent on whether or not you are using it in an air conditioned area, or the temperature in the location you are in. I personally have not found heat to be of any real issue while wearing them.

Mine stays cold for a long time. Sometimes I put a wash rag inside the brace because they are very very cold. You are suppose to wait 15 minutes after you take out the pack of the freezer before putting in the sleeves of the brace. It is so cold I can leave them out 15 minutes and put them on for 20 minutes and put them back in the freezer and then put them back on for another 20 minutes. I have seen some of the other reviews about them not staying cold but I have not experienced this. Good Luck.

I have never had a problem with the water temperature changing. Although I wouldn't classify it as "cold", it certainly stays very comfortable. I've never tried it for lower back pain.

Most would agree it will work fine under a shirt. Also rec. trying the multifidus stabilizing ex's in "Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis" for your back.

I wore it only during the day and while I worked out. Not at night as I was at rest. A also wore it while skiing every weekend. I believe it helped my recovery dramatically. Good luck!
