Criss-Cross Lumbar Back Support Medium Hip 30 to 36 Inch Hook and Loop

Lower back pain and lumbar strain benefit from compression that moves with the body rather than restricting it. This Criss-Cross Lumbar Back Support uses a crisscross panel design on both the front and back to deliver firm yet flexible compression that conforms to the body's natural movement during daily activity. The 9" wide back panel provides broad lumbar coverage, and the 5" wide front panel provides comfortable abdominal support without excessive bulk. Enclosed flexible stays prevent the brace from rolling or shifting during wear, maintaining correct positioning throughout the day. Hook-and-loop closure allows a customizable, adjustable fit. Lightweight and discreet under clothing. Medium, fits hip circumference 30" to 36".

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crisscross panel design and how does it differ from a standard lumbar brace?
A standard lumbar brace typically uses horizontal compression panels that wrap around the lower back and abdomen. A crisscross panel design uses diagonal panels that cross over each other on both the front and back of the brace, creating a different compression pattern that follows the diagonal orientation of some of the core and lumbar muscles. The crisscross pattern provides firm compression while allowing more natural movement in multiple directions compared to a purely horizontal compression design, making it more comfortable for users who need support during active daily tasks rather than strict immobilization.

What do the enclosed flexible stays do?
Flexible stays are thin, semi-rigid strips built into the brace that help it maintain its shape and position during wear. Enclosed stays are sewn into the fabric of the brace rather than being removable, keeping them in the correct position at all times. The stays prevent the brace from rolling down at the top or bunching up during movement, which is a common issue with softer compression braces that lack internal structure. By keeping the brace in the correct position, the stays ensure that the compression is applied consistently to the lumbar region throughout the day.

How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure your hip circumference at the widest point of the hips and buttocks. The Medium size fits a hip circumference of 30" to 36". If your measurement falls at the boundary between sizes, consider your body shape and the intended use — a slightly snugger fit provides more compression, while a slightly looser fit is more comfortable for extended daily wear. The hook-and-loop closure allows adjustment within the size range for a customized fit.

Can this brace be worn under clothing during work?
Yes. The lightweight, low-profile construction is designed to be worn discreetly under standard work clothing. The 5" front panel keeps the abdominal profile relatively flat, and the hook-and-loop closure lies flat against the body without creating significant bulk under a shirt or uniform. For workers who need lumbar support throughout the workday, the adjustable hook-and-loop closure also makes it easy to loosen or tighten the brace during breaks without removing it completely.
