We suggest wearing the support over your "underwear" rather than
directly against the skin. Cotton or new "wicking" fabrics work best.
Position the BackWonder with the center of the cinch straps centered
on your back. You'll note that the buckle will then be offset to one
side.
Now position LOW, so that the belt is BELOW your hip bones.
With the belt properly positioned, thread the end of the belt through
the metal buckle and pull for a snug fit. Locks firmly in place with
Velcro.
Now reach back and grab each "cinch strap" by the webbing at its' end
and pull firmly, again, securing with Velcro.
Move around a little to make sure it feels secure and comfortable. Sit
down to make sure the belt is comfortable and does not cut into your
thighs.
