How snug a fit should the belt be with the side flaps pulled forward? I can stretch them completely to the opposite edge of the Velcro overlapping.

the paper say overlap the right over the left to your choice the more you stretch it the tighter it will be on your back and waist i think to tight can hurt your stomach and stop you from moving full pace . i think i my have brought mine to big thinking i was going to buy it to small but the 2xl is for ppl with 42 waist and over the bad thing about this brace is that if you bend over alot the straps begin to bunch and you have to adjust it time to time if u feel like it but for its price with all the lifting i do i sure dont have back pains like i used to

If your talking about the elastic side things they can stretch all the way around.

The belt should be snug enough to where you are able to bend, stretch, or squat. If the belt pops a loose you will probably need to adjust it. Start with outer belt first and then the inner belt. If the belt keeps coming a loose, get a bigger size belt. If overlaps to much, you need a smaller size.Hopes this help."November"

I would probably try and find something a little smaller. I'm not tall by any means (5' 7'') but it is a bit constrictive. I wear a 29 waist and it fits but I definitely have to tighten it far down the Velcro.

I would recommend a small. It will provide you a good tight fit without a lot if excess belt getting in your way.

the velcro is on the flaps...you adjust the amount of overlap of the flaps to a snug fit and press together to velcro closed

As the velcro does not cover across entire belt up to protective flap (grayed material at the end), it needs some work to make it adaptable to small arms. This is require you spend some moment to put in your arm comfortable position and doesn't unfold. (observation made from my own experience who has small arm).

Might be a little snug if it adds more than a quarter inch. The Velcro patch gives it some extra wiggle room for length too. Thickness and width should be no problems at all.

It's kinda long and stretchy...my waist is 28-30 and it fits me. If you want it tight (which I do for back support), you shouldn't have a problem. The Velcro is nice and wide and doesn't slip. If it's not tight enough for you, you can always have a friend or hubby help wrap you up! ;)

Absolutely. Half of the belt buckle is permanently attached to one end of the belt. The other end of the belt goes through the other half of the buckle and folds back over itself and secures with Velcro. Almost the entire length of belt has soft side with a small patch on other end of rough side. The belt's minimum setup is 28 inches and the maximum is 48 inches. Any and every finite adjustment of waist size in between is possible. When setup properly, the belt folds inward and no Velcro is shown. Also the joining of the two sides of Velcro is held tight by the pressure of being sandwiched between the outside of the belt and your body so it is very secure. Absolutely.

The I belt I have is rigid across the webbing due to the extra velcro sewn into it.

The belt loop will fit a belt about 2 1/2 inches wide. It also has a side-ways or length wise belt loop that's 3 inches wide plus a metal belt clip that stays pretty snug. My only complaint is the velcro needs to be bigger so you could better adjust the flap. All in all, for the money I think it's worth it. Hope this helps. P.S. I use this at work everyday. I also cut the stitching on the inside to better fit my phone and blue tooth device I carry in it.

The manufacture suggests wetting the belt can help it slide on but I was able to slid it on dry and it stays in place just fine. The fit should be snug, but if you can't get it on at all I'd probably contact the seller / manufacturer.

I have a 34 waist and the belt will adjust either way to fit waist sizes smaller or larger than mine. Hope this helps.

I'm also a 32", and I just got my small sized belt today. I put it on, and right away came back to my computer and ordered the medium. Go with a size up from what the chart said unless your smack in the middle of those measurements. The Velcro goes practically all the way around so it wont be an issue snugging up a larger belt. Ill give my small one away, this thing, even though to small on me, is way to awesome to send back!

Hmmm just did some measurements. For me, after wrapping around my leg there is about 36"-37" left to go around the waist without any stretching. A lot depends on how much you need to go around your leg. I am a tall, slim woman so bear that in mind when looking at the 36-37 inches left after wrapping the leg. The Velcro is very secure so if stretched tightly it probably won't come loose. My opinion is that is will not work...just not long enough. Probably not what you were hoping for. Sorry.

you need to measure around the waist where the belt will sit. Look at the messurements on the belt and match them with the size you need to order. Unfortunately we did not do that and ended up ordering the wrong size and it was way to big. When we messured and matched that with the belt I reordered and the belt it fit perfectly.

They both change. I've got a 32" waist...and used to have a large. It was OK, but when I really cinched it up? I had about 3 inches of velcro BEYOND the length of the adhesion strip. So now I have a medium, and it's perfect.You can cinch this thing up like a corset...it's so good that way. I love it!!! Buy the smallest one you can.

My belt is one & eighth inches & fits well. I think an inch & a quarter might be max, at least with the one I have. For me, the pouch works great. My phone is a galaxy s 5 with a Spigen cover.
