Is this the right choice to wear when handling square-bale hay all day long? Back only hurts after throwing hay all day; takes a week to quit hurtin

You might try a Mueller 6753 - Adjustable Back and Abdominal Support. See http://muellerrx.com/adjustable-back-and-abdominal-support/

Not in my opinion. Per my review, the lumbar bands are too long as currently designed. Slacking off the tension in order to find an anchor point defeats the lumbar support, an element definitely needed for loading hay.

I have not worn it all day but my guess is that it would be comfortable for an extended wear. I found it very comfortable to workout in.

I wear mine on skin and it stays right wear I place it. I haven't worn it over clothing yet, so I can't speak to whether it stays in place that way or not. I have LOVED this belt, and if I had known of it 1 1/2 years sooner, I would be $1000s richer w/o having spent it in P.T., Chiro, pain management injections, etc., all of which didn't do anything to help my problem. Best wishes to you and I sincerely hope you get as much if not more relief from the belt as I did!!!!

I had the same problem. The bales I ordered in April and June were fresh and lovely, the bale that came in August was scratchy and dry and my bunny didn't like it. I'm going to order one more bale and see how it goes, the move on to something else. I tried to grow my own hay at home, but the terrible heat wave in mid-June killed it. Sigh

Yes. After a couple hours it might start become a little uncomfortable and sweaty, but can be worn all day. I myself use it most of the day.

My Morab wears a cob. The horse size was too loose and tended to stretch and become loose. I would suggest cob size. The mask is VERY stretchy but doesn't seem to be too tight when on.

I sit most days at work as well as drive while wearing it. You do wear it low, but I haven't had a problem with it slipping up. I wear it under my clothes, not over. If I wear it over my clothes, I found it slipped more easily. You might try watching a Youtube video to be sure you are placing it correctly around your back.

Well its a soft collar, so I would think for a while till your pain level says to stop.I found it very comfortable and it helped me.

Seat padding is fine. Back support leans back a bit and I find myself unconsciously tilting my head forward. 8 hours, perhaps?

I was using mine every other day to start out, but it really depends on how much pressure you apply when using it. If all you are getting is some general reddening of the area, every other day is fine. If you are more aggressive and getting pin-prick bleeding (which would be a bit much for the delicate area around the eye), I would give the skin at least a week or more between rolling so it has a chance to heal and bring collagen to the area.

Comfort is a very personal observation. I do not consider it uncomfortable to use. You have to be aware of one thing in particular though. If you don't need the headband on for what you're doing, then you will want to slip it off. Don't just try to push it up out of the way because it won't stay up. It will fall down an\d and give you a whack on the nose. I use this headband to look at very small seashells when I need a hands-free handling situation. For 7 or 8 dollars or whatever I paid for it, it's the greatest. I'm going to get a couple more for my nephews who also like to collect things. Comfort is a very personal observation.

sorry it took so long to respond. I don't have long hair but i don't have any issues with the velcro. If you keep it loose then i don't see why you would have issues on back or side. Most important for me is that its comfortable and doesn't cover your nose. Honestly though, my favorite one so far is from REI.

Hello, All three of us in our family use this and we love it but sad to say it doesn't last that long for us... it may be because we live in Louisiana where it's humid and we "glisten" or "sweat" all year round. it'll last 48hours at the most for us. But we love it because it's a great natural alternative and comfortable to wear. I've used other natural products and have hated the smell or the sticky feeling and it really has stopped me from using those anymore but Lavilin has made it's way into our daily live and regimin comfortably. My Husband doesn't even notice it's "Natural".

Hi Jenny,When doing kickbacks it is difficult to alleviate the weights from grazing my side. When doing extensions, I must hold the weight by the ends, in which case the opposite end hits my shoulder. I still find I can workout effectively- but it is sort of a headache. I definitely would not bother with any other type of set however- unless you can find one which is much smaller, as this set seems well made thus far. Also though, if you are looking to just maintain good physical fitness, and are not too concerned with having varying weight capabilities, you may want to consider some kettlebells as those would definitely fix the problem of bulk. I hope this helps! Best wishes. Hi Jenny,When doing kickbacks it is difficult to alleviate the weights from grazing my side.

I don't think I'd recommend that. Wearing it for 6+ hours would probably leave you rather sore, especially if you're not used to it. I usually wear mine for only 2-3 hours a day.

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!
