Wrap is well made and very good. I hoped it would help with back problems and it is indeed helpful [using the overlap at the back so that two layers can support my back]. Perhaps in principle not as good as a wrap with support metal or plastic rods, but in practice rods only push up when you sit down so essentially they do not work. Having lost height, probably I will have to cut some of the north/south height off and edge the garment but that is a small thing to do. Thank you for this alternative support for my very elderly back.
