I received the Bodymate Compression brace for hip/sciatica pain relief and groin wrap for pulled muscles for free in exchange for an honest review. This brace comes in black, with an elastic Velcro waist band and thigh band. Wrap the band around your waist first and then around the thigh. I used it on my right leg for my sciatic pain and did not feel like it did anything. The Velcro rubbed on the inside of my leg and ruined the other side of my leggings. If you put it on the left leg though, the Velcro is on the outside of the Velcro, which doesn't cause issues. I did feel some compression, but I feel like I couldn't get it tight enough to get a good amount of pressure though. It was also somewhat difficult in the beginning to put it on and get everything lined up correctly. I have used this brace on and off for several weeks now and I don't feel like it is making a difference in my sciatic pain in my right lower back area. I also feel like it makes my lower back hurt more. It may work for others though with different issues. I am about 5 feet tall and have a small frame. It seems to fit all right, I would say it is for larger body build because of the way the Velcro rubs on inner leg. There is plenty of room for a larger person to fit in the belt. The Velcro works well and doesn't come off. Something I found lacking was the instructions were only in pictures. It didn't use words to describe where exactly to place brace on waist and thigh or how tight to make it. So I may just not be using it correctly. I have seen some reviews that were successful for people and others who say it doesn't work, just like I am saying. So you can try it out and see for yourself if you would like.
