Sweat Smart Waist Trimmer does provide back support but is not intended for this use.
The Sweat Smart Waist Trimmer is not a corset nor does it function like a corset.
Please do not wear over any open wounds, or if you're susceptible to dermatitis or allergic to Neoprene.
Do not wear for more than 2 hours as Neoprene is designed to be worn for only short periods of time.
Do not wear while sleeping. If you develop a rash discontinue use immediately.
New Neoprene often has something similar to a "wetsuit smell".
Don't worry, this will dissipate over a short time by washing and normal exposure to air.
