Deveoloped by the IAOM, the SI-LOC is tapered and wider at the innominates, so pressure is distributed more evenly. Unlike other belts, the internationally patented SI-LOC is not bulky under garments and breathable fabric adds comfort. Wide, medical grade, non-slip pads ensure that the SI-LOC stays in place. Available in two sizes. To fit, measure the pelvic circumference at a level one inch above most superior aspect of the greater trochanters. Measure carefully. Non-returnable. This small/medium size fits up to 30" - 46".

Summary: Changed my life.
Comment: I thought my Physical Therapist was crazy when he suggested this. I've had sharp searing pain for years in my pubic symphysis (feels like it is being ripped apart-- you can't breathe until it passes), I've broken my tailbone so it has fused in a malformed hook shape, along with hip and knee problems... Wearing this simple device has taken away one pain.
The hardest part was to stop wearing it after six months, you get used to the nice cradle feeling. But sadly if you don't stop using it the joint grows weak and you need it for life. I do keep it around for occasional flare ups though.
It can contribute to abdominal discomfort/ constipation, my solution was to pick up the maternity version- it has elastic and wraps tightly around, with a panel in the front to spread out the direct impact. It is not a normal maternity support, and would work for anyone with this problem.

Summary: Great service and an excellent product
Comment: Regarding the service: it was prompt and without a hitch.
I am using the Si-Loc belt for several years now (on and off) with no complains, quite the contrary. From my own personal experience, I was able to do everyday activities, including cleaning and lifting, with the belt on. Unlike previous belts I had, this one does not restrict my movements and it holds on nicely (except for riding up while sitting). I am using the belt as recommended to me by my chiropractor for lower back problems and muscles spasms. After several years, it is still working great and I love it so much that I ordered it for my mother. She loves it! It is sitting very comfortably and no one knows that it is there. This belt seems to sit better than my older belt and I was able to tight it better - and as of today, it held on even while sitting.

Summary: Happy
Comment: This belt is a complete relief!! Whenever my SI pain flares up, this helps to stabilize my hips and relieve the pain faster. I could not get through the flare ups without it.
Aesthetically, it looks fine, except under tight clothes, but that's to be expected. I think this belt is a cheaper option to many others out there. And it costs twice as much if you purchase it from a physical therapist.

Summary: Unfortunate waste of money
Comment: My PT asked me to order this belt to help with SI hypermobility as we retrained muscles. To our mutual dismay, the so-called "nonslip" pads are simply pieces of the same rubbery-weave stuff you roll out in the kitchen cabinet under china and crystal. And if you plan to move, it will slip upwards. I had to constantly stop to pull it downwards to keep it from riding up over my hipbones.
Previously it was applied at the low end of poundage advised, so we tightened it to the higher end in the hope it would stay in place better. Unfortunately, we found after only a few minutes the pressure this placed on cutaneous nerves was unbearable--and it STILL slipped.
Contrary to advertising, this belt does not have any appreciable padding and it is not any less bulky under clothing than others of a similar design. You're going to have bulging regardless if the belt is outside or inside your clothing, so get a belt you won't be trying to yank back in place under your pants.
The one good feature was that the hard plastic buckle can be worn to the front or offset to one side.
Quite the letdown, and of course, non-returnable.

Summary: Great Product - supports
Comment: I was told by my physical therapist to use this specific belt when doing strenuous activities such as yard work and laundry to lessen the joint from being aggravated. It works like a wonder when used with specific stretches given to you by a professional. I use it on a daily basis only during times where I will be doing lots of bending.
Once you take it off, you can feel how well it supports the SI joint and pelvis. Stretches following usage is needed to prevent any flare ups.
This is the best one out there because it breaths nicely, is comfortable and doesn't come with lots of bells and whistles.
Well worth the price.
