1. Gather Your Supplies

• Measuring tape
• A mirror (optional, but useful for checking measurements)
• A friend or family member (optional, but can help with accuracy)

2. Measure Your Waist Circumference

• Stand up straight and relax your abdomen.
• Locate your natural waistline, which is typically just above your belly button and below your ribcage.
• Wrap the measuring tape around your waist, making sure it is level and snug but not too tight.
• Record the measurement in centimeters or inches.

3. Measure Your Hip Circumference

• Stand up straight with your feet together.
• Find the widest part of your hips.
• Wrap the measuring tape around your hips, keeping it parallel to the floor.
• Ensure the tape is snug but not compressing your skin.
• Record the measurement in centimeters or inches.

4. Measure Your Torso Length

• Start from the top of your hip bone, which is approximately where the back brace will sit.
• Measure up to the lower part of your ribcage, or where you would like the brace to end.
• Keep the tape straight and parallel to the floor.
• Record this measurement in centimeters or inches.

5. Consult the Size Chart

• Compare your measurements with the Bauerfeind LORDOLOC size chart below.
• Match your waist and hip measurements to find your recommended size.
• If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider the following:
  • For a tighter, more secure fit, choose the smaller size.
  • For a more comfortable, relaxed fit, opt for the larger size.

6. Check for Fit and Comfort

• Once you receive your brace, try it on to ensure it fits comfortably and provides the necessary support.
• Adjust the straps and fastenings as needed for a secure and comfortable fit.

1. Cleaning:

• Hand Wash Only: Gently hand wash the back brace in lukewarm water (max. 30°C / 86°F) with mild detergent.
• Avoid Soaking: Do not soak the brace; instead, gently agitate the water to clean.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all detergent is rinsed out thoroughly.

2. Drying:

• Air Dry: Lay the brace flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the brace.
• Do Not Tumble Dry: Never use a tumble dryer or any form of direct heat (such as radiators or hair dryers) to dry the brace. This can damage the materials.

3. Storage:

• Keep Dry: Store the brace in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture.
• Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the brace away from sharp objects or surfaces that could damage the material.

4. Avoid:

• Bleach and Fabric Softeners: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or other harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric and reduce the brace’s effectiveness.
• Ironing: Do not iron the brace. High temperatures can cause material deformation.

5. Inspection:

• Regular Checks: Regularly inspect the brace for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, contact customer service for advice on repair or replacement.

6. Additional Tips:

• Use a Liner: Consider using a sweat-absorbing liner between the brace and your skin to help keep the brace clean and reduce the need for frequent washing.
• Avoid Excessive Moisture: Try to keep the brace dry during use to maintain its structural integrity.
