Wearing Instructions:
- Position the Brace: Place the main body of the back brace around your lower back, ensuring the central support panel is aligned with your spine. The FREETOO logo should be visible at the front.
- Secure the Main Belt: Wrap the main belt around your waist and secure the primary hook-and-loop fastener at the front. It should be snug but not uncomfortably tight.
- Adjust Compression Straps: Pull the two elastic compression straps forward from the sides. These straps allow for additional, customizable compression. Secure them to the front panel using their hook-and-loop fasteners. Adjust until you achieve the desired level of support and comfort.
- Check for Fit: Ensure the brace feels secure and supportive without restricting breathing or movement. The silicone anti-skid bands should help keep the brace in place.

4. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your FREETOO Back Brace and maintain its effectiveness.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash the brace in cold water with a mild detergent.
- Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and elastic properties.
- Air Dry: Lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Direct heat can degrade the materials.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking properties and the grip of the hook-and-loop fasteners.
Storage:
Store the brace in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are closed to prevent them from snagging on other fabrics.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your FREETOO Back Brace, consider the following:
- Brace Rolling Up/Down: Ensure the brace is sized correctly according to the waist measurement. The silicone anti-skid bands are designed to prevent this; check if they are positioned correctly against your skin or clothing. Adjust the tightness of the main belt and compression straps for a snug fit.
- Discomfort or Excessive Pressure: Re-adjust the compression straps. The brace should provide firm support but not cause pain or restrict breathing. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size.
- Hook-and-Loop Fasteners Losing Grip: Over time, lint or debris can accumulate in the fasteners. Clean them gently with a brush or lint roller to restore adhesion.
- Reduced Support: Check if the stays are still intact and properly positioned within their pockets. Ensure the brace is worn correctly and adjusted to the appropriate tightness.
If problems persist, please contact FREETOO customer support for assistance.
