3. Setup and Wearing Instructions
Follow these steps to properly wear your Rakiie Lumbar Support Back Brace:
- Position the Brace: Place the back brace around your lower back, ensuring the removable 3D support pad is centered over your lumbar region. The "UP" arrow on the brace should point upwards. For optimal comfort, it is recommended to wear the brace over your clothing.
- Secure the Main Strap: Bring the main Velcro straps from both sides to the front and secure them firmly across your abdomen. Adjust for a snug but comfortable fit.
- Adjust Compression Straps: Take the two additional elastic compression straps located on the sides. Pull them forward and secure them over the main Velcro strap. These straps allow you to customize the level of compression and support.
- Verify Fit: Ensure the brace feels secure and supportive without restricting movement or causing discomfort. The 8-point support system and 3D pad should provide targeted pressure to your lower back.

4. Operating Instructions (Adjusting Compression)
The Rakiie Lumbar Support Back Brace allows for dynamic adjustment of compression to suit your activity level and comfort needs:
- Increasing Compression: To increase support, pull the elastic compression straps tighter before securing them. This will provide a firmer hold and more pronounced lumbar support.
- Decreasing Compression: For less restrictive support, loosen the elastic compression straps slightly. This is ideal for periods of lower activity or when a lighter level of support is desired.
- Removable Pad: The 3D support pad can be removed if you prefer a flatter back support or wish to wash the main brace separately. It is secured by Velcro inside the brace.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Rakiie Lumbar Support Back Brace:
- Washing: Hand wash the brace with mild soap in cold water. Remove the 3D support pad before washing.
- Drying: Air dry completely. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, or iron, as this may damage the materials and affect the brace's effectiveness.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Rakiie Lumbar Support Back Brace, consider the following:
- Discomfort or Improper Fit: Re-measure your waist and compare it to the size chart. Ensure the brace is positioned correctly with the 3D pad centered on your lumbar region. Adjust the main and compression straps to find a comfortable level of support.
- Reduced Support: Check if the Velcro fasteners are clean and free of lint, which can reduce their grip. Ensure the elastic straps are pulled sufficiently tight for the desired support level.
- Skin Irritation: Always wear the brace over clothing to prevent direct contact with skin, especially if you have sensitive skin. Ensure the brace is not overtightened.
If problems persist, please contact Rakiie customer support.
