Sacroiliac Hip Belt for Women and Men That Alleviates…

Review Title: Works great for sciatica... and apparently has a hidden bonus feature

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2026

Day 1: Put the belt on. Immediate urge to poop. Day 2: Took the belt off. Immediate urge to poop. I don't know what kind of ancient chiropractic wizardry this thing possesses, but it has somehow become the most expensive poop button I own. In all seriousness, it does provide good support and has helped with my SI joint/sciatica symptoms. Just... maybe use the restroom before putting it on. Or taking it off. Apparently both are hazardous events in my house.

Review Title: Saved my mobility before my doctor's appointment

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2026

Developed something along the lines of sciatica or piriformis syndrome maybe osteoarthritis in my spine. Whatever it is that’s for the doctor to sort out. In the meantime walking was becoming so painful that I was nearly in tears, limping heavily and ready to stop trying. Husband had a very old one of these belts, from when it was a prescription. Tried his and like a miracle I could function with minimal pain. But it was very old actually disintegrating so I found this one here. They are identical in design and function only difference is newer materials used now. I literally couldn’t have made it to the doctor appointment without this belt. It’s does the job of holding the moving parts in the hip joints together providing support. Is it comfortable? Not the highlight of my attire and rather irritating after many hours. But it keeps the pain dialed down to about half the intensity which makes it worth wearing. Sizing- I was within 1” of going to the next size up. Very glad I did not as this size is doing the job well.

Review Title: The newly improved model is easily number one

[Edit 07/2022] Upgraded from 3 to 5 stars. I stopped working out when the pandemic started, and was able to mostly ignore my SI joint. Sure, it still hurts in some circumstances, I have to be very careful about the chairs I use when working for hours, and I know it's going to hurt when I walk for a long time, but day-to-day, it was ok. I started working out again a few weeks ago, and remembered I had these belts, and decided to try wearing them more often than I used to. Been wearing my Vriksasana belt all day, and at night. It really, really helps, but it's still too big and too flexible. Since they now make a smaller size (yay) so I bought it right away and have been wearing it for a couple of days. The first one was good for that usage, this one is miles better. First, it's smaller, so I can actually tighten it correctly. It's also less flexible, providing more support. The elastic bands are different, there is now two on each side, crossing each other. Those make a huge difference and the belt has a much better support than the old one did. I can feel the difference as soon as I put it on - my back stops hurting, my sacrum stops popping. I've worn it at night twice now - it didn't move. The old one tended to ride up an inch or two, this one didn't. I also wore it for a run today. Again, super comfortable, didn't move, didn't ride up, and I could feel the added support. My sacrum, my hips, and my lower back don't hurt at all, which they often did before. Lastly, since it's smaller, it's also a lot thinner because I don't have four layers on top of each other anymore (two layers of the belt, and the two wings). So it's much easier to wear underneath my clothes so I don't have to take the whole thing off and on again every time I go to the bathroom. Also, no more weird bulge around my lower belly. It's extremely comfortable to wear against the skin, and doesn't make me sweat anymore. I've tried numerous SI belts. All had pros and cons. The Vriksasana was in my top 3. This new improved model, in a smaller size, is easily number one. Get one.

[OLD REVIEW 2019] I have had SI joint issues (left side) and pelvic instability for a few years. I started wearing the Serola belt, and found that this is exactly what I need, both at home and in the gym. I Bought this one in addition to the Serola because it is wider and I thought that would be better for wearing in certain circumstances, when I find that I have to wear the belt a tad higher than what is normally advised (when lifting weights in the gym, I wear it about 1/2 inch higher on my hips than I do when just sitting around at home). Comparing the two belts, here's my pros and cons: Pros - it is wider, which is good for me, both for my usage as stated above, and because I have high hips. I can wear it as advised (aligned with the hip/thigh crease) and have it cover and support my hip bones. - it is thinner, making it easier to wear and conceal under tight clothes. - it is more flexible (see cons) and softer, more comfortable Cons - I'm a woman, tall (5'11") and my hips are about 40.5". I ordered the Regular according to the chart. The belt is almost too big. The sticker confirmed I received the right size. I have to tighten it to the max, both the underlayer and the compression wings, which I have to velcro one on top of the other. Still, I wish I could tighten it more. As a result, it does not give me as much support as the Serola. There is only two sizes, so if you're an average sized woman, smaller than me, then I advise you to look elsewhere. - The material (neoprene), while pleasing and soft, makes me sweat. Overall, this belt is more comfortable than the Serola (except for the sweating), but less effective for me. It'd be better is it were smaller.
