Same Support; Less Bulk

I absolutely love this brace.  My prior brace was about twice as long as this one and I wore it out becuase I have had it for entirely too many years.  When I saw this one, I figured I would give it a shot.  The braces on the side are shorter than the one I previously had but given the amount of weight I have lost, I figured that would be okay.  Not only is it okay, it is perfect.  It isn't anywhere near as bulky as the one I replaced with it and it is also much easier to adjust for that perfect fit.  

Because it is small and only covers the area that it needs too, it also has the benefit of not being as hot as others.  Not only does it only cover the area that needs the support, it doesn't get as hot as the other ones and you don't seem to have to make it as tight as the alternatives either.  Also, because it is so much easier to adjust, take on and off, and use - you don't have to leave it on when you aren't going to be up moving around for awhile.  I use to leave mine on just because it was such a hassle to get it on and off, it was easier to just deal with the annoyance of having it on in the first place.  Not so with this one!
