How to choose a warming belt for the back for lower back pain?

Fur coats are in great demand today. Representatives of the fair sex, taking advantage of the onset of cold weather, choose fur coats from mink, mouton, rabbit, silver fox, chinchilla, and sable. Fur coats come in short and long. Mid-length products are also in demand. But all women know that regardless of the model and length of the product, it is important that the fur coat has a belt. He can amazingly make even the most ordinary model incredibly beautiful. After all, a belt can emphasize femininity and emphasize the beauty of a woman’s waist.

What is a lumbar belt?

This is a device that is made of stretchable material and is worn on the lower back for therapeutic and preventive purposes. May have inserts, stiffeners and tapes for tightening. Used in combination with other means to warm up the lumbar region and relieve symptoms. The material of the warming belt contains the hair of various animals.

The product does not interfere with motor functions; some models are well hidden under clothing. They can be worn at home, at work and other places.

What kind of sash is it?

The difference between this accessory and other belts is its impressive width. Initially, sashes were a men's accessory for decorating caftans. They were made exclusively from leather and satin. But enterprising women could not ignore the interesting model. Therefore, a wide belt migrated to a slender female waist. Emphasizing the beauty of the female figure, the sash has changed into different versions.

Now it is made from leather, fabric, cords. The specimens decorated with metal fittings received special love. Textile options are perfect for a dress or blouse. For a fur coat, coarser raw materials will look better. Leather or leatherette is an ideal option.

Main benefit

When wearing a warming belt for the lower back, the thermal effect is combined with massage and soft support for the torso. In this case, the mobility of the vertebrae is limited. This helps fight muscle spasms and inflammatory diseases of the spine.

The benefits of such belts are obvious:

• muscle relaxation;
• vasodilation;
• relieving pain and spasms in the lower back;
• activation of metabolism;
• distribution of the center of gravity along the spine;
• preventing sprains and injuries.

Important!
Wearing warming belts also has a preventive effect: the belt helps your back not get too cold. This is an excellent help at any time of the year with drafts, which often lead to serious ailments.

Wide belt by yourself

To sew a leather belt yourself, you won’t need a lot of time and material. The pattern of a sash for a fur coat is adjusted based on your waist size. You can narrow the main part to the ties, either sharply or smoothly. It all depends on the taste of the hostess. If the volume is up to 75 cm, you need a cut equal to 75/15 cm.

The total length of the product will be 210 cm. It is convenient to make the width of the main part 9 cm - this is the size of the widest part. Make the length of the ties to your taste, and the width is suitable - 2 cm. Carefully approach the choice of raw materials. The skin should have a dense structure. It is advisable that it does not stretch.

Necessary steps:

• We cut out 3 parts: the middle - wide and two ties, narrower.
• Using matching threads, sew the ties onto the middle piece. We use a zigzag. It happens that the machine cannot cope with the skin. Then you have to sew by hand. You can use a machine and make a stitch without thread. Then an even seam will come out easily.
• The next step is to stitch along the entire edge of the waistband. This will prevent stretching and ensure accuracy.

Important! For ease of cutting, it is better to use a knife on a special mat. Use a metal ruler to cut straight lines!

By making a successful pattern and creating your own model of a sash, you will not only save on the purchase of a leather product, but you will also be able to look great even in winter!

Types of lumbar belts

Warming belts can be made in the form of a corset, a supportive bandage or a narrow wide belt. Examples and detailed descriptions of a variety of models are available here.

Belts can also be divided by shape and structure:

1. Rigid corsets. Reduces the load on the spine and supports the back muscles. These corsets have plastic or metal ribs. Strongly fixes the torso. Can only be used after a doctor's prescription.
2. Semi-rigid belts. They help relieve pain and have a supporting effect, maintaining the mobility of the musculoskeletal system. Made from dense, low-stretch material. There are usually no stiffeners.
3. Elastic warming belts. Made from knitted fabric. The main function is warming. Such products do not fix the spine. Excellent for those who need to insulate the lumbar area, reducing the risk of inflammatory back diseases.

Belts also vary in material. Synthetic and natural raw materials are used. The best of them is considered to be the “fur coat” of animals, because it is wool that reliably protects from the cold.

The most common options:

1. Camel's wool. It has excellent warming properties and is also attractive due to its low allergenicity. Another feature is a strong massage effect. This is both a plus and a minus, because the characteristic is associated with the prickly structure of camel hair. Not everyone can withstand this, however, the belt cannot be worn on a naked body.
2. Dog's fur. It is also very warm, and it comes in different hardnesses; there are also very soft types of dog fur. But a belt made from it is more allergenic and may have a specific odor.
3. Sheep. Belts made from it are delicate, soft, light. Wool contains lanolin, which is good for the skin. The products are not as warm as those made from dog and camel hair, but the warming effect is still good.
4. Angora. The belts are also quite soft, which are good for people with sensitive skin.
5. Merino. This is not ordinary sheep's wool. Merino is a breed of fine-wool sheep that is distinguished by high-quality worsted or combed wool, consisting of thin, soft fibers. Accordingly, belts made from this wool are delicate and soft. They are also wear-resistant, so they can be used for a long time without losing their properties.

Belts made of faux fur, fleece and other materials are lighter, they have good hygienic qualities and rarely cause irritation to the skin, but in terms of warmth they are much inferior to products made from natural wool, and this is the main function of warming products.

Separately, it is worth highlighting another option - a belt made of neoprene or rubber. This material is elastic, created on the basis of rubber and does not allow air to pass through. Some people use a neoprene belt to slim down their belly. It warms up quickly, but does not allow sweat to be removed well. It is also called a sauna belt, and is used to protect ligaments and muscles from sprains and injuries.

Important!
The neoprene belt holds the muscles well, so it can be used when playing sports. You can wear it for a maximum of 2-3 hours, after which you need a break!

What to look for when choosing an accessory

In order for the belt to successfully complement the stylish beauty of a fur coat and emphasize the dignity of the figure, the choice of accessory should be taken seriously. When choosing a belt, you need to take into account:

• Fur length. When choosing a belt for a fur coat with long-haired fur, you should not buy a heavily decorated model - it will still get lost against the background of long pile, but for short-haired models the choice is not limited.

• Fur quality. Before you decorate your fur coat with a belt, you should make sure that the fur is soft enough. A mouton coat or a mink coat with a belt will look elegant, but the owner of a wolf coat (or other fur with a hard base) will have to refuse such an accessory. A rigid base, tied with a belt, will break, creating unsightly folds.

How to choose a warming belt?

To choose the right belt, consider the properties of each wool.

If you are allergic or sensitive to odors, avoid a belt made from dog hair, as it often has a specific odor, which is especially noticeable when wet (sweating). A camel wool belt will suit you well, as it has excellent warming properties and low allergenicity.

Belts made from dog, yak and camel wool are considered especially warm.

Yak and badger fur are also considered allergenic. Yak fur is very warm, but thick and heavy, but it massages well, like badger and camel fur. But remember that the massage properties of wool are usually associated with its stiffness and prickliness, so this may not be suitable for sensitive skin.

By purchasing such an important product in a random store, you are not insured against counterfeit or low-quality goods. It is important that the seams are strong and the upholstery is uniform.

Buy belts that are made in production conditions. They are usually neat, securely stitched and have undergone the necessary processing. This means that they do not have an unpleasant odor or risk of contracting some kind of infection.

It is important that the belt fits you. Before purchasing, measure:

• Waist;
• circumference of the hips and abdomen.

We recommend taking measurements right before purchasing to ensure the dimensions are accurate.

Important!
Consult your physician before using the belt. Rigid corsets can be worn only after its appointment. In any case, the doctor can give advice on how to choose a belt and wear it correctly.

Leather belts

Leather belts are suitable for almost any fur coat, you just have to choose the right model. According to the method of fixation, leather belts can differ in the following options:

• Sticky. A leather belt is tied at the waist with a simple knot, like a similar product made of fur.

• With original fixation. Such products are made quite long with a wider middle and narrow ends. They are wrapped twice around the waist and the short ends are tied in an unusual knot. As a rule, wide belts are not recommended for short fur coats with a hood, but there is an exception to the rule. If you look at the photo below, such a leather sash looks very stylish on a short mink coat.
• With buckle. Here the emphasis is on decorating the buckle. Such a belt will look good on a short-haired fur coat made of rabbit, mink or other fur.

There are different types of leather used for belts, so you can choose an accessory for any fur coat model.

Silk

Belts made of natural silk look festive and unusual, but are only suitable for thin fur (mink, rabbit). Silk products have several advantages:

• Less wrinkles and wiping of fur coat pile.

• Allows you to change the appearance by changing the way of tying (and you can have several belts that match the fur coat).
• Gives a fur product a luxurious look.
• Has a simple pattern. Those who know how to sew can make a silk belt with their own hands.

Which belt is better? This question cannot be answered unambiguously. Each woman chooses a belt for herself independently, based on her own preferences, body shape and fur coat model.
