    Yes I own one I call it a SI belt but same thing. I am quite heavy so I had to have one custom made but the company I purchased it from. And their customer service was quite good. Unfortunately what I found was that it is very uncomfortable to wear. But I think the reason I find it so uncomfortable is because I'm so heavy. It does work though as long as you're wearing it. It won't be perfect particularly if you have other problems with your back but if you have a lot of SI joint issues it will help alot. Let me know if you want to know the name of the company I used. They sell this item in all different countries.

      I had one when I was pregnant with my third child. It was fantastic. My only issue was it having three straps which took ages to get to the loo!!

      Why in the world did you not wear it under your clothes so you didn't have to take it off?
