Hmmm. My wife has a yoga mat in the basement that she might not notice if it went missing.

What do you think about this lumbar brace? It's so cheap I just ordered one. It's always fun for me to order stuff from aliexpress because by the time it arrives, I usually forgot what I ordered, so it's like a present to my future self.
