    Hi Marlowe,

    We have not had any rust on Immy's brace.

    You may get a better response if you post in the Spinecor thread.

    I hope Halle is getting on better with her brace now.

      We've had ours for a year - no rust at all.

      Is the rust on the snaps or the crotch strap buckles? Both can easily be replaced.

      What are you using to wash the brace? Do you have unusually hard water?

      Hope your daughter is adjusting well

        wow, i am surprised that nobody else has rusting, i wonder why ours has... i don't believe we have hard water. they are both in the exact same area, you know the square loops (or whatever you would call them) that attach to the pelvic part? they are just on there, it's weird.

        my daughter is adjusting better recently, i haven't been getting calls to work 3 days a week saying her back hurts in a couple weeks.

                We noticed some rust starting to develop after its first wash as my daughter has only been wearing it for a week or so.
