After many uses accumulating sweat each time, it's beginning to smell. What is recommended for cleaning? Thank you
Handwashing the Breath Belt in warm water with liquid detergent and hanging it to dry would be the best option.
Is the material hypoallergenic? Can I safely wear it under my shirt without causing an allergy?
The material is not noted to be hypoallergenic. However, we've not heard of anyone having an allergic reaction from wearing the belt. Most athletes have worn them under their shirt without issue, but everyone is different. So, if someone is known to have irritation, itching and issues from tightly worn garments that may rub, it would not be recommended for that person to use the Breath Belt under clothing.

Can it be worn underneath traditional weight belts?
In theory you could, however it would probably be uncomfortable.
Does the belt come with lacrosse balls, tennis balls etc. to put in the sleeves to do the activation bit or does it have objects in place?
The belt does not come with any additional objects or implements.
I’m wondering if this belt can be used during heavy lifts?
It can, and it certainly won't fail. The difference is that it won't provide the same stiffness and support as traditional leather belt.
Hi I have a few items and looking getting this belt.. 1.Is it meant to be used in competition. 2. Reading the information about I assume it helps create IP of the core when I breathe into my gut better then a lever belt.. 3. Will it help with keeping my spine more rigid and netural as Dr. McGill advocates in his publications.
Hello, I'll address the various questions in order: 1. Yes, this belt can be used in competition 2 & 3. A belt is meant to help increase rigidity around the midsection. It won't create intra abdominal pressure for you, but will help maximize it if you're doing it well. We have a lot of content around creating intra abdominal pressure on our video library on kabukistrength.com as well
