Anyone that reads my reviews knows that I tend to use things in ways other than they where designed to be used. This is one of those cases.

For years I would wake up with lower back pain. I don't know why I get it or how I get it, but every morning it would hurt like bloody hell. I have been to see chiropractors and all kinds of doctors. I've heard all kinds of things as to why I have the problem. But my general practitioner doctor came up with the best idea to help me. Because I am a belly sleeper, she suggested that I sleep with a pillow under my belly to get my butt up in the air to help with my back. Well, that would work, save for I kill pillows very very fast. So I needed something that I couldn't kill in a few weeks to sleep on to help my back.

I picked up The Liberator Jaz in the hopes of finding a bit more relief for my poor little back. It comes in cherry, lime, blue, grape, fuchsia, and charcoal. I picked up the lime one because for some reason I just love that acid green. It's made out of foam, polyester and micro-suede. It's detentions are: length; fourteen and a half inches, width; eighteen inches, and at it's highest; six inches. There is the micro-suede cover over the whole wedge and is very soft to the touch. It can be unzipped and actually washed in the washing machine and tossed in the dryer. So if you slop lube or other bodily fluids, it's very easy to take care of. There is also an inner polyester case right over the foam core. That polyester case helps keep the foam dry and clean. It's a lot like a dust cover for any other pillow. It's also totally water resistant.

The only real problem that the foam core doesn't give at all. There is no fun squishy feeling with The Jaz. The hard feeling is great for getting the tail up for different positions in different ways. But it makes it a bit hard to sleep on.

But when it comes to sleeping on it, it got my ass up in the air just enough that I didn't wake up with any back pain at all. I also have put it between my legs when I sleep on my side to keep my back alined properly and it is the perfect width for that. It's also much easier on my husband sharing the bed with me and the Jaz than a body pillow. When I have used a body pillow, both it and i tend to push on him some in the bed.

But the Jaz gets me into the position that I sleep the best in. And for the first time in years I am waking up not in pain, well rested and feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed.

As I did say, this is something that I sleep on usually to help with my back. I have lost a lot of weight since I got it, and it works even better now than it did at first.
