This item was received from a family member and has been hardly used. Since it wasn't purchased by us, we're offering it at a price that covers only the shipping, packaging materials, and a minimal handling fee. There are no stains, but there is a general sense of use. Also, there is a slight bend from storage (the stiff part that wraps around the waist). The elastic part is also stretched out (see photos 6 & 7). There are no instructions. If you need them, I can't post a URL here, but I will provide it in the comments after purchase. Dads Way inspection seal present.
