Back pain and aches

Has anyone on here had any experience with back braces. The weight of my belly hang is really starting to strain my lower back. Short walks or standing for any length of time really makes it uncomfortable. I want to continue wearing my pants under my belly...this is just more comfortable for me but I have read about things like obesity belts or belly bras. Just wondered if anyone here had tried them with any success? I feel like if I could simply distribute some of the belly weight to my shoulders it would be so much easier than having it all pulling on my middle to lower back area.
