Medically approved - Italian Cotton - Men's Hernial Briefs - Inc.FREE Hernia Pads - Supplied to UK Hospitals for effective containment of inguinal hernia (Small 70)

Bought in desperation to alleviate a sometimes painfull Inguinal hernia and frankly wasn't sure what to expect. However having received and worn this item I can catagorically say that it has done the job and although I am not using the pads, the general construction/quality is so good that the measure of help that is being given is surprising. If I have any negative thoughts it is only that it is not easy to put on and takes a little practise to do so as the material is quite thick, stiff and stretchy and at first you think that their is now way you are going to get it on, but a little perseverence and hey presto it's on. Is it uncomfortable, well you'd think that it will be, but in reality once you have it on it is surprisingly comfortable and soon forget that you're actually wearing it. I have found that the easiest way to get it on is to turn the pants inside out get your legs in and then ease the leg holes into position and then pull the rest into position around your waist. Needless to say, taking a leak is not a problem, but anything else, if your in a hurry, is not easy!

Firstly, the size charts are too complicated. I ended up getting several sizes too large. I don't want to return cos who wants a pair of used elephant pants?Secondly, the instructions that come with them are useless. You are supposed to insert these pads into the front pockets. But the diagram is just a scribble for the pad with no clue how to orientate them.Overall, a bad purchase for me.

The briefs are very expensive but they are extremely effective. They were delivered very promptly and I found the service of the supplier very helpful. You must check the size to buy either directly, or via their website, because it is not obvious from the information given by Amazon, and size is crucial to comfort and effectiveness.

Very good but very pricey. A much folded handkerchief in place of the pads for part of the day offers a. Slightly softer option,and a reduced price on a second pair would be most welcome. Very good but such a relief when taken off.

Make sure you get the size right, the pair I was sent were far too big. You expect size 110 to be 110, but in fact they were approx 118-120. Sent back for a refund!!2 stars are for Amazon and their brilliant returns policy!!

Very good

Only downside on this product are the pads. Bulky and doesn't help you at all

At first was unsure about comfort but after wearing for a week & a couple of washes found them to be reasonably comfortable. The benefits are good & will continue to wear for the next month while waiting for my operation.Overall I found them very good. Pity about the price but on reflection found them worth it for the benefits.Had to purchase a second pair to allow for regular washing.Yes would recommend.
