FlexaMed Left Side Inguinal/Groin Hernia Truss - Medium

I developed an inguinal hernia back in March. In Ontario elective surgery is delayed by COVID and I may have to wait months for this hernia to be repaired. It is serious enough to warrant concern: it has enlarged somewhat since. becoming apparent. I bought this truss hoping I could undertake light and moderate exercise without pain or undue worry. The product exceeded my expectations. While I avoid heavy lifting and have reduced the amount of weight I use for weight training (using wimpy 15 pound dumbbells), I can undertake necessary chores and light exercise comfortably and without feeling I am doing damage. Examples: lifting groceries and luggage; moving and paddling a kayak; planting shrubs in the garden; carrying firewood. Good product. Buy 2 so you have an extra one when doing laundry.

Bought this for my husband. He owns a bread sales route (lots of heavy lifting) and just can't take time off for surgery right now. He had been having a lot of swelling and pain, so I bought this hoping it would help. I am a nurse, he rarely listens to me or follows my suggestions, lol, and my husband never likes anything!!! I can tell you he is super happy with this product. I am shocked! He feels no discomfort at all if he wears it. He is miserable if he doesn't. Our goal was to keep him from needing surgery soon. It works so well that I just bought another one today so he doesn't have to wash it as much. He says it was awkward and annoying at first when he had to use the restroom because of the strap to help keep it in place, but he has gotten over that since he feels so much better. It comes with a pad that you have to place over the hernia to help hold it in place. If you are suffering and can't have a surgery right now, this is the product for you. It was true to size, so he wears medium underwear, and the medium belts fits perfect. Good luck!

A little tricky to adjust and awkward to put on. Once these hurdles are overcome the truss is truly comfortable and provides firm support, I need to lift quite a heavy object two or three times every day and this is the only truss I've found that this lifting presents no twinges or problems.

It is easy to you and holds the hernia in place. Highly recommend it..

This gave great relief from my hernia's protrusion while awaiting surgery! It is comfortable to wear! It adjusts readily! HOWEVER, IT IS STITCHED WITH A RUNNING STITCH.....NOT A LOCKING STITCH and started to come apart after wearing it over knitted briefs, during waking hours, for 12 days. After surgery, I noticed one seam had started to unravel. By lightly pulling on the loose end of the thread it quickly began to un-zip. Other reviews & pictures for this product depict a serious loss of stitching after both wearing and washing. I believe that the sewing machines used to assemble this otherwise fantastic product are not using a "lock-stitch". I no longer have to wear this truss, so the stitching is a mute point. However, someone forced to wear it and wash it for an extended time would do well to either purchase another product or to use a product such as "Aleene's Stop Fraying" to prevent the stitching from coming apart. Hopefully the manufacturer will upgrade the sewing machines being used to assemble this product. Then it will be worthy of a full five stars!
