Everyday Medical Inguinal Hernia Support Belt for Men I Fits Left or Right Side I Post Surgery Men and Womens Hernia Support Truss for Inguinal, Groin Hernias I Adjustable Waist Strap I Beige | S/M

Nice hernia belt. Does what its supposed to while I await hernia surgery in 1.5 months. It keeps a small cushion firmly placed where the inguinal hernia is (in my case left side), it alleviates pain and/or the prospect of hernia getting worse. I'm pretty active and this seems to work perfectly to keep everything "in check" as I frequently need to bend over or crouch down to pick up my 3 small dogs (9-15 lbs), go on walks, or ride the exercise bike. I'm not doing weight lifting or playing golf with it (that can wait for post op after recovery), but life is more manageable again. FYI I'm 6ft 205 lbs male and the small/medium fits great as you'll want it to be tight. Velcro holds nicely. Had to buy some boxer briefs to help with that strap around the leg, which I'd say is optional. If youre experiencing an inguinal hernia and waiting for surgery, you'll wish you had this, this is a life saver. Not sure why my doctor didn't recommend one but glad I found it on Amazon. Edit after surgery: After hernia surgery, you will not need this belt anymore, which is fine, bc you'll be on the road to recovery. I'm on week 5 post op and here's some tips to get thru it. Days 1-3 are the worst, bending over is an absolute nightmare, so if something drops on floor (like even a sock, etc) I'd recommend having a grabber tool handy, you can get one for $9 on Amazon. Also learn from me bc I had a setback at week 4, I was hunched over to clip my toenails and my lower back went out. Its because they cut thru the deep core abdominal muscles to do the surgery. So just watch out with leaning and bending over. Its technically called acute lumbar back spasm and its excruciating. I'm still healing from the lower back now at week 5. So watch out and use that grabber tool to grab things down low. Raise your foot up to a bench or chair to put shoes on etc. Docs didn't warn me about this but I am. I was healthy/athletic b4 this and meant nothing. Good luck people. You can do this.

I bought this binder more than a year ago. I’ve used it about every other day. It’s done its job well - it minimizes the bulge, and eliminates the pain, from my inguinal hernia. It’s sturdy and well-constructed. The elastic is starting to warp a little now. I’m getting ready to buy a new one. Pros: Does the job well. Built well. Cons/Limitations: - Elastic will eventually wear out. - If you don’t fasten the velcro strips in perfect alignment, they can irritate the skin on your hip/thigh a bit. - A little bit bulky - you wouldn’t wear it with a skin-tight bodysuit. My other binder is lower-profile - it’s made of neoprene, designed by a surfer guy. A little pricier than this one. I like both. I might prefer the neoprene one for sweaty activities (summer exercise outdoors), and would definitely prefer it for swimming. But this one is a little more effective in keeping the hernia in place. Overall I like this one a little better.

First if you are reading this either you or someone you know has an inguinal hernia (or something else) and you are making the purchase to make you more comfortable. The belt works fine, it holds pressure for me anyway at the point I need it as I cannot have scope surgery due to prostate Cx so it would require more down time ( i don't know how it could be more) so no surgery for me at this time. Photo's: from left first, third and forth shows the "reinforced" strip to prevent rollover. it works but does develop a kink which causes a oil can effect( for those of you too young to know what that is old-timer oil cans were fil push from the bottom and it would click) Also you will see cotton pulls, I think this is a combination of the clothes fabric and the belt fabric rubbing but could also be a result of next item that Velcro strap, first it sticks to anything. If you see in photo #6 I actually re-attach it to the area where it fastens. They show in the instructions that the strap is going seemingly between the crevice? I did not try as I am not a fan of flossing my ass. I originally tried the strap in the position you see in the photo, it's Velcroed and holds the strap. then I tried to move the strap so it would be more centered. Not only was in more uncomfortable but without it being held by the belt it travels slightly at times and more at others and then you get strap ass. So I put the strap back to where it can attach to the belt and therefore also providing me with a place to secure the strap for removal. You have to negotiate the strap on the hernia side of the boys( sorry women can't help you) and when you do first make sure it's snug, sadly the attaching point although looks sewed well is straight and has no anchor to prevent it from going horizontal yo vertical. This doesn't effect the belt too much while wearing it the only thing you want to make sure of also is that when you run the strap under and through the attaching point make sure to attach the Velcro strap to itself completely and not to your underwear or just half on the strap as the Velcro will find a way to rub an area that wherever it may be you don't really want to be pulling on the area this day and age anywhere where you can be seen or a camera placed as who knows what's someone's interpretation of your crotch maneuvering means to them as they present it to HR, your spouse, co-workers, neighbors etc. you get the idea. if you have the ability or access to someone who sews or a tailor you may want to have the connecting point reinforced at the corners( sewn to each side) so it stays in place and to the manufacturer , I understand this is a bi-directional belt and perhaps you cannot dart the loop until you know what side? Then install two loops going at both diagonal positions and then everyone is more comfortable. Function: It works well, i am not uncomfortable wearing it. It does supply a lot of elastic band pressure around your hips, it cannot ride waist or below as it would not protect the area. Besides the "pillow" it comes with to push back the hernia it also has a pocket I would imagine to increase the pressure on the hernia or maybe body size and shape. They do not supply you with anything but you can fold even a paper towel to get more depth but it is not necessary for my problem. I am retired/disabled with a lot of pain problems etc. I believe my hernia was caused by opioid induced constipation and the desire to go and push. I have not and I would not use the belt while using a seated restroom without removing it, you don't want to be lazy and you probably don't carry a spare. Just advice: If you have a right inguinal hernia and have to use the seat I make sure that for me my left hand stays pressed against the hernia area does prevent it 90% of the time from moving. I do not review items often as I hate to purchase something and the next day they ask how I liked it, how do I know.. Give me time to use it. I purchased these belts on April 3 2021 from Amazon. I purchased the first one about 7-10 days earlier from Everyday Medical direct as the wait/shipping time was indicating sooner and I wanted it sooner so you are looking at about a months wear. Some of my issues that made me purchase the item of course the hernia itself but when I stand in one place as in doing dishes it would be rather uncomfortable and the same would happen while walking, using stairs especially upstairs. I wish everyone good luck with your hernia, the pandemic, and all of the other things to look forward to. If you attach the strap as I do make sure have garments that will go down your leg as Velcro rubbing not so good. I also bought the beige , I don’t know why! I am not matching garments. Maybe it will be the style

Använt en produkt tidigare som jag fick på sjukhus, men denna är mycket bättre eftersom den inte sticker ut allt för mycket. Använder den på gymmet främst när jag lyfter tungt.

Spürbare Entlastung – bequem und zuverlässig Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem Leistenbruchgürtel! Die Passform ist ausgezeichnet – er lässt sich individuell einstellen und sitzt angenehm, ohne einzuschneiden oder zu verrutschen. Schon nach kurzer Zeit habe ich eine deutliche Entlastung gespürt. Der Druck auf die betroffene Stelle wird gut abgefangen, und ich kann mich wieder sicherer bewegen – ob beim Gehen, Arbeiten oder im Alltag. Das Material ist atmungsaktiv und hautfreundlich, auch bei längerem Tragen. Besonders praktisch: Der Gürtel ist sowohl für Männer als auch Frauen geeignet und lässt sich diskret unter der Kleidung tragen. Für mich eine echte Hilfe – klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine komfortable Unterstützung bei Leistenbruch suchen!

I was going to give it 4 stars because of the horrible colour and I want it in a black colour, but people with a hernia need this product as it works well. I was using a thick leather belt and a sock. This work better and stays in place. It actually works better than designed as you can stick the velcro to almost any part of the item and it sticks well. There is a strap to put between your legs to hold it in place so it doesn't ride up, and again, with the velcro sticking to anything, you can place and tighten this any way you need. And, you don't need to use this strap when just walking around the house or sitting, which makes it more comfortable. It really has given me a better quality of life as I can move around more and bend down fairly well (the belt can be tight and inhibit movement).

Nada me gusto

Game changer ! Why did I not buy it sooner? The pain is 90% controlled sine I am wearing it.
