NYOrtho Pediatric Abdominal Binder 6" 2-Panel - Post-Surgery Compression Wrap for Teens - Support Belt for Hernia, Muscle Strain, Back Pain, Injury Recovery - Latex-Free - Made in USA (20"-30")

As a male user, I purchased the NYOrtho Abdominal Binder Lower Waist Support Belt for extra core and lower back support, and it’s been very helpful. The material feels sturdy yet comfortable, and the compression is firm without being restrictive. It stays in place well throughout the day and doesn’t roll up or dig into my skin.I mainly use it during daily activities and light movement, and it provides noticeable support to my midsection and lower waist. The adjustable wrap makes it easy to get the right fit, and it’s breathable enough to wear for extended periods.Overall, this binder does exactly what it’s supposed to do solid support, good comfort, and easy to use. A good option for men needing extra abdominal or waist support.

This is a great product, fits well and comfortable. No tightness or pinching. Easy to use and works well after surgery. Good price and value. Soft and easy on the skin.

This 3-band belt is better than most of the others I've tried, but a lot like some other brands as well. I use it for abdominal hernia support. The material (elasticized cotton, it seems) is as breathable as can be expected and is the right thickness and amount of stretchiness to give good support. Some other similar brands, not so much. It is comfortable enough to wear for long periods directly against the skin. The Velcro strip attaches to the binder material itself - typical for this type of belt - so the material has a tendency to fray over time. That's not a big deal. I have ordered another. Be sure to save the strip of plastic-like material that covers the Velcro strip when you first receive it. It comes in handy to cover the Velcro when not in use so it doesn't hook on other material, and you'll need it to cover the Velcro when you wash it. I wash it by hand and hang it to dry.

Before my hernia repair surgery I ordered two of the 4 panel binders because I didn't know what the hospital would give me and I needed latex free. I had no idea I would need one until a loved one told me to be sure they gave me one. I had surgery 5 days ago to repair a 2 inch hernia in the midline above my belly button. Surgery was done with robotic assist, so I have 3 incisions off to one side, the internal hole sewn up and 4.5 inch mesh sewn in. They put a different brand of 3 panel binder, just like these, on me in the OR. When I was allowed to shower the next day I put on this 4 panel binder. I find the 4 panel more comfortable. The top and bottom cover all of the area involved, and just feels more supportive than the 3 panel. Again, the 3 panel is a different brand that the hospital supplied, so please don't compare the 3 panel comments in this review to the 3 panel of this brand here. The top and bottom edges of the 3 panel did not stay in place. I had to reposition them every time I got up. The top and bottom of the 4 panel stay exactly where I put them and do not ride around. For sizing, I first measured where 9 inches and then 12 inches would sit on my torso, and decided the 12 might be more comfortable. Then, since I'm a curvy female, I measured the widest area inside that 12 inch height. I ordered the size range that number was in. To put the binder on I first hook the bottom at that widest point, then pull the binder and attach the velcro as I work my way up. Where the top edge sits is narrower than where the bottom sits, so this allows me to get the velcro attached at an angle to give me equal support top to bottom. If hooking the velcro in a straight vertical line the top is too loose on my shape. This binder is so much more comfortable than the one the hospital put me in that I'm only using the 3 panel the day I wash both of these 4 panels. I wash in a zipper bag in the machine with cool water & then hang dry. Do not skip the binder for hernia surgery. The support helps with swelling and pain management.

I injured my oblique muscle and my doctor prescribed m an abdominal binder. But instead of paying out the wazoo I bought this one. It helped tremendously in stabilizing the muscle during everyday movement and it was cheaper then the prescribed one. I'm very thankful I have it as I'm told the chances of reinjury are high. I would recommend this to anyone needing a good abdomen binder.

Since it's single panel and elastic the compression was quite mild and wasn't sufficient for a chest surgery. I found It compressed but didn't actively push down on areas as much as I'd like. My previous binder was a 3 panel abdomen binder and that worked better.

I had an abdominal hysterectomy with a vertical incision, and let me tell you this has been a blessing! My bff! Great quality and support the I need it! Great compression isn’t bulky, easy to use. I wear it every day all day until evening!

This binder does the job but best for short term use. I immediately replaced the hospital issued binder as it was too long for my torso. This 9” is the perfect fit. After about 4 weeks or so, I noticed the Velcro attachment area started to fray and other areas pilling. I only took the binder off once a day for shower/clothes change and wore it over a t-shirt. My Dr. recommended I wear a binder for 12 weeks, so now at the 7 week point I am ordering another to get me through. Overall it is comfortable and good value for 24 hour wear, but does not hold up in the long term.
