Right Side Inguinal Hernia Groin Belt with Compression Pad Black (M 32-36)

Using this product reduced my pre-op pain significantly. Previously the pain intermittently varied between non-existent and insupportable, ~75% of the time being quite uncomfortable (or worse). With the belt, the pain level ranges from non-existent (~75% of the time) to mild. The leg strap dangles uselessly (have not figured out how to properly adjust it), but all else is self-evident and easy to use. Waist - 35 inches, 5'10" 175 lbs. Bought the large size based on an attempt at hip measurement and the fit appears to be pretty good. Surgery now scheduled for the near future.

I had no issues with the Velcro or fit. I did end up adding material to the pocket that applies the pressure, the original material understandably compressed after some time.Be cautious - I can see how a product like this could create an opportunity for the opposite side to form another hernia.

To be Fair this product does help hold Hernia in place.However, my 79 year old dad that gets around pretty goodhad some struggles having to remove it and put it back on.Perhaps a younger man could manage this product a littleeasier.

This was by far the best belt of the three we ordered to try for my husband's inguinal hernia. When we ordered the belt, he had a protrusion that hurt, but after a short time of putting pressure on the hernia by the design of this belt (exactly in the right place with a nice compact pad), the protrusion disappeared, and pain went away. He says it is very comfortable, and will continue to wear until surgery, which is considered non-emergency and won't happen for two-months. The other two belts we ordered both had a plastic ring that the leg strap threads through near the groin, and we had read in some reviews of those belts that it was uncomfortable. This belt has no plastic ring to worry about, and length of leg strap is easily adjustable. Other belts also had massively oversized pads.

For the most part, the product was so-so. When it arrived, I bent down to pick up the package off the ground. I know you can't judge the book by its cover,and that dynamite comes in small packages. It arrived in a little, flimsy, beautifully illustrated extremely thin cardboard box approx. 6"x6"x2" thick that has a very high gloss finish to it. Along with instructions clearly printed on the backside of the box; that hardly weighs anything. My first impression was, I got ripped off! But like I said, you can't judge the book by its cover. Upon opening it, (though it hardly weighed anything), to be honest with you, it is of quality. Upon trying it on ("without") connecting the strap, it felt good; and it really did help with the hernia that was protruding and it did help with the pain, and discomfort. But to be honest with you, I purchased this item because Amazon rated it as their choice though it only had a little over 1700 likes. I may end up purchasing another one soon from another brand/Company that has a little bit over 5800 likes that's also rated #1 which I think may be better. The only, only, reason why I wasn't 100% totally satisfied with this particular item, was, because it's poorly designed. Perhaps it's because it's designed too close to the competition;for US patent purposes. My version of the belt is designed for having a hernia on my right hand side.The strap that comes with it is unlike the competitions it starts below the triangle piece in the front, and goes through your legs and come out the back end and could only be attached in an awkward uncomfortable way on the belt on the right hand side of the belt through a loop and attaches with velcro. But the problem is: that the velcro piece that attaches the velcro together, is inside the of the belts loop. that you slip it through, the velcro piece that you need is sewn on the opposite side; therefore, it becomes twisted instead of laying flat. It's extremely uncomfortable because the strap is twisted. Unlike the competition where it starts from the back of the belt goes through your legs in the front,and attaches to a little clip/buckle in the front which allows you to tighten it should you need to. You can't do this with the one that I have; it's the opposite. And not only is it the opposite, it doesn't come with a clip/buckle so that you can tighten it and attach it to. The strap is uncomfortable to wear because It could only be worn twisted.This was not explained prior to me purchasing it. I don't know if this is a defected one that they wanted to hurry up and get rid of it as soon as possible.Otherwise, I would have given it 10 Stars

As I lost weight, I got down to about a 38" waist. The large belt I had was no longer fitting well, so I ordered the small--but the small didn't even come close! Measuring them, I could see that the belt was just slightly longer than the maximum waist size it was designed to cover. So the small never could work. But with the large version wrapped that tightly, the wasn't enough overlaps in the velcro for the belt to hold well.I also had to make foam inserts of my own, as well. The ones that came with the belt were so small that they kept moving around, away from where I needed them. Once I cut foam pieces to fit, the belt worked pretty well -- until the amount of velcro became insufficient for the belt length I was using.

I'm about 38" or 98 cm and my hernia is lower abdominal. The large size is OK and the medium is also OK - Pretty tight - but not uncomfortable. In either one, I put a soft wool sock rolled up inside the cup to put on extra pressure on the exact spot. With this on, I can go through the day in no pain - a huge help. Well-made and seems durable so far after a few weeks.
