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 Black, S/M

Purchased this for my husband, newly diagnosed inguinal hernia. His is very new, very small so he mainly uses it to remind him not to lift anything too heavy. The waist strap is adjustable and the velcro hold well. I do feel this product has value for the money spent.

Very helpful in reducing pain while walking and bending for a small reducible inguinal hernia while awaiting surgical repair.

It will work for anyone as long as you follow the instructions to a "T" or you may choose to use my method/technique; which I find it to be much better for my particular situation. My hernia is on my right hand side. If your hernia is on your left hand side, that's fine. If you like my method/technique, just follow the steps; but everything's going to be the opposite of course. My way is: I only wear the belt over my boxers and do not use it directly over my skin this helps keep it much cleaner instead of being soiled with sweat etc. (Though it is washable) then what I do is: I insert the thick pad with the tapered part going in first into the Pocket/pouch you may insert it all the way in, or you may leave it extended outward an inch or two this allows you to have full control over the placement of the pad anywhere on your body.If it sticks out of the pouch a little because of the hernias location, not to worry. No one's going to see it anyway while helping your hernia at the same time. Prior to putting on my belt, what I do is: I place not some, but rather all of my junk inside the pant leg of my left hand side boxer leg opening; I do this for easy access for when I need to go #1 without having to remove the belt. At which point, all I have to do is, lift the bottom of my left hand side pant leg from my boxers and do my business.As far as going #2, I really don't know? I assume you temporarily remove it, and then put it back on. I then open up the belt,and lay it flat on a flat surface. Then what I do is: I make sure that the strap attached to the back end of the belt has the smooth surface of the material facing outwards; if not, slide it out, and reverse it to where the dangling part of the belt has the smooth surface facing outwards. Then, what I do is: I pull out the front of my boxers slightly to take a peek down below much how a baby does when he or she pulls out his or her diaper and checks out his or her pee-pee to see exactly where my hernia is located.Then what I do is: I position the thick pad pocket/pouch right over it and don't move it.Then with my left hand, because the hernia is on my right hand side, I get the end of the belt (that's closest to the pouch) and wait until I get the other end of the belt with my right hand going around my back towards my right hand side and attaching it to the velcro piece that I am holding with my left hand. As far as all the belts on the market, this is the only one that I know of that has 8 &1/2 inches that you can play with so that you may connect it to the velcro for a nice snug fit should you need to. Other brands only have an inch or two max and won't fit properly. Then what I do is: I don't use the original instructions by having the belt go through my legs between my cheeks and coming out through the front and attach it to the pouch. Being that I'm a guy, I don't think I'll get used to wearing something like a thong. And to be honest with you, I don't know how some women do either. Anyway, what I do instead is, I place the strap closer to my right hip and I allow it gently to follow the bottom or the side of the contour of my right cheek much like wearing a jockstrap instead of being like a g-string like the original instructions. And then right before it goes through my legs, it follows the contour of the left side of my right upper thigh over my boxers of my right upper thigh. When the strap comes out through the front end, I thread it through the little plastic buckle that's attached to the pocket/pouch but going upwards instead of downwards like the original instructions.By doing so, it allows the pocket to stay firmly in place. Then I get the rest of the material that has the Velcro attached to it, and I place it anywhere on the belt on the right hand side, the left hand side of the belt, at an angle, straight up or down, it doesn't matter at this point; it will stick to anything unlike their method which is to go through the buckle and attach it underneath. By doing it my way, it prevents the strap from being twisted and be uncomfortable. But you don't have to do it my way you could just follow the original instructions that comes with it.The beauty of this product is that they stand behind their product 100% and yes! You may return it should you need to. It comes with all of the instructions, a card with an email address to where you could ask them questions or if you need to return an item etc. It also includes: a special code for 15% off for future purchases.

This worked GREAT! My husband wasn’t able to work in the yard or anything. He wore this everyday for about6-8 hrs up until his hernia surgery.

The belt is overly bulky and restrictive. Very difficult for me to properly adjust. Not knowing what to expect I ordered two different belts, this one and a Uriel. I much preferred the fit of the Uriel.

Simple to use and amazing. Allowed me to work long hours on my feet, without hernia pain.

This device used to be called a truss in my father's time. He, too, had a hernia (inguinal) in his lifetime. Apparently, sometimes runs in families. Anyway, this is a pretty good and well-built item. Copious velcro is used to adjust and secure the belt(s). There is a hip-belt and a tightening crotch belt. The waist belt must be installed high on the hip opposite the (inguinal) hernia and must be tight(!) to prevent slipping down while walking, etc.It would have gotten 5 stars had it been properly assembled at the factory. The strap that adjusts (tightens) the hernia pad was installed backwards. This made it very hard to properly tighten the strap and required twisting the strap, making it less than comfortable as the buckle for this belt ends up between your legs (wear the device OVER underwear to reduce discomfort from possible chaffing). Once I figured this out, was much easier to put on and adjust. I would order again.
