Everyday Medical Inguinal Hernia Belt for Men & Women - Post Surgery Groin Hernia Truss for Left/Right Side, Adjustable Inguinal Hernia Support Belt w/Compression Pad - Beige, S/M

There are compromises with all of these hernia belts because what they are trying to accomplish is awkward at best. But having tried 5-6 different styles and brands, this one stands out for it's effectiveness, construction and durability - so for being the best of things that are never truely great, it gets 5-stars Note: Be sure to wash and run it through the clothes dryer regularly - this keeps it clean (obviously) but also "re-tightens" the elastic fibers restoring a snug fit.

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.

5 STAR RATING - Fit well and easy to wear, it support trouble hernia very well. My 93 year old father loves it.

Se acomoda perfecto, es un poco incomoda para estar mucho tiempo sentado, lástima la pierna

I developed a left side inguinal hernia for which I am now awaiting surgery. Being an avid exerciser, I wanted to continue my workouts while keeping the hernia from developing further. After looking at all the options on Amazon, I settled on this belt as it is wide with plenty of room for adjustment. I have now worn the belt for about a week, and it keeps my hernia from protruding while being comfortable to wear. The egg-shaped pad can be placed precisely where it needs to be. The pad is bulky, but necessary to be able to deliver the pressure required to control the hernia. The belt is awkward to put on. I found the best way is to put it on is to place the pad over the hernia and adjust the tightness of the belt. Then, to remove it, slide it down your legs without releasing the tension. Then, you can easily pull it up without the hassle of re-tensioning the hook and loop. I can exercise, walk, and sit in comfort with this belt. The strap under my groin was annoying at first, but I quickly got used to it. Now I don't notice it. The belt is well made with quality materials and looks as if it will last I found that when I wear the belt, the egg-shaped pad protrudes in a very obvious bulge inside my pants. To prevent some people from getting the wrong idea, I always wear loose-fitting untucked shirts or sweaters. That way, the apparatus remains discretely hidden. This belt is the perfect solution for hernia control as I await my surgery. I highly recommend it.
