Ergonomic Umbilical Hernia Belt I Abdominal Binder for Hernia Support I Umbilical Navel Hernia Strap with Compression Pad I Ventral Hernia Support for Men and Women I Standard - S/M (60-112 CM)

I have an incisional hernia from an abdominal operation scar that is 3 or 4 inches (75-100mm) above the belly button. Because of the nature of the operation, the chances of a successful mesh repair are low so I am dependent on abdominal support. I have tried others but they don't work well enough to prevent the hernia from protruding. This one does. It contains a circular firm pad backed up by a stiffener that will reduce the hernia. It does up with velcro and it's elasticated so you can adjust it for the fit you need. (Don't over-tighten it)It's easiest to put on with help because the pad section has to held in place while the belt is passed around your body to fasten. But you CAN do it on your own:Option 1 is to fix the pad to the velcro strip on the belt, reduce the hernia with your hand and place the pad over it. Now stand with your tummy against a vertical surface like a wall to hold the belt in place to free your hands to pass the belt around you and fasten it. I know.... sounds daft, doesn't it? But it works!Option 2 is for the more supple of us. It uses the same technique as Option 1 to position the pad. But then you need to swing those hips to flip the loose end of the belt behind you so you can grab it with your free hand. Again, it's a bit daft and takes a bit of practice but it works and it will keep the other members of your family entertained - although they could just help you!I haven't marked the product down because of this issue because you can't escape the fact that the belt has to go all the way around you. It's simply common sense.The price is very reasonable and I like it so much that I've ordered another so that I can at least air, if not wash them.

This is a good quality support which restricts my umbilical hernia from protruding.It is relatively comfortable when standing and walking but due to its height, it can restrict bending and sitting. You do get used to it but it is initially a bit awkward.Good quality manufacture and strong velcro fastening.

I have a large umbilical hernia and another medical condition which means surgeons don’t want to fix it until they absolutely have to as the operation would be life threatening.Therefore I’ve had to live with the hernia for three and a half years waiting for my medical condition to improve.I have tried many belts that have all proved uncomfortable and struggle to retain the hernia.This one is comfortable and actually works. Very happy to have bought it. It’s a little bulky and if you want to wear skinny fit t shirts then you can notice it. However if you wear something more baggy you can’t see it. At the end of the day you have a hernia, you are not going to win a body beautiful contest.Very good product.

Quick delivery and pleased with the sizing

Why did you choose this product over others?:Really comfy, Really good support, nice and stretchy so it's not too tight but the velcro is rubbish ive had this around 2 months and im due a new one

Excellent item.

First impression I have for this product is It comes with well package including simple instruction how to use and also a provided barcode to findout more application of it beside of supporting hernia patient.I dont have the hernia but I bought this one as to help me keeping my back straight as doing some kind of exercise like squat, slit squat, etc. It's very well fit to my waist with lots of cushion which then make me feel very comfortable.About the material being used and finish make, It impresses me lots at the moment I open it, all the detail is well finish, material shows it's is a good and high-graded one. By wearing it, I dont know how it work but I dont feel being sweaty for long period of using, even I'm wearing it to do my morning workout routine.It's very worth with the amount of money you spend. Highly recommend!

Well this was my 2nd belt in just over 6 months !! Poor quality Velcro which lets this product down especially as it’s not a cheap one. Definitely the last one I will buy as I can’t afford to waste money on items that are meant for a specific use. For the initial use it does work but very disappointed. So another one for the bin . Will work out cheaper to get some wide bandages and wrap the area tight enough to keep the hernia in place. Difficult especially when you need that support to ease pain and reflux. It’s not worth the money that they ask for just a short time of use. All my reviews are my own personal opinion and view. As per any product that I either test or review both professionally and personal use I only state what is my exact experience. Phil
