FlexaMed Right Inguinal Hernia Truss Belt with Support Pad, Black, Large

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.

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.

It is comfortable and cozy, help for when they have a hernia, recommended.

This gadget fits well and does the job.

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

I used the support every day. It’s of good quality and very easy to use. Pay attention to the providers advice for sizing. I bought the medium size as I was right on the threshold of medium size or larger. I used the medium size for a few days and it was very cumbersome to use, so I ordered the large size and it worked perfectly. No overstretching or pinching. I did not bother to return the first one for obvious reasons. If you are on the borderline of sizes, go with the next one up.

Very good long lasting hernia belt.

I had developed an inguinal hernia, but the necessary surgery couldn't be scheduled for 12 days, so I shopped on Amazon for belts like this, and I read all of the reviews, and I bought this one. IT IS TERRIFIC, its pad sits EXACTLY where my pain was coming from, and it has 99% removed the debilitating pain that I'd had, up to that point. I can't say that I'm looking forward to the surgery itself, but this terrific belt has enabled me to live 99% pain-free and to mostly engage in my normal daily activities.
