Tenbon Inguinal Hernia Belt for Men & Women - Adjustable Bilateral/Double Inguinal, Groin Hernia Support Truss for Pre & Post Surgery with 2 Removable Pads, Breathable & Discreet Wear Under Clothes (Small)

Works very well for Inguinal Hernias. Has pads for either side, or you can use both at the same time if you have a double like me. It's as comfy as it can be, make sure the Velcro is lined up properly. It's a bit bulky and awkward but it's way better than going without. I've got a month until surgery and I'll wear this everyday.

Works great! I wear it while walking and doing chores around the house. The belt is comfortable and I hardly notice it being there.

This belt has worked great for me. It has allowed me to exercise vigorously without the burning sensation I felt when exercising without it. I am even able to play hockey with it on. It does not fit well under clothing so you need to wear a loose fitting top or coat if you want to cover it from view. Also, the Velcro on the main waist strap wears out after a few weeks so you might need a replacement or get Velcro tape if you need to wear this for an extended period of time.

I'm 74. I was feeling occasional pangs of lower abdominal pain. After an MD exam I realized I have an inguinal hernia on my left side. The first opportunity I have for surgery is about 6 weeks away. The more I continued to work in my yard and play with my grand kids the more frequently the pains were occurring. The low pressure also increased after a big meal. I looked at several trusses on Amazon and this Tenbon belt truss seemed like a simple non-bulky unit for a reasonable price. I got the double belt thinking it might be more versatile and might give me more support all the way across my lower groin, even if I only needed and used the left side pad. Delivery was 1 day. As soon as I put this on I could feel the support pushing against my hernia. There were no pain pangs and I feel more confident that every strenuous activity will not be making my hernia worse. This really lets me do much of my normal life without worrying or being super cautious. I still avoid heavy direct lifting of over 50 lbs but I no longer worry about doing most other activities. I took the plastic pad out of the right side and I do feel more support all the way across my lower abdomen so I'm glad I got the double unit. 1) After a few tries and adjustments this belt is easy to put on and take off. Just pull each leg loop up and into place and the pull the waist strap around from your back and velcro the end to the front of the strap. 2) I have a 33 waist and wear 32 or 34 pant size. I bought the LARGE size belt and it fits perfect. There is extra length and it stretches so If you are a 35 to 37 pant size I'd still recommend the Large. 3) This belt is light weight and not bulky. It rides about an inch or 2 lower than your pant waist /belt line and no one can notice that you are wearing it under regular pants or shorts. I have not tried it with jeans. 4) It's well made. Easy to adjust for many thigh widths. Very comfortable to wear all day. 5) It's a difficult to pee standing up but the whole unit slides up and down easily without undoing the waist strap if you just drop it with your underwear to sit down. This Truss has been a life saver for me as it relieved my fears of walking stairs or doing most normal activity. I would definitely recommend it. ------------------------------------------- Edit 6/26/22 I have now been wearing this belt for 4 weeks including a week vacation for a college reunion. I could not have managed without this belt. It was comfortable on a 5 hour flight and easy to manage in the bathrooms. It was inconspicuous under several types of pants (shorts, stretch golf pants and dress slacks) . It even supported for long times standing and dancing. A few times I didn't wear it in the morning and I could feel the hernia bulging. When I pit it back on the pain disappeared and the bulge stayed down. I did not wear it when sleeping.

Comfortable and effective for the purpose that it's intended for, but heck, can't the manufacturer spend the one extra sheckel to increase the depth of its velcro teeth? The micro-millimeter stuff that they're incorporating now rapidly clogs with fiber and loses its ability to cling. Failing that a cling hook of some sort would certainly help to alleviate a problem that totally defeats the purpose of an otherwise good product. Penny-wise, pound foolish. SILLY!

Works great.

Sadly, I recently developed an inguinal hernia, most likely do in equal parts to my 50+ age and frequent resistance training. My family also has a proclivity for getting them so I also got a raw deal on the genetics side. Anyway, I tried another other belt before this one and there is no comparison. The Tenbon Truss is superior in every way, from materials to proper support. It is also easier to use. The other has a thong style center band while this one wraps around the legs and buttocks, avoiding going up "the crack". It is fairly easy to put on quickly, and using the bathroom isn't as much of a chore. I recommend long form fitting boxers when using a truss. Hey, I'm not happy about having to wear this, but I'm glad to have it. I didn't put it on one morning and sat down the wrong way, and ...OUCH! If you've experienced the hot poker like pain, then I don't need to describe it. If you haven't yet felt the pain but have developed a hernia, then do yourself a favor and don't let that happen. I'm not sure when surgery will be an option, but until then this belt is my new best friend. I like the quality of this product and the fact I can just wear it to protect one side. The straps are very adjustable. I 6' and 185 lbs., and the medium is ideal for my 32" waist. ~ Kort

It was very uncomfortable but it did help double hernia pain when bending. Good quality, fit, value, just not good for me
