Hernia Belt for Men, Inguinal and Groin Support Truss, Left or Right Side

This item is 100% functional for what I bought it for. However, like every other kind of device, holster, brace, etc... that will be worn over bare skin and secured with velcro. They attach the barbs on the piece of the garment that will overlapping the loops pointing towards the body. So should the strap or whatever part of a garment not align perfectly, especially in more tender areas of the body, it's the barbs making contact with the skin instead of the loops that would be a thousand times more tolerable than just 2 or 3 of those barbs, sticking you in the ass all day. Forcing me to add a pad to prevent it. I'm not a engineer or a genius, but is the function of velcro superior with the barbs overlapping the loops than vice versa? If not, point the loops towards the body. Velcro has been around so long, and nobody has bitched loud enough about it yet. They need to have to wear velcro g-strings everyday for a week. Update: I realized the strap that goes between the legs can be flipped, turning them away from the skin. I suggest they be shipped that way. The overlapping waist belt has the teeth pointing towards the skin but is wide enough to line the edges evenly and prevent the pricks. And since the pricks were my only complaint and I have eliminated them, I uppgrade my original review to a *****

Hubby had inguinal hernia and wasn't able to get in for surgery for several weeks. This belt literally saved him!!! Highly recommend, only negative was that the strap that goes between the legs is velcro, so it rubbed on the skin if not placed properly. Kept him comfortable until his surgery date.

Simply put, the best Inguinal hernia belt on the market. I have bought a few different ones from various companies. Some worked pretty well but had other drawbacks that I had to live with. Saw these on Amazon and for the price figured I didn't have much to loose since I was spending $30 and up on other belts with limited success. My inguinal hernia is on my left side. Have had since 2019. This belt is the easiest and lest complicated belt that I ever put on. Right away because of the size of the pad felt immediate relief. The waistband is very wide, so there is a lot of support and it doesn't "move around" or slide down like other belts would. Easily gave it 5 stars and just ordered another for a spare.

Works good

Fit around the waist and the strap between the legs, however it was very uncomfortable to wear.

Too hard

I returned this item because I couldn't tolerate a plastic buckle and multiple layers of velcro for adjustment in my groin. Also kind of complicated to use with a step through design and the tension adjustment placed in your groin area

This is a very good belt for the price. I have another belt and use a thinner pad than the pillow that comes with this belt. At first I used this belt with no additional pad. Then I got the other belt and use the thinner pad with this belt and it makes this belt even better. Perhaps they will consider a second thinner pad as an option at a slightly higher price. Great belt, fits well, and provides good support. I can recommend this belt.

Top Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Der Gurt besteht um die Hüfte aus breitem Elasto-Band, das mittels Klettverschluss justierbar ist. Das eigentliche "Hernien-Pad" ist an einem dünneren Elasto-Band (ebenfalls über Klett verstellbar) sowohl links als auch rechtseitig gut positionierbar. Mitgeliefert wird eine Art Kissen, dass an das "Hernien-Pad" angeklettet werden kann und dann noch stärkeren Druck auf den Leistenbruch ausübt. Alles ist sehr gut verstellbar, so dass der Tragekomfort sehr gut ist. Tatsächlich merke ich den Gurt über den Tag schon nach wenigen Minuten praktisch gar nicht mehr - und er ist auch unter der Hose unsichtbar. Das zusätzliche Pad nutze ich allerdings nicht, da der Druck auf die Bruchstelle bei mir auch so schon ausreichend stark ist. Die Funktion ist insgesamt also einwandfrei und der Preis wirklich günstig. Ich habe den Gurt gleich nochmal bestellt, damit ich einen zweiten habe, während der andere gewaschen wird. Bei dem günstigen Preis wirklich kein Thema.

Perfecto el mejor que he tenido

Je l ai depuis 2 jours et les douleurs diminuent

My inguinal hernia is young but was starting to cause me pain, so I wanted to find a belt that could put the hernia under control, particularly when I had yard work to do, or even just bending over to pick up items. I checked every page on Amazon, and narrowed it down to several options, including some that were three times the price of this belt. I chose this belt because it appeared to be the easiest to wear, remove, and offer effective relief. Now that it has arrived and has been through my daily routine, I can honestly say that it meets all of those criteria. The belt arrived in its own product bag -- something I did not notice in the listing, but it did point that out. If you're fussy about privacy, you have to specifically request Amazon packaging for it. The belt came with a velcro-backed pad measuring about 2" thick along with a 2"x4" section of velcro. That section of velcro is meant for some users with extra large waistlines: "... if some of the velcro on the bandage irritates your skin, you can use the comfort cloth included in the accessory to stick it on the excess velcro to ensure that it does not irritate the skin". At this point, the pad is far too excessive for my hernia, so I chose to wear the belt without it. With a 32" waist, I can't comment on the "comfort cloth". How to use the belt was obvious once it was taken out of the package, but it does come with an instruction sheet. Once it is fitted to your sizing, you can simply step into it, much as you would when putting on underwear. This belt can be worn on the left side or the right side simply by rotating the belt to the hernia's location. The belt is adjustable, and the velcro securing the waist is significant that it will not loosen or come apart. The strap through the groin area is adjustable. It does not need to be tight against the skin. In fact, it should be rather loose fitting for comfort and to allow proper blood circulation. The big test: wearing it. Since this is the first time I have ever used a hernia belt, it felt odd wearing it. However, after having it on for a few hours and working around the house, I had forgotten all about it - it was as though I wasn't even wearing it. It was that comfortable. I was reminded of it when I had to use the washroom. I prefer to remove the belt at that time because it's not difficult to put it back into place. Some of the other reviewers of competing hernia belts mention that the belts are uncomfortable when it comes to sitting. I have no such complaints with this belt. Given its very affordable pricing, performance, and overall effectiveness, this would likely serve hernia sufferers well. A reminder though that my hernia is in the early stages, so your mileage may vary if you have a more serious hernia.
