Velpeau Hernia Belt for Men and Women, Fits Left or Right Side, Inguinal, Groin Hernia Support Truss Underwear Briefs, Pain Relief Recovery Adjustable Strap with Removable Compression Pad (Black, L)

I at 67 have contended with a right side inguinal hernia since 43. It appeared for no particular reason. I have never had any intention of surgery. I am an inventor have used all manner of belts, spandex shorts with half a coconut shell from a costume bikini, sliced off 1/2" on flat side. Filled it with small round dollar store push on light. Placed all in a ped sock and placed dome side in over herniainside of compression shape wear. Plus a variety of belts, some good, some meh. There isn't much effective info or products geared to women with this affliction. When I first purchased this belt I only used one of the good sized for me, velcro backed inserts, not the belt. However due to the ongoing experimental nature of dealing with my situation I finally used the belt with one insert. To my surprise this belt far exceeded my expectations. I use a medium. The Velcro is strong, the construction well stitched. It lies flat. The straps are not too long. The only thing is to wear looser trousers or leggings under long tunics or long shirts to avoid the outline of straps around bum cheeks. This provides support and keeping hernia pushed in and stationary. The most effective belt I have acquired thus far. I wear it overThin slip shorts and yoga shorts. I just purchased another khaki model. The medium is smaller feeling then I remembered. The belt will stretch over time but remains useable. The insert can be repositioned as necessary. I could add more padding of my devising as necessary. First belt is over 1.5 yrs old. Has held up marvelously.If a hernia requires attention this is the best most affective belt I have come across in the 24 yes of learning about and contending with my hernia situation. I will be trying the single, right side black model in near future. This is a well made product and fairly priced.Good luck if you have hernias as your particular thorn.

Prior to surgery, this helped a lot, and was about as easy and comfortable as a truss can be. After surgery, they recommended using it for another month. I appreciated the ... support.

Fits well, supports very well. I'm active at work and have no problem with my hernia while wearing this. The instructions for wear could be a little more detailed. I suggest adding a picture of the interior showing position and placement of pads in the instructions.

It does fit under clothing and isn't bulky (unless you add the extra pads that come with it). However, it is a bit scratchy if worn under clothing over underwear. It also BARELY fits according to their measurements. The band that goes around the hips fit with only about 1 inch of material overlapped when closed, and it felt tight. This garment of course is designed to fit snugly but too tight it can cause pain. If you want to be able to wear it over clothing the size chart is not helpful or you might want to go up a size (or two?) Be forewarned that they don't allow returns if it doesn't fit or for any reason even if you didn't try it on.Would try the next size up but am worried the straps that wrap under the pelvis might be too long, so am gonna go with a company that allows returns!

This is by far the best belt for me. I have tried every belt on Amazon. Very comfortable on bare skin. Well designed. I bought one size bigger, but shouldn’t have. Yet, it works absolutely fine. Great product!

Hello. This hernia belt has been good for me so far, the first 5 days. I have an inguinal hernia that just appeared a month ago and I can't do the surgery yet. The belt goes on easy and stays put all day. I can even do a light exercise, including leg stretches and it doesn't budge. The pressure on the pad can be fine tuned with the strap that goes between the legs. So it's as tight and comfortable as you want it. And it doesn't show through the pants either, at all. I suppose if one wore very tight pants it might. And I know it's working cuz when I don't wear it then the hernia starts to hurt after an hour, but while it's on I can go all day with no pain. On occasion the pad feels a little bulky down there, if I bend way over or sit in an odd position. But the belt/pad never feels painful or uncomfortable. I see no reason it shouldn't get 5 stars.Only one possible suggestion for the manufacturer: I'm wondering if the pad had a horizontal bendable crease at the center it might conform better to the groin area. The Velcro strap would hold the pad in place anyway and rigidity would be reduced.

This is a great belt for linguinal hernia, but I found something that made this belt even more supportive & effective. Depending on the size of your linguinal hernia, mine is somewhat large & the belt would slip down with any amount of exercise or exertion allowing the hernia to bulge out the side of the support pad.Gave it a little thought & got some suspenders, hooked the up and WOW, the belt stays in place with any amount of activity. Wish I would have done this to begin with and the hernia wouldn’t have gotten bigger & harder to maintain. Trust me, hook up some suspenders. I got the Janmercy X Back $9.99 Amazon that look very well made & have plastic clips that attach to your pants. Will even pass through metal detectors!After trying other belts, this one is definitely the best one I’ve found, very well made & durable.

Double check your size request..My unit came 3 sizes too small. What do I do now ?Too small...we're do i exchange for the correct size??
