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 (Large)

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 6/26/22I 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.

Truss stays in place, both sides stay in place. I have no problem with the pads staying in the pockets. And they hold well all day. I think perhaps ladies that use this truss might have a different experience. This one keeps everything in place that had popped out after the hernia (inguinal). So comfortable that I may use it after hernia repair when doing lifting. It gives additional abdominal support in the right areas. One downside: if ya gotta pee, it takes about three undressing steps to get into “position”. So if you are an urgent pee-er (need to go right now), then plan your breaks so as not to have the urge and not the ability to get ready. This part of the review might get XXX’d out, but it is a real part of the review.UPDATE: other reviewer states the pads sometimes come out over the top of the mesh pocket. I found that this can be stopped by using a 3 inch long “hook side” Velcro tape from front to back of pocket over the top opening of each pouch. Quick cheap fix using either sewing Velcro or even Velcro cable ties for computers, using only the hooks. Anyway, works and nullifies the potential problem with displaced pads.

Belts works great but the velcro doesn't last long ..They need to upgrade the velcro Hopefully this belt last till surgery. I Have my doubts..It's truly to bad for the cheap velcro because the design of the belts is good..

I developed a hernia a few weeks ago and tried to find a hernia belt locally so I could use it immediately. The only one in town that I could find just simply didn't work, so I ordered this one and took it real easy until it arrived. It is remarkable. It fits very well and is extremely easy to put on and wear. I hardly know it's on. It attaches with Velcro, whereas the first one I had used adjustable straps that look like buckles and was difficult to put on and wear.I highly recommend using this one, only as a temporary fix until surgery and permanently solve the problem. I'm scheduled shortly, but it's great knowing I have it in case I develop another hernia.

They seem to work but should only be worn temporarily not more than a couple hours because you have to put it on so tight to keep the hernia in that it strangles you circulation

I mainly got this to hold me over until I could speak a specialist and schedule a repair surgery for my inguinal hernia. What I found is a device that provides far more support than I expected. Indeed, I can move around freely with constant adjustments to the hernia site.The velcro has been criticized in some reviews, and in appearance, it doesn't look like it would hold for long, but that is far from the case. It's grip is strong, I actually find it hard to pull apart. As such, I use the elastic to slip this on and off as needed.This took a couple days to get used to. Now, I can't imagine not using it when I head out. I will even wear it casually around the house under my sweat pants.This is no substitute for the repair surgery, but the support this device gives is well worth the cost. I doubt you would regret it.

Rip off

Great for lower abdominal support. Takes a couple times of wearing it to get adjusted to be more comfortable. I suggest adjusting the inner tabs to ensure they don’t cut in to your legs.

Très bien fait par rapport à ceux de la pharmacie et moins cher

Can't thank you enough Amazon! I ordered two different Inguinal hernia belt products. One is a single/double and the other a single only. The first product could be delivered on Aug 11th. The second product could be delivered a day later on Aug 12th. It made sense to deliver both on Aug 12th.Amazon offered to deliver the first product on Aug 11th and the second on Aug 12th at no additional shipping cost. It was important to me to start using either product as soon as possible.I placed my order late Aug 9th and received the first product as promised on Aug 11th.The on line customer feedback at Amazon was very helpful.Began using the Tenbon Hernia belt (large size) as soon as I received it. It worked great. It offered immediate pain relief. The velcro held securely. The waist band is stretchy and has some give when you are sitting or moving around. I could not be more pleased with the fit and the colour. The two straps that go between your legs are attached with velcro. You can use either one or both straps. I have a hernia on the right side only. So far I have chosen not to use the straps with a very good result. Likely depends on the location of the hernia.Earlier on Aug 9th after leaving my doctor, I had gone to a national pharmacy location in Halifax HRM with a separate department that specializes in medical and therapeutic products. There was only one product available for forInguinal Hernia. The customer service was poor and I was sold a medium size that was too small.I had been assured that it would fit. I wanted black and they only had white. The design and quality was not even close to the Tenbon Hernia Belt Truss. It will definitely be returned to the pharmacy.Thanks again to the Amazon Team.Nov 5, 2024 UPDATE. This product has been invaluable. I use it every day. During Aug. 2024 I switched out the triangular shaped pad that came with this product for a pad from another belt that is flatter and softer compared to the original very firm pad that had a convex shape. Early on I noticed that the velcro on the belt can catch on clothing. My solution has been to end one stretchy strap over and past the belt velcro connection so that it presses down and keeps the belt velcro firmly in place. This also keeps it flat and stops it from catching on any clothing. I use only a compression pad on my right side. The stretchy velcro strap attaches to the front (side with pad) and goes down against the inside of my right leg. The velcro strap then goes around my leg and heads in the direction of my stomach and next velcros on the belt just past the belt velcro connection. The other strap goes around the outside of the belt and terminates beside the first strap. The two straps hold the main belt velcro overlap nice and flat so that nothing catches on it such as pants, shirt etc. I have been able to do almost all of what I did before my hernia because of this belt. However I am very careful about lifting anything too heavy. I also do things smarter. I use a piece of equipment whenever practical to drag or lift things. I also ask friends for help on occasion. I hope that this information is useful. All the best.

Confortable et ajustable

Started off great but after 2 months the straps would not hold / secure anymore.

Un ajustement est nécessaire.
