Inguinal Hernia Support Belt Groin Truss Brace Post Surgery Hernia Pain Relief, Two Compression Pressure Foam Pads,Adjustable Elastic straps Medium

As someone who had to lift heavy loads on a daily basis (I was working as a delivery driver for a fruit & veg wholesalers when my left-side hernia appeared), I can honestly say this support made a world of difference. I was able to continue working, which included lifting countless bags of potatoes /onions (weighing 25kgs each), carrying produce up flights of stairs, driving a goods vehicle and unloading delivery vehicles all with pretty much normal levels of ease. Obviously it's not as comfortable as say, not having a hernia!, but as the situation needs to be dealt with, it's a very good solution. I ordered the double sided version, despite only having a left-side hernia and I'm glad I did... Due to the strain involved with my job, I obviously wanted as much support as possible so I removed the pad from the right-side and doubled up the left side support (takes a few seconds, the pads aren't stitched in or anything) and it was very good without feeling like it was putting too much pressure on my groin when sitting. As for how to wear in relation to your underwear, there are pros an cons for both options... Under your underwear - PROs makes going to the loo MUCH easier, and once you positioned the straps comfortably, which does take some trial and error, I found this way much more comfortable throughout the day for my 'gentleman's area' CONs - the straps aren't exactly made from Egyptian cotton and can become quite irritating, particularly if and when they start to twist through not being positioned correctly - a small layering of sudocrem solves this problem though. The other issue is hygiene, this method leads to the strap needing to be washed on a more regular basis, I'm sure the reason is self-explanatory! Over underwear PROs - more hygienic! See reverse of above. Also, can be less irritating to skin as no direct contact between skin and the straps. CONs - going to the loo is a pain in the backside (excuse the pun) and given that your have a strap pressed against your abdomin, I found I needed the loo more often!! Also, it is VERY restrictive on your private parts. If you do a lot of moving around, driving etc, you constantly feel the need to 'adjust' but you can't as you have a strap either side holding your underwear down tight over your bits! Personally, I preferred the UNDER the underwear method and kept a small tub of sudocrem on me but we're all different I guess. Right now I'm in recovery following repair surgery, hence I have so much time to write this, possibly unnecessarily long, review on a hernia strap... I do, however, feel that this thing really did make my life so much more bearable than it could have been and I would highly recommend it. Hopefully I'll never have to use it again but I don't think they retain much of a secondhand value!!

Immediate relief from pain. I have 2 iguinal hernias, the left one larger. The item is excellent,v very well made with really strong Velcro. My only concern is that it gives great support in holding the hernias in but when you step into your jeans/trousers you cannot fasten them up as the pads are real large. The two sides of the pants hardly meet. I took one pad out, which really defeats the object. Going to look for something I can replace the pads with which are smaller. Don’t wear them if you’re going into a park as it’ll look real suspicious with only the first rivet of your jeans fastened. The elasticated waist is very strong, perhaps even enough to keep hernia in without pads. Great for wearing around the house over boxers. Would I recommend them…yes.

I have had 2 hernia repairs some time ago. But bought this to help with scar tissue pain. It helped to support the area the hernias where. I found it helpful when I had a cold and cough as the cough aggravated the scar tissue.

I bought this for my husband and it’s a real game changer. He suffered most days at work , with pain and this item virtually stopped the daily pain he was getting. You often wonder if these products work. This does!! Easy to put on and comfortable too.

The leg straps are flimsy and not up to the task. I replaced them with straps salvaged from my previous almost identical double hernia support purchased in 2023. This has transformed the item making it comfortable and supportive.

When the support arrived I was a bit put off by the fact that the box containing the it was covered in sellotape giving the impression that it was a "return"!. However the support itself was new and sealed so I gave it a go. Absolutely delighted with it. I wore to a family party and was able to dance without any discomfort and now I wear it nearly everyday, particularly if I am walking or doing DIY etc. The support is very comfortable to wear and at times I barely know it's there! Recommended!

Honestly it’s not the most comfortable thing to wear if you do manual work but it genuinely works amazingly. No pain from hernia wearing thing but it does rub a little if your moving round a lot. But that’s a small price for the pain relief I think.

Bought for post op surgery. And for pain easing. Size was prefect and easy to use. Has good strong velcro making the wearing of it very comfortable

Best purchase this year 2023,in my case it works great.Bought a second one as a spare for when it goes in the handwash :-)

Soutien bien l'hernie et discret. En attendant l'opération c'est très efficace.

Abdominal support

The quality of the belt and Velcro in particular- both excellent. When I first opened the package, I thought the hernia pads were freakishly large but they are location adjustable and properly sized to keep the protrusions in place. A great design feature is how the straps that apply pressure to the hernia pads are affixed to the back of the belt with an adjustable loop (adjustable for location on the back of the belt). Other units use Velcro front and back and they fall off the back way too easily. I wear a 32 pant and the medium is perfect. No real negatives. Comfortable and effective. And stops me from becoming Yaphit from “The Orville”

Found it useless for myself unfortunately. Non returnable
