EVERYDAY MEDICAL Hernia Belt for Men - Inguinal Hernia Support for Men, Adjustable Waist Strap Groin Support, Post-Surgery Truss Suitable for Left or Right Side - Black, Small/Medium

The vast majority of reviews for this product state how truly excellent it is.So I'll not repeat everything that such reviews quote except to say that I am absolutely delighted with the virtually instant relief that it gives.I no longer have to keep my hand under the waistband of my trousers or apparently in my groin area just to keep the pressure on 'that area'. Okay around the house maybe - but around the office? the meeting room table? On public transport? Walking around the shops?!The pressure is always on now and life is sooo much easier.The only additional advice I would offer is that if you wear a heavy belt on your trousers and your trousers (even with the belt) slip downthen remember that this is putting downward pressure on the pressure pad which will tend to move that pad sufficiently to remind you why you are wearing it to start with. Either pull your trousers up or swap your trouser belt for braces. Or use both.Excellent product. Very well designed, thought through and made. This product is an essential purchase if you have an inguinal hernia.

I was recommended to buy a hernia support by the consultant at the local hospital following an emergency appointment. I have had an hernia since 2014 that had not caused me any problems until a fortnight ago following a coughing fit.Following the consultant's advice I reviewed a number of supports and finally settled on this one. I must admit it is a brilliant piece of kit and noticed a huge difference from the moment I started to wear it. It gives great support all day and is not uncomfortable. OK as my hernia is on the right I now have to dress my tackle on the left which feels a bit odd and the strap that goes underneath the groin feels like you have a permanent wedgie. Not an issue as this belt gives you great support.Highly recommended for anyone who has a hernia and needs some support.

Never used anything like this before. It was a little awkward to start with but after a week or so of wearing it it's now very straight forward to use and reasonably comfortable. I am using the belt, pre-op, to enable me to continue working, all be it in a limited capacity.There is one issue that bothers me, but may be of no consequence to others, and that is the rigid plastic loop on the back of belt to front of belt support strap. You can see the loop on the advertising photo. Whilst I am using the belt, this loop is further down and gets wedged into the inside of my upper thigh and groin making it very uncomfortable, even painful. There's nothing I can do about it other than wedge some tissue paper in there to prevent chafing. Even with this complaint about the belt, the overall improvement to life at this moment using this belt is worth any inconvenience to use it.

Got to say this hernia belt is unbelievable. Fantastic quality for the price, and really has helped me carry on doing the things I love. Doc told me not to go to the gym or play golf while I wait for my Op with the NHS. No date yet, but they are hoping to fit me in before 2037. Anyway, I strap my belt on and it keeps your hernia nice and flat and supported, bit of a wedgy feel with the under strap, and it needs to be placed correctly to the side of your Crown Jewels for maximum comfort, but after a few training sessions and a few 18 holers you get used to it. It’s not too evident you’ve got it on, but due to the position it sits you do have to make some adjustments to your belts or pants to accommodate it. Overall I’d give this a 10/10. I can lift light weights and play golf without being scared I’m doing more damage.

Holds in an inigual hernia well but as I am 30 inch waist the smallest was a bit too large so had to put a tuck in itAlso strap under was rubbing so had to cover with some cloth So a lot of DIY needed!

initially I had no great expectations, but was very pleasantly surprised. I fitted the item when delivered and found complete comfort straight away. The fitting is straight forward. The belt fits around the hips not the waist, so feels a little awkward at first. There has to be some adjustment, as we are all different, but I found the belt comfortable. I have now worn the belt for three days and the relief has been wonderful.There were reviews, which stated the padding was too hard and large, I have not found this the case, but not all hernia's are the same, so this must be kept in mind.For me, this has been an item that does as it states and I would recommend it.Now having worn this item for a number of week and I have found as my hernia has weaken, the pad has been found to be too hard. I have now removed and replaced with a sock for comfort.It is important, not to wear the belt too tight, as it could, as it did in my case cause sciatica (pressure on a nerve in the leg, leading to pain).

Slightly uncomfortable till you get use to it, but must be honest it works a treat.

The harness is pretty well made but I wish I'd returned it earlier. Issues are that the item just cannot be worn anywhere near discreetly, tbe pad creates a massive bulge, the velcro sticks to everything making fitting a pain as so slow and noisy. Maybe it could have a use if you weren't continuing to work or be mobile? There are better ones available which you will actually use.
