FlexaMed Right Inguinal Hernia Truss Belt with Support Pad, Black, Medium | Adjustable hernia support with removable compression pad helps relieve reducible inguinal hernia discomfort for daily wear

I'm about 38" or 98 cm and my hernia is lower abdominal. The large size is OK and the medium is also OK - Pretty tight - but not uncomfortable. In either one, I put a soft wool sock rolled up inside the cup to put on extra pressure on the exact spot. With this on, I can go through the day in no pain - a huge help. Well-made and seems durable so far after a few weeks.

I first got a inguinal hernia in the mid 1970’s. For whatever the reason back then, just rested and it went away. I had forgotten about it, and in the 1980’s had a very physical job with lots of exertion. No hernia or sign of it. Then starting in the latter 80’s, started going to the gym and used free weights on regular basis for decades. No issues with hernia until 2022 when it reappeared out of nowhere. Then I remembered I had it way back when. It isn’t a very large bulge, and doesn’t hurt. Doctor said not to worry unless something changes. I asked about a truss and he said I could try one. Wanted to get the Uriel as I read great things about it. But not available in my size. Somewhere along the way clicking and reading saw something about the Flexamed being a newer version of - I believe - the Uriel. At any rate, purchased a small and medium. The small is the one I use the most. I’m small…33” measurement around hips. But the medium also works for me. After finally figuring out the leg strap (bring it under and then straight up through the belt/truss…works very well. It’s comfortable..well..considering..but seems to work keeping things in place. I still work out and cycle and do yoga and other exercise regularly.. Sometimes I use this during workouts, sometimes not. Rarely if ever sleep with it on. Would still like to compare to the Uriel if it’s ever available again. But would recommend giving this one a go. There are others that look good too, but some have a very large pad which I don’t think would work well for me. The pad on this is just enough to put ample pressure where needed.

It does help but I feel that it is made for people with larger legs. the smaller strap that goes around your leg is not as tight but the belt part fits great. To fix the issue, I folded a sock up and put it under the pad to help put enough pressure to keep the hernia in better. It's not a 100 % fix but it does help with getting around and doing things while I wait for surgery.

Very good long lasting hernia belt.

I used the support every day. It’s of good quality and very easy to use. Pay attention to the providers advice for sizing. I bought the medium size as I was right on the threshold of medium size or larger. I used the medium size for a few days and it was very cumbersome to use, so I ordered the large size and it worked perfectly. No overstretching or pinching. I did not bother to return the first one for obvious reasons. If you are on the borderline of sizes, go with the next one up.

For the most part, the product was so-so. When it arrived, I bent down to pick up the package off the ground. I know you can't judge the book by its cover,and that dynamite comes in small packages. It arrived in a little, flimsy, beautifully illustrated extremely thin cardboard box approx. 6"x6"x2" thick that has a very high gloss finish to it. Along with instructions clearly printed on the backside of the box; that hardly weighs anything. My first impression was, I got ripped off! But like I said, you can't judge the book by its cover. Upon opening it, (though it hardly weighed anything), to be honest with you, it is of quality. Upon trying it on ("without") connecting the strap, it felt good; and it really did help with the hernia that was protruding and it did help with the pain, and discomfort. But to be honest with you, I purchased this item because Amazon rated it as their choice though it only had a little over 1700 likes. I may end up purchasing another one soon from another brand/Company that has a little bit over 5800 likes that's also rated #1 which I think may be better. The only, only, reason why I wasn't 100% totally satisfied with this particular item, was, because it's poorly designed. Perhaps it's because it's designed too close to the competition;for US patent purposes. My version of the belt is designed for having a hernia on my right hand side.The strap that comes with it is unlike the competitions it starts below the triangle piece in the front, and goes through your legs and come out the back end and could only be attached in an awkward uncomfortable way on the belt on the right hand side of the belt through a loop and attaches with velcro. But the problem is: that the velcro piece that attaches the velcro together, is inside the of the belts loop. that you slip it through, the velcro piece that you need is sewn on the opposite side; therefore, it becomes twisted instead of laying flat. It's extremely uncomfortable because the strap is twisted. Unlike the competition where it starts from the back of the belt goes through your legs in the front,and attaches to a little clip/buckle in the front which allows you to tighten it should you need to. You can't do this with the one that I have; it's the opposite. And not only is it the opposite, it doesn't come with a clip/buckle so that you can tighten it and attach it to. The strap is uncomfortable to wear because It could only be worn twisted.This was not explained prior to me purchasing it. I don't know if this is a defected one that they wanted to hurry up and get rid of it as soon as possible.Otherwise, I would have given it 10 Stars

It is comfortable and cozy, help for when they have a hernia, recommended.

This was by far the best belt of the three we ordered to try for my husband's inguinal hernia. When we ordered the belt, he had a protrusion that hurt, but after a short time of putting pressure on the hernia by the design of this belt (exactly in the right place with a nice compact pad), the protrusion disappeared, and pain went away. He says it is very comfortable, and will continue to wear until surgery, which is considered non-emergency and won't happen for two-months. The other two belts we ordered both had a plastic ring that the leg strap threads through near the groin, and we had read in some reviews of those belts that it was uncomfortable. This belt has no plastic ring to worry about, and length of leg strap is easily adjustable. Other belts also had massively oversized pads.
