I HAVE BOUGHT 2 SO I HAVE ONE IN MY HOME AND ONE IN MY VEHICLE IF I NEED IT. THEY GIVE ME SOME SUPPORT I OCCASIONALLY NEED. WHEN I TAKE IT OFF MY BELLY BUTTON HERNIA IS GONE FOR A SHORT WHILE, THEN IT COMES BACK OUT. NOT A LOT OF MONEY AND I OULD SAY THEY WORK FOR ME. WHEN I'M DOING A LOT OF LIFTING BE IT IN THE YARD OR MY GARAGE OR ANYWHERE, I PUT ONE ON. I TJHINK IT HELPS ME.

I have another abdominal hernia girdle, in white color, which I bought from a medical supply gear, and i paid about 15 USD more than this one. The white color is very visible worn under some clothing, and gets easily stained when worn on top of other clothing. So I was looking for a black one.I decided to give this one a try.I usually wear under my clothes when I am not at home, directly on my skin. They both make me sweat a lot, like, dripping. so they both need to be washed daily or at least every other day. This is why i bought a secon one.Like some other reviews recommend, you can use a cotton shirt underneath, and another top to cover it, but I live in South Florida, and it's too hot to wear double clothing in addition to this.Comparing to the first one I have, "more professional ", this has:Pros:- competitive price- color goes with any clothing color and doesn't get stained as easily as the white color- lightweight- good support yet softnessCons:- it doesn't have anything to support it on the sides, so it easily rolls up.- the velcro area is as wide as the back where it attaches, and it rolls out (see pictures) so it ruins fabrics. It should be smaller, to prevent the scratchy side to rub on skin or clothing. It has already ruined lots of clothes.- the silicon disc that pushes the hernia is cheaper and less pointed, the cover cannot be removed. But it still does it job well, keeping the hernia in place.If the seller whom I bought the first one had black ones, I would probably have purchased that one instead of this. The support on the back and the velcro issues are the reasons. I am really annoyed now...6 months later: this is really useless. I have used it very little since my initial review, and the velcro no longer stays on. It keeps opening constantly.The other one I have, "the white one" went by mistake in the dryer and I thought I had ruined it. It was a little curled up but it still works has a strong grip.If you need to use this hernia girdle for a long time, more than two or three months, I would recommend to get a more professional one.

I've purchased multiple hernia belts and thought this one would be an improved design. However I found the materials to be cheap, uncomfortable and not sized as listed. Small/Medium say it fits up to 35" waist. I'm 34" (no added belly fat) and I could barely get the velcro to reach. It required so much forces just to get velcro onto the belt that it created excessive force on abdomen/ribs/spine. The velcro is also the worst kind of stabby abrasive velcro and if you don't get it exactly aligned on the material is cuts into your skin. Thirdly, the shaped silicone belly puck is very broad, maybe good if you have a HUGE gut, but not a good fit for any normal sized belly button. Other brands I've bought on here have a much better shape. Honestly, this belt seemed like a cheap piece of junk and was the least comfortable out of all the others I've tried, especially for the price. Others with soft fabric or soft neoprene, softer velcro and finer sewing are going to be a lot more comfortable on your skin. This one just seems harsh and cheap, that's me impression of it.

Functional but cheap materials and construction.
