Wonder Care 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 underwearPROs - 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.

There are a lot of reviews for this hernia belt from men, so I wasn’t sure if it would help me, a woman with an Inguinal hernia.I’m glad to say that it does help, and isn’t as uncomfortable as it may look. I used the size guide, and ordered the next size down, as some have suggested, and it’s a good fit. I had to adjust it to a comfortable fit, and that took a few adjustments, so I needed to be patient. don’t use it all the time, but if I’m doing gardening, or having an uncomfortable time with the hernia, it certainly helps.I wear it over trousers with a long top, and it’s hardly noticeable, and comfortable.I’m waiting for a hospital date, but it’s been 7 months since I was referred, and I’m not holding my breath. I would definitely recommend this belt.

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.

Hernia pain was constant, and if I so much as wanted to cough, I had to hold my groin to prevent greater discomfort. From the moment I put on the belt, I felt more secure and the pain reduced. I can still feel the hernia, but it is much better when using the belt. I had recently dropped a waist size in trousers, but my jeans that had become one size too big have proved ideal for wearing over the belt. It's a good idea to rehearse toileting procedures at home before going out anywhere so that you are aware of any snags when negotiating the belt and straps, but I would certainly recommend this product if you are troubled by hernia(s).

it does not do the purpose it supposed to do. the padded inserts are far too bulky.

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.

The support is allowing for relief during exercise ahead of getting hernia sortedHolding its shape and not becoming loose without the elastic losing its integrity.Would recommend, maybe not for massively extended periods, as the straps around groin can start to get a little uncomfortable
