ORTONYX Ergonomic Umbilical Hernia Belt for Men and Women - Abdominal Support Binder with Compression Pad - Navel Ventral Epigastric Incisional and Belly Button Hernias Surgery Brace - OX353-L/XXL

A high quality, well-made product that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. An excellent value for the price, as well. I highly recommend this item for anyone needing this type of belt.

I recently learned that I have an abdominal hernia and have been trying various belts and compression garments to help until my surgery. This product is by far my favorite. It's the only one that doesn't dig in or rub uncomfortably anywhere. It's also the only one that applies the right level of pressure on the hernia (thanks to the insertable, movable pad) as well as everywhere around the hernia (the others are all too tight or loose in different spots). In general, I've come to the conclusion that compression material which flexes in all directions isn't a good approach to hernias, because it spreads all around evenly, which means the hernia still has weak pressure on it compared with the rest of the abdomen, allowing things to bulge through the hernia. In contrast, this product works because it can be adjusted to apply the right level of pressure on and off the hernia. I definitely recommend it.Some notes, in case they apply to others:1. I have sensitive skin that is easily injured by rubbing, so I wear a camisole under this. I haven't had any problems that way, so others might be fine with this on their skin. It can also be worn over clothing.2. I have a herniated disk in my lower back, which means this belt covers that area, too. As long as I position the belt correctly, so it covers that whole part of my back instead of half of it, I find it helps the back, too.3. So far, I've only worn this during the day. It seems a bit bulky for night use (not that it's bulky per se - it's actually very good for products of its kind, but they're all inherently bulkier than pajamas), but since I haven't found anything else that works at night, I might give this a try. If it works, I'll update this review.

this is a great product. comfortable and easy to get tight around your waist. Depending on how often you use it or what your doing while wearing it, it can last 6 to 12 months or longer. Affordable.

It's been very helpful on my daily walks.It supports my belly, I have two hernias.No more pain.I recommend it.

Very nice and comfortable, does a great job and looking great

It’s ok , I got the large but should have got a medium.

Good product that can easily be attached with different tensions. Length is just as stated in listing. The pad can be placed at various heights so you can keep the belt at your waist. Pad stays in place well as it is Velcro backed. It is flexible and comfortable even you need to wear for long stretches. Not sure about long term durability but has been fine for 14 days. Much much better than ACE bandage type wraps. This product is described accurately. I like that it is wider in the front but not the sides so it does not bunch up under clothes. The best I have tried!

I like this hernia belt a lot better than the other binder I was using as it is more comfortable, flexible and provides better overall support.
