EVERYDAY MEDICAL Umbilical Hernia Belt - For Women and Men – Abdominal Hernia Binder for Belly Button Navel Hernia Support, Helps Relieve Pain - S/M

This was selected after a lot of research. The reason being shape of the silicone pad would fit into my navel and keep everything in place until my surgery. Plus the description also said it could be used after surgery. Holding the hernia in has made me feel so much comfortable that I have been able to return to a wider range of exercise in the gym and at home so in only a week my muscle control had significantly improved to the point where I could hold my tum in without pinching the hernia even when I wasn't wearing the belt.# The belt is very comfortable, although it is best worn over a tea shirt rather than against the skin. I do have one little reservation and that is the positioning of the two stiffening strips. depending upon your waist size and the amount of overlap of the fastening the stiffening strips can work out to be in a position that dig in a bit. If these could be easily removed or repositioned this belt would be perfect.

Nice fit, does the job when you are moving around preventing hernia protruding or getting worse

Product is good,works for me.be aware that it is only half the size of the one shown but still a good fit.

It worked well but there are some parts which cause irritation against the skin. Now with continued use the elasticity is becoming slack so it is not as supportive as before :(

This is a brilliant product. I have quite a big incisional hernia and have been advised not to have surgery. I have tried lots of different supports but only just discovered this one. It has made me feel normal again. It’s so comfortable and the pad holds the hernia gently but firmly. I ordered a second one as soon as I’d had the first for a day. I can’t recommend this product highly enough. I’m sure I will be buying it again but for now I have two and I wear them both day and night. One final point, unlike others I’ve tried this can be worn next to the skin with comfort. Brilliant and the service was so quick.

Good quality item

Exactly what was needed… A replacement for old one.

What a relief not to be poking around in your belly button every 10 minutes, first day or two was such a pleasure, unfortunately even though I was happy, my body, no so much, they shaped pad, although very soft, started to make my skin sore and after two nights sleeping with the belt on, I started to wake up with a slight amount of back ache, have worn it on and off a fair bit since but only when my hernia is “acting up”, a shame really, very comfy to wear, even when siting or sleeping, you might have better luck, even just wearing the belt helps

Perfetta ed efficace 👍

The belt itself has a Velcro “bulge” that helps to keep the hernia from protruding. That bulge helps but isn’t nearly enough to actually keep the hernia pushed in. I was suffering from intestinal blockage because of the size of the hernia (2.5” diameter) yet surgery is not an option. I was having to walk around with my finger pushed into the hernia hole so that the intestines could function properly. This belt, coupled with a “plug” that was molded from Polly Plastics moldable plastic provided the solution. The hernia gets pushed back into the abdomen and then the plug is put in place. A cloth is put over where the belt overlap will be (that can get uncomfortable after 24 hours) and then the belt is put on. The belt has enough tension that it holds the plug in place. It is a comfortable support and, short of a hard cough, the hernia stays put. Now I can at least heal from the intestinal blockage issues. The setup is comfortable to wear day and night. It is a very good solution for me until surgery can be had. One of the features of the belt is that it has stiffeners sewn into it in two places which helps to keep it from scrunching up in the back. That greatly helps in keeping the full, comfortable support of the belt after a long day. I was uncertain about the belt size because the waist is 36 but the belly would be about 40. The small/medium belt was chosen and it has worked VERY well. There is enough elasticity in the belt that it could go a bit larger than 40”, but since it takes pressure to hold a hernia in then this belt size proved to be a winner for that purpose.

Better if fastener was wider or there were a number of different sections

Sitzt sehr gut unter dem Hemd. Benutze ich, um meine geprellte Rippen zu stabilisieren. Hält gut und hat mir wirklich geholfen, auf die Beine zu kommen.

Estoy muy contenta con la faja, tengo una hernia para operar pero de momento me han aconsejado perder peso y con esta faja no tengo las molestias propias que genera, es finita y no da mucho calor.. es lo que buscaba.. no sé lo que me durará porque llevo menos un mes con ella y genial... de todas formas por el precio si se me estropea me compraré otra.. la recomiendo
