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

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.

Tengo una hernia en el abdomen y esta faja es excelente buen material cómoda y fácil de usar.

I am satisfied, high quality, great comfort

This is a very well made brace! Easy to put on by myself, and pull it tight with a little adjusting. Lots of velcro that holds strong when sitting or bending. Doesn't roll up. Also has a small (hand size) pad, that you can apply right over the hernia, for extra compression. I am very pleased with it, and find the size to be perfect for my body shape and size.

Nice velcro hold and has helped my dull abdominal ache. Adjustable and easy to use.
