Tenbon Inguinal Hernia Belt for Men & Women - Adjustable Bilateral/Double Inguinal, Groin Hernia Support Truss for Pre & Post Surgery with 2 Removable Pads, Breathable & Discreet Wear Under Clothes (X-Large)

I'm 74. I was feeling occasional pangs of lower abdominal pain. After an MD exam I realized I have an inguinal hernia on my left side. The first opportunity I have for surgery is about 6 weeks away. The more I continued to work in my yard and play with my grand kids the more frequently the pains were occurring. The low pressure also increased after a big meal. I looked at several trusses on Amazon and this Tenbon belt truss seemed like a simple non-bulky unit for a reasonable price. I got the double belt thinking it might be more versatile and might give me more support all the way across my lower groin, even if I only needed and used the left side pad. Delivery was 1 day. As soon as I put this on I could feel the support pushing against my hernia. There were no pain pangs and I feel more confident that every strenuous activity will not be making my hernia worse. This really lets me do much of my normal life without worrying or being super cautious. I still avoid heavy direct lifting of over 50 lbs but I no longer worry about doing most other activities. I took the plastic pad out of the right side and I do feel more support all the way across my lower abdomen so I'm glad I got the double unit. 1) After a few tries and adjustments this belt is easy to put on and take off. Just pull each leg loop up and into place and the pull the waist strap around from your back and velcro the end to the front of the strap. 2) I have a 33 waist and wear 32 or 34 pant size. I bought the LARGE size belt and it fits perfect. There is extra length and it stretches so If you are a 35 to 37 pant size I'd still recommend the Large. 3) This belt is light weight and not bulky. It rides about an inch or 2 lower than your pant waist /belt line and no one can notice that you are wearing it under regular pants or shorts. I have not tried it with jeans. 4) It's well made. Easy to adjust for many thigh widths. Very comfortable to wear all day. 5) It's a difficult to pee standing up but the whole unit slides up and down easily without undoing the waist strap if you just drop it with your underwear to sit down. This Truss has been a life saver for me as it relieved my fears of walking stairs or doing most normal activity. I would definitely recommend it. ------------------------------------------- Edit 6/26/22 I have now been wearing this belt for 4 weeks including a week vacation for a college reunion. I could not have managed without this belt. It was comfortable on a 5 hour flight and easy to manage in the bathrooms. It was inconspicuous under several types of pants (shorts, stretch golf pants and dress slacks) . It even supported for long times standing and dancing. A few times I didn't wear it in the morning and I could feel the hernia bulging. When I pit it back on the pain disappeared and the bulge stayed down. I did not wear it when sleeping.

Most of it works quite well. However, each of the grippy Velcro ends lacks a stiff backing. What happens as a result is that they very quickly curl up, and then end up gripping your clothes. The net result is that you put it on, and as you put on your clothes over it, it grips the Velcro ends and pulls them off, causing the belt to fall off. It also makes removing the belt more problematic. My solution has been to cut off the curly Velcro piece on the end. There is enough Velcro left with backing that it still works. I don’t think I can cut the wider strap around the waist, but I can deal with that. I reached out about the issue and the customer service is great.

I originally gave this item a low review because I wasn't happy with the fit and feel (see below). However, Now that I have tried a number of other belts, I need to take that first review back and rate it higher. Of those I tried, This was the best. Once I learned how to put it on properly (there are no real instructions that accompany it. I had to figure it out on my own. And that is why I'm only giving it 4 stars), this belt felt the best, had the best actual fit, and did the best job. All the others I tried fit much worse, were more uncomfortable, and did a very poor job of holding things in place. So, Go ahead and try the others for yourself. You might find one you like better. However, of those I tried, this was definitely the best. __________________________________________Original Review_________________________________________________ This belt did not work well for me. The problem is the belts that go under your legs. although the waistband is a good fit and easily adjusts, the straps that go under your legs are way too large (may be appropriate if you are morbidly obese, but just don't work for me. The problem is the belts have velcro on both ends. There is no real effective way to tighten them so they fit properly. After wearing this belt for about a week, I am giving up on it and ordering a different brand with a belt that is adjustable.

It really helped control the repaired area of my hernia

Comfortable and effective for the purpose that it's intended for, but heck, can't the manufacturer spend the one extra sheckel to increase the depth of its velcro teeth? The micro-millimeter stuff that they're incorporating now rapidly clogs with fiber and loses its ability to cling. Failing that a cling hook of some sort would certainly help to alleviate a problem that totally defeats the purpose of an otherwise good product. Penny-wise, pound foolish. SILLY!

Sadly, I recently developed an inguinal hernia, most likely do in equal parts to my 50+ age and frequent resistance training. My family also has a proclivity for getting them so I also got a raw deal on the genetics side. Anyway, I tried another other belt before this one and there is no comparison. The Tenbon Truss is superior in every way, from materials to proper support. It is also easier to use. The other has a thong style center band while this one wraps around the legs and buttocks, avoiding going up "the crack". It is fairly easy to put on quickly, and using the bathroom isn't as much of a chore. I recommend long form fitting boxers when using a truss. Hey, I'm not happy about having to wear this, but I'm glad to have it. I didn't put it on one morning and sat down the wrong way, and ...OUCH! If you've experienced the hot poker like pain, then I don't need to describe it. If you haven't yet felt the pain but have developed a hernia, then do yourself a favor and don't let that happen. I'm not sure when surgery will be an option, but until then this belt is my new best friend. I like the quality of this product and the fact I can just wear it to protect one side. The straps are very adjustable. I 6' and 185 lbs., and the medium is ideal for my 32" waist. ~ Kort

Works very well for Inguinal Hernias. Has pads for either side, or you can use both at the same time if you have a double like me. It's as comfy as it can be, make sure the Velcro is lined up properly. It's a bit bulky and awkward but it's way better than going without. I've got a month until surgery and I'll wear this everyday.

Using this post-surgery for inguinal hernia recovery and it's been a solid choice. The key feature is how adjustable it is — you can dial in the fit and pressure placement precisely, which matters a lot when you need proper alignment with the hernia site. Once adjusted correctly it's comfortable enough to get through a full day. Sizing is accurate; I wear a 36" waist in jeans and the large fits perfectly. The one limitation is pad size — if your hernia sits further from center, the pads could stand to be a bit wider and taller to provide adequate coverage. For a more centrally located hernia this likely isn't an issue. If you're shopping for post-surgical support, the adjustability here is what sets it apart from a basic truss.

I had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery as a woman, and then I had a baby. Now that my baby is bigger, this hernia belt has been a lifesaver. It helps me carry him without the risk of a recurrence and the pain, it is providing the support I need throughout the day. The fit is comfortable, and it’s kinda discreet under clothing. I’m so glad I found this belt.

I saw a high rating for this product therefore i bought the product but it's very uncomfortable to wear and do any exercise.

He comprado varias y por mucho esta ha sido la mejor, super recomendable

Cumple muy bien con su función

Es algo incomoda de usar y no siento presión en las hernias al momento de usarla.
