Tenbon Hernia Belt Truss for Men and Women Left or Right Side Supportive Groin Pain with Removable Compression Pads for Pre or Post-Surgical, Femoral, Comfortable Adjustable (Black, L)

So I suffered a hernia a few weeks before holiday, waiting for an operation, it was making life very uncomfortable in general, at home, work, I was seriously worried about flying, coughing, sneezing and being active on holiday. Consultant recommended this truss, I actually purchased 3 different types - this was by far the best for design, fit, comfort and effectiveness of keeping the hernia in - so I returned the other 2 and got another one of these. Best thing I ever did it has taken all the stress out, no issues driving, flying, swimming, walking, it’s discreet and comfortable and easy to clean as well. If you go through customs just remove the memory foam pad and pop it in the tray and put it back in after, first time round I left mine in, came up on the scanner and had to do a private search lol no issues but learnt and not a problem removing it and fitting it back the the second time. Ref swimming - buy 2 so u have a dry one, but also remove the poo ad and squeeze it out as it holds a lot of water, drip drys pretty quick

Comfortable and supportive.

I've just started with an inguinal hernia and was suffering great pain. As soon as I fitted the belt the pain disappeared. I would have given the belt 5 stars but it has one weakness. The thin strap that attaches to the waistband and front pouch has two small velcro ends. The end that you attach to the waistband is not very strong and easy to dislodge. I suspect over time it will fail to attach as it wears. It would be far better if the strap had splayed wider ends that made a firmer grip. Then it would be a great hernia belt worthy of 5 stars. Having said that, if like me you're waiting for an operation, it's a brilliant device for a month or two.

Great fit and husband found it very useful for keeping hernia in place.

Very impressed so far. Easy to put on and has given me immediate relief from unpleasant symptoms. Will see how long it lasts though.

This truss worked for the couple of weeks whilst my hernia was small, but didn't stop it developing. Actually the design is pretty poor, it may be better for a hernia just below the belt line, but for an inguinal hernia further down it barely presses on the hernia. This is partly due to the shape of the pad being symmetrical (the area between your thigh and groin is not symmetrical), and the strap that goes from front to back is about 10cm too long so doesn't hold the pad in place. I wrapped this strap around the belt at the rear to shorten it. Another serious problem was that the end of the belt with the hook fastener system curled around at the edges after about a week reducing the contact area with the loops to a few square centimetres. I used some elastic bands to hold the hook and loop parts together for a couple of weeks and then took it to a sewing/mending shop and had the belt machine stitched to my size. Overall this was a very disappointing purchase.

If you’ve had unreduced hernia pain you will know it can bring tears to your eyes. After three trips to A&E the five hour wait on a trolley for the consultant was worth it when he ‘reduced’ (pushed back in) the hernia in 20 seconds flat, also with me FLAT if you’re doing it yourself. He then advised a truss until the hernia could be repaired by investigation in clinic and possible surgery. Unfortunately he just advised ‘a’ truss to the staff, not exactly which type. The truss the staff came back with was a ‘jock strap’ for a scrotal truss. Mine is inguinal and the truss was useless. Rather than have my wife drive me the 30 miles to A&E for the fourth time in as many days, I did a bit of research and came up with this one partly because of the ‘prime’ SAME DAY promised delivery. It didn’t turn up and the ‘no reply’ email address seemed to understand my curt response as it was on the doorstep this morning. Thank you Amazon system for having more sense than your creators. Perhaps AI is more common than we think. All health products should have priority delivery. Without health we cannot work. Without the wealth from work we cannot pay our taxes. Without taxes the economy goes to pot and everyone, Government included, uses stealth to avoid or gather the taxes. Health, Wealth, Stealth. A very simple but effective product that has allowed me to walk out for the first time in three weeks. Many thanks. Durability will now be part of the criteria. I’ll let you know…. One note ….the ‘instructions’ don’t match the product. If you want to change from right to left the ‘front panel’ does NOT come off; you need to slide the pouch round to the left and tighten the belt Velcro fastener somewhere over your tummy. If you are male, I would advise wearing boxer shorts with loose fitting legs so that you do not have to unfasten the belt to ‘spend a penny’. Nuff said?……

After being diagnosed with a inguinal hernia I wanted something I can buy to wear until surgery to try to forget about it, reduce any visibility, the aches and pains. I thought I'd give this a try from the reviews and I've been wearing it every day all day and take it off at night. At first I was so self-conscious that others would notice this through my clothes and feel a little silly however it really isn't noticeable and if somone was to really study you could get away with it just being something in your pocket especially in jeans. It has just become an additional piece of clothing for me. With the NHS waiting times for an operation this is going to be a game changer. I put this on in the morning laying down to make sure the hernia isn't out. I have already brought another for when this one is in the wash. The velcro seems fine ATM I've read from previous comments it's not reliable but if I get any issues I'll just sew some on myself. The fit is great and it's comfy as it can be for what it is and you really do forget your wearing it, I mean it's definitely better than the alternatives to not wearing it.
