FlexaMedLeft Side Inguinal Groin Hernia Truss with Compression Pad White - Medium

Bought this for my husband. He owns a bread sales route (lots of heavy lifting) and just can't take time off for surgery right now. He had been having a lot of swelling and pain, so I bought this hoping it would help. I am a nurse, he rarely listens to me or follows my suggestions, lol, and my husband never likes anything!!! I can tell you he is super happy with this product. I am shocked! He feels no discomfort at all if he wears it. He is miserable if he doesn't. Our goal was to keep him from needing surgery soon. It works so well that I just bought another one today so he doesn't have to wash it as much. He says it was awkward and annoying at first when he had to use the restroom because of the strap to help keep it in place, but he has gotten over that since he feels so much better. It comes with a pad that you have to place over the hernia to help hold it in place. If you are suffering and can't have a surgery right now, this is the product for you. It was true to size, so he wears medium underwear, and the medium belts fits perfect. Good luck!

Diagnosed with left groin hernia. On my feet all day lifting, pushing, pulling, climbing ladders and bending at the waist. Had a lot of pain while working and would have to keep one hand on area to quite the pain. Ordered this belt until I can get in for surgery. Not only has this belt allowed me to work all day without pain it has kept the area from getting worse. The fit is great and easy to use outside of boxer style briefs. Have found that while wearing pants with a belt causes pressure on damaged area so I use a cheap pair of suspenders hooked to my belt to keep the pants up without having to keep the belt on my pants to tight. With this combination I can work all day without pain. Great product. Hope this review helps someone. Not paid for this honest review.

This gave great relief from my hernia's protrusion while awaiting surgery! It is comfortable to wear! It adjusts readily!HOWEVER, IT IS STITCHED WITH A RUNNING STITCH.....NOT A LOCKING STITCH and started to come apart after wearing it over knitted briefs, during waking hours, for 12 days. After surgery, I noticed one seam had started to unravel. By lightly pulling on the loose end of the thread it quickly began to un-zip. Other reviews & pictures for this product depict a serious loss of stitching after both wearing and washing. I believe that the sewing machines used to assemble this otherwise fantastic product are not using a "lock-stitch".I no longer have to wear this truss, so the stitching is a mute point. However, someone forced to wear it and wash it for an extended time would do well to either purchase another product or to use a product such as "Aleene's Stop Fraying" to prevent the stitching from coming apart.Hopefully the manufacturer will upgrade the sewing machines being used to assemble this product.Then it will be worthy of a full five stars!

Background: I was urgently in need of a truss to deal with an inguinal hernia on my left side. I was awaiting surgery, and the condition was so bad that if I stood up, my intestine would immediately descend through the hernia. Hedging my bets, I ordered both this item and one from Lumiscope, figuring at least one would work.They both worked, but this one was far superior for my needs. Since it is designed to support a hernia on one side only (i.e., my situation), it is made much less bulky and more comfortable than options designed to treat hernias on both sides. It's comfortable, very adjustable, and -- best of all -- you don't have to remove it to urinate. Also, it tends to stay in proper position better than the Lumiscope model, when sitting and rising repeatedly.Like others have observed, you need to order based on hip size, not waist size. I got this right, and the device fit perfectly.

It is a nice support, but the sizing is way off. I have a 42 inch waist, and I took their word for it and ordered the large. It is supposed to fit up to 42 inches, but the maximum I could see it would be useful for is about 38 inches. I could stretch it about 4 inches and barely get it fastened. However, the elastic is very strong and there is no way I could wear it with that much tension. Also, the pad is poorly positioned due to the wrong waist size. So, I will have to throw it away or send it back.

I purchased this after seeing my doctor (I wasn't aware a product like this was offered).The support this provided allowed me to function and go about my activities almost completely normal. My doctor and I postponed my operation until the height of the pandemic was over. The support this belt provided allowed me to function (perform both at home and work tasks) until my operation could be scheduled.This product also provided recovery support after my operation - another critical issue.Easily washable - I washed it in our washing machine individually (only thing in the washer machine), set to a small wash load using warm water on gentle cycle with gentle detergent with excellent results even though the instructions say to hand wash.Highly recommended without hesitation - a lifer saver if ever there was one.

I've have had an inguinal hernia since mid 2019. I have tried 3 different brands of trusses now, and like this one the best because it is wide, and elastic is firm enough to be secure tightly around me. Am on my second one of these now because because the stitching on the velcro gave out on the first after a few months, but probably to be expected as it gets a lot of stress when taking it off. The pad seems about the right size and easy to position. Basically this truss is well made and feels good.
