BraceAbility Umbilical Hernia Belt for Women - Abdominal Binder Stomach Truss with Compression Pad for Belly Button, Navel, Ventral, Epigastric, Hiatal Hernia Relief Surgery Support Brace (S/M 5")

This item is very good and comfortable. I like that it is not too wide. It is very comfortable. There are stays to keep it from rolling down and they work very well. It rolls down a little, bit not very much at all. I am a 38 waist. If you are any bigger, I would get a large. The Velcro part is a bit itchy where it doesn’t overlap, due to my waist size being right at the brink of small to large. I simply put a small piece on of cloth under that exposed Velcro area and it doesn’t itch. I feel like this protects and keeps my abdominal hernia from pushing out.

I hadn't realized how uncomfortable I was until I wore this. I feel so much better and it's very comfortable to wear. Thin enough to wear under clothes. Not bulky at all. Edit: 1st week wearing this all day long at work, (bending ,stretching, lifting), so impressed! Very comfortable, I forget l even have it on! Makes me feel so much better. Great product. Very easy to put on.

Quality product, but just not able to get it as tight as I’d like to.

Ordered a S/M and it’s definitely a S!!Well made; not overly wideDirections say the removable pad can be hooked on Velcro but only the pad itself has Velcro, the area of the belt instructions say to attach it to, has NO Velcro.The S/M is made for 28-32 inch waist.They need to either make a medium to fit 32-36 inch waist or make the S/M larger.Comfortable & no rough edges to irritate your waist.

Purchased on March17, 2023.I really like that it pushed my umbilical hernia back into place because the hernia was beginning to hurt me and was coming out And I thought I would have to go to the emergency room.. I ordered this and it came overnight and it put the hernia back into place and my fear went away. What I don’t like is that it is very scratchy and itchy. I had to stuff paper underneath it to keep from breaking out in an itchy irritated rash. Also the edges are very strong and they press into the body and that hurts after a while. if only they could sell a separate wrap to wrap around yourself that has an opening for the umbilical circular pad, that you could wear underneath this thing. I really like it because it protected my hernia from progressing into a worse situation that was scaring me. But I didn’t like the discomfort of the scratching, The poking, and itching. So I give it 100% approval for helping me, but I give it a 50% disapproval for irritating my skin. Sorry. i’m both grateful and ungrateful, but if you want your umbilical hernia to go back into place and you can tolerate some discomfort, then get this one. Just know it’s kind of rough material.Update April 7, 2023.I have to give up on this hernia belt. I wear it over clothing to try and avoid the itching. But it causes unbelievable itching even though it’s over a T-shirt. And the itching continues on for a day or two. My skin is severely irritated Maybe a weightlifting belt might be a better option.

Great product

Zero stars. Poor stitching along with plastic means that it pokes you terribly when you sit down. Very uncomfortable. Not well-made. Corners are not capped.

I have an hiatal hernia. This belt was effective in keeping my stomach flat and gave me confidence while exercising. It was easy to position the pad over the hernia. The Velcro fastening works extremely well and it is easy to make the belt snug or tight. I have an extremely short waist so had to take out the stays so that the belt could fold over to fit properly but that did not interfere with the effectiveness of the product. I did have to use a thin cloth under the place where the Velcro fastens to prevent the Velcro from scratching my skin but that was no problem at all. The cost of this belt is reasonable compared to its competitors. Very happy with this purchase!
