TenbonHernia Belt Truss for Men and Women Left or Right Side Supportive Groin Pain with Removable Compression Pads for Pref or Post-Surgical Scrotal, Femoral, Comfortable Adjustable Waist Strap Guard

-After having had to delay surgery and experiencing pain around the "bulge' I tried this. First! I did not use the "hockey puck" like filler in the pocket, but made my own from firm yet flexible cotton material and much thinner. Was all I needed. Second problem, which persists, is getting the velcro on the straps precisely aligned so the velcro does not stick out from the edge of the mating strap for two reason: any protruding hooks are very hard on bare skin and two, they hook my cotton shorts when I remove them and can undo the belt. If the hook part of the belt was slightly narrower it would help. the latter is a nuisance only.I ordered a second and found that they can be washed with a regular laundry load if the hooks are firmly engaged to a nearby part of the belt.The strap under the leg is the hardest part to make comfortable, but not really a problem. I just need a one side support so that is what my review is for.. Recommended as written.

This belt is easy to put on (Velcro) and easy to position and adjust as needed. Just note that the belt is worn over the hips, not the waist, so plan sizing accordingly. Totally satisfied after wearing it for 2 weeks.

The product is good for the amount of time it lasts before it no longer adheres to itself.

I originally bought the XL size because I am right at the L/XL size boundary. I had to wrap the belt halfway around my waste but fortunately the Velcro extends that far. On the other hand, there is insufficient Velcro on the crotch strap so it stays loose. I will shortly try the L size.ButMost important, the belt definitely helped minimize or eliminate inguinal pain. I am fairly active and tried busy days with and without the belt. Without the belt I developed pain and a hot feeling by the afternoon. With the belt, zero pain. The belt is somewhat tight around the waist, and although the pad pressure was less than I thought I needed, it was evidently adequate to do the job.I have no idea if this device will slow further deterioration, but in the short term it is very effective to stop the pain and other symptoms of my “small” hernia.Update: I just had my hernia repaired, so I can say goodbye to the belt! The surgeon said NO when I asked if I should wear it after surgery. In my case, the hernia seemed to get gradually worse over time, so by the time I went under the knife, I was more than ready. The moral of my story is: find a good surgeon and get scheduled before it's urgent! That can take time and you really don't want a crisis. Hernias don't heal so your choice is sooner or later.

Very comfortable to wear.
