ORTONYX Umbilical Hernia Belt for Men and Women - Abdominal Support Binder with Compression Pad - Navel Ventral Epigastric Incisional and Belly Button Hernias Surgery Prevention Aid (Large-XXL)

I just had a portion of my colon removed and this product made it possible to move around soooo much easier afterwards. I wore it while I was recovering in the hospital, and ever since I got home. I anticipate needing it for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery. Simple abdominal movements cause discomfort. This keeps tissue from pulling & makes sitting up, coughing & turning so much easier. Doctors don’t like prescribing opioids very much & this great invention helps to get by with minimal amounts.Im 5’6”, and the width is perfect. I’d probably go with a wider band if I was >6’ and most of my abdomen needed supported.

Put it on rotated some. I was also challenged putting it on, thinking the S/M was too small for my 32 inch waist. I just realized easy to put on with pad at your side, fasten the Velcro, then tuck in tummy and rotate it. Works great. Helped me enormously recently on a long drive and then long steep hike in the mountains. I have umbilical hernia, and not yet ready for surgery.

I have this particular belt and I found it to be well made, the Velcro had good holding power and unlike other designs it did not bind and bulge under my clothing. I have always hated that with other brands. This belt will stay where you place it and that is a definite plus. The material is breaths better than any other belt I have tried which keeps you from sweating. Easily washable (place in wash alone due to the Velcro) and you won't have any issues. I would not dry this on anything other than a cool setting. I give this belt 4.5 stars (I would highly recommend this product line)

Been wearing this for a few weeks now. Seems to keep Mr. Hernia in check and is comfortable. Ordering two more since I'm in construction in the humid south, and will be rotating then to keep them fresh and clean.

Honestly, I was disappointed with this product. It has Velcro strips in it, but when you wrap it around you, if your size is in-between the Velco strips, then, you either have to stretch it tighter to reach the closest Velco strip or loosen it to the last Velco strip. I will say this, it is made well and stretches good, but I'm an "in-between" size and can't use it.

Works well, helps with support so less pain.

Excellent support with adjustable central compression

This thing is all bad, nothing good I can say about it. I'm one week in to hernery surgery repair and I have to wear a compression belt for for a minimum of 2 weeks. I was hoping to find something more comfortable but this is NOT IT!!! I'll note on the issue I had with it.* The attachment is centered on you spine which is not possible to do after surgery.* Elastic fabric is very stiff and harsh on the skin, if you wear it for the day you will have a imprint of the fabric in you skin for several hours.* There are 3 attachment points so its limited in adjustment.* over all pain relieve it add more pain and your better off with what the hospital gave you.* The silicon attachment that goes on your belly is required otherwise you have to put a cloth in there to cover the spiky Velcro I think they put the fussy and spiky stuff on the wrong sides.
