Everyday Medical Umbilical Hernia Belt - for Men and Women – Abdominal Hernia Binder for Belly Button Navel Hernia Support, Helps Relieve Pain - for Incisional, Epigastric, Ventral, & Inguinal Hernia

I’ve used a dozen core/waste bands over the last year and a half and this band is “hands down the best!!!”The others were either to wide, or to thin, the fastener would not stay attached, they used rubber that made me sweat and cause skin irritation, the material was poor quality and would start wearing and lose form and fit in a short amount of time or were just to uncomfortable to wear for any length of time!This band is sturdy, breaths, the fastener is well made and does not lose it’s hold even when working out or performing other physical tasks and I can wear this over an under garment (tee shirt) and wear a Dress or casual shirt over it tucked in and bloused up slightly and it is not visible. I really like this one and highly recommend it to anyone who needs abdominal/core/Back support.In my opinion there are only (2) Cons:1) The Hernia pad is too rigid and uncomfortable as well as being to deep, causing pain at the sight it is place upon.2) It prints your skin somewhat but I didn’t feel that it was a problem because I wear mine pretty tight!*Those are the only Cons and neither one is a problem. I suggest not using the indent pad. The material is strong and flexible, and in my opinion it’s not necessary.If your on the fence about buying another waist support band for any reason, this one will not disappoint! Like I mentioned earlier I’ve tried quite a few and this by far has been the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing.Good luck! God bless you. Sincerely, -Bruce

Ok, I didn’t get this for a hernia. I got it because I wake up in severe pain, 3-4 times every night, due to a large belly pulling on my back. I don’t need judgmental replies about having a large belly, so please refrain. I have tried other belts and they are impossible to sleep in. This belt is skinny, which is exactly what I needed, and it is soft. There’s nothing that pokes or rubs or scratches against my skin, it stays put when I’m rolling over to my other side at night, and it COMPLETELY took away my lower back pain. I, the forever skeptic, have finally found something that works for me, and I’m genuinely surprised and happy and relieved and even though I hate typing out a review, I felt like I needed to for this product. I wish I could personally thank whoever designed it.

Well looks like I’m gonna give this belt a try. Hopefully it’ll help my umbilical hernia while I exercise. Just wish it was more snug even after pulling on it. But pretty cool.Update:It worked well during my work out. I had to adjust it a few times but it worked. Hernia didn’t hurt during workout. It was comfy.For those who are confused on how to use the belt.The “nipple” hard part of the disk pad goes against your belly button. It keeps the hernia in place if you will.Took me a few times to adjust it but worked just fine.

I think I’ve purchased 5 or 6 different hernia belts with little satisfaction. This one is, by far, the most comfortable and useful one that I have purchased. I have a surgical hernia from a nephrectomy that is higher up on my torso - close to my sternum. And it protrudes quite a bit. My doctor has recommended that I avoid corrective surgery until it becomes absolutely necessary. The belt is just the right width so it doesn’t extend down to my belt line. I can place the pad right over the hernia and it is attached by Velcro to the inside part of the belt. I don’t think I could recommend any changes to make it better for me. This is the belt that I will be wearing. And because it’s more comfortable than the others I will probably be wearing it everyday. This is a winner!

This is a fine product the quality is excellent however when you have an umbilical hernia there is nothing from the outside that will fix it other than sticking your finger in your belly button

The belt itself has a Velcro “bulge” that helps to keep the hernia from protruding. That bulge helps but isn’t nearly enough to actually keep the hernia pushed in. I was suffering from intestinal blockage because of the size of the hernia (2.5” diameter) yet surgery is not an option. I was having to walk around with my finger pushed into the hernia hole so that the intestines could function properly. This belt, coupled with a “plug” that was molded from Polly Plastics moldable plastic provided the solution. The hernia gets pushed back into the abdomen and then the plug is put in place. A cloth is put over where the belt overlap will be (that can get uncomfortable after 24 hours) and then the belt is put on. The belt has enough tension that it holds the plug in place. It is a comfortable support and, short of a hard cough, the hernia stays put. Now I can at least heal from the intestinal blockage issues.The setup is comfortable to wear day and night. It is a very good solution for me until surgery can be had.One of the features of the belt is that it has stiffeners sewn into it in two places which helps to keep it from scrunching up in the back. That greatly helps in keeping the full, comfortable support of the belt after a long day.I was uncertain about the belt size because the waist is 36 but the belly would be about 40. The small/medium belt was chosen and it has worked VERY well. There is enough elasticity in the belt that it could go a bit larger than 40”, but since it takes pressure to hold a hernia in then this belt size proved to be a winner for that purpose.

With a recent Umbilical Hernia this strap gave me great abdominal support before and after my surgery. Easy to put on, holds great, practically invisible under clothing and the take on/off belly button support piece was a welcome addition for my need. Good abdominal support with/without a hernia. Will continue to use. Certainly recommend it.
