ORTONYX Inguinal Groin Hernia Truss Support Belt Guard Brace- Right Side Beige

The size on this is not what is advertised. Fortunately for me, it works. But that belt is no where near as big as advertised. Other than that, it’s a good product.

I like this truss because it doesn't have a buckle around your groin area it has a strap. Noticed that I had it too tight at first but after I loosened it the fit was perfect. It is comfortable and a great design and not bulky

My hernia, acquired years ago, had finally progressed to the point that my ability to live a normal life of mobility was severely impaired — surgery was now necessary. Merely walking around was becoming impossible. Surgery was scheduled, but there was to be a month-and-a-half delay. I had heard of trusses, but had no real knowledge of them, so I got online and found this one. Not knowing if a truss would really help or not, but at that point being willing to try anything that didn’t sound too goofy, I ordered it. It has been a godsend. While it obviously doesn’t cure the hernia — only surgery will do that — it does a very effective job of containing my intestines within their proper area, which has made it possible for me to resume a great deal of my normal activities. NOTE: the truss as offered has a design defect, which was fairly easy to correct, and I hope the manufacturer will incorporate the correction into future offerings. The nature of the truss is that it applies pressure to your abdomen in order to prevent your intestines from popping out through the torn abdominal membrane. But this pressure is necessarily UP and IN, which tends to push the truss down and off of you, making the truss largely useless and damned irritating to wear as it tries to crawl down your legs. This problem was solved by adding elastic suspenders to the truss, thus letting my shoulders hold the truss in place and maintain pressure on my abdomen. Thank you for a good and well-built product, and with the above-mentioned improvement you will have an unqualified winner.

As soon as I unrolled this hernia support I knew it was going to be a problem. The pad that goes over the hernia is WAY too fat. It bulges out and is not just uncomfortable to wear but is dangerous because it pushes in against the weak tissue around the place where the soft tissue of the intestine is pushing out. And that can easily make the hernia worse. What I wanted was a nice soft, but firm, flat pad to keep the intestine from peeking out but would not stress the tissues around the hernia. And then there's the other thing. For some strange reason they put the break in the belt so the velcro is right smack in the middle of the back. It's kind of a yoga exercise to get it adjusted and placed exactly right with both hands behind your back. Actually, after ordering this support my wonderful wife made one and the one she made has a flat fuzzy pad and the velcro belt fastens in the front of the right hip. Easy to put on, comfortable, and it works a treat. When the ORTONYX Inguinal Groin Hernia Truss Support Belt - Left Beige arrived from Amazon I was really disappointed. My wife is going to remove the bulging pad and replace it with a nice flat one for me. And I'll just have to get her to adjust it just right and fasten it for me. Then I can remove it and keep the belt fastened in that spot.

Gave my husband a rash. Threads looked terribly worn after only two weeks. Not really “one size fits all” and strap was too short. Would NOT buy again.

Of course you've read that inguinal hernias require surgery. Why, well no good explanation so I pushed on alone in my quest to heal myself. I have continued my normal lifestyle, lifting weights although a bit lighter, hiking, cycling and motorcycle riding. I work in the yard trimming trees and pushing a wheelbarrow around.First off, this is the 3rd brand of belt purchased. The first was to wide and the pad was not designed properly (really bad and made matters worse). The 2nd belt bought months later was a big leap forward but the (new and Improved) Velcro kept coming loose. Then you must pull your pants down and re-attach the end(s). Both those designs allowed a slight bulge under those soft pads while the pads were tightly fitted and in place. Well in my option, if a bulge is allowed then it's not going to heal. I wasted 6 months on a learning curve.I purchased this belt and it has allowed a lot of healing to occur. The pad is really well designed, firm and low profile so it's not noticeable. This belt is user fitment according to you waist and groin requirements then you step into the belt. It's a lot easier and faster and gives a more consistent redaction result.So after getting the redaction under control so no bulges, it was time to focus on any special nutritional needs. Guess what the 1 thing I wasn't taking... collagen (I'm 69 years old). Research that and you'll find nothing gets repaired without collagen. Something like 40% of the protein in your body is collagen of 1 type or another. Bought mind on Amazon, starting taking 30-40 grams a day (some of that is gelatin, not Jello). Improvement, YES, no more bulging when I cough, laugh, fart, pee or stretch but this is after 3 months of collagen. I cycle 16 miles up a canyon with my belt on without a bulge. Used to bulge under the pad with the other 2 belts.Presently, my hernia is not healed completely but it has improved greatly. I can go half a day without a bulge and without wearing a belt. It's going to be a few more months, hernias take a long time to heal but I'm confident now after 9 months it will heal. To bad so little information is available online. I wasted a lot of time figuring this out, hope it is of benefit to others.

Fits well, comfortable does what it is supposed to do. Video explains how to put it on and wear it.

The belt isn't one size fits all...if you have waist of over 40 inches this belt won't fit you...and it connects at the tailbone...which if you don't have the strength is hard to stretch to achieve a good fit or removing the belt...I'm using it till I get a different make that is to my size...I'm using it with about 1 to 2 inches of velcro connected which also leaves about 4 inches of scratchy velcro rubbing your back...so there are numerous problems with this belt...
