FlexaMedRight Side Inguinal Hernia Groin Belt Beige (L 38-42)

Let’s start with the obvious. This isn’t as comfortable as a pair of silk boxers. But, given what it is, it is comfortable enough to wear all day. I wear it over my underwear and under my clothes. That works for me. I had to learn to not get the leg strap too tight. That caused some chaffing, but once I loosened the leg strap just a bit, it was fine. It does what it is supposed to do. I can walk, and even do moderate exercise, while wearing this without pain. One word on ordering: I ordered a medium and it worked for me. However, be sure you measure you HIP size, not your waist size, because the large belt goes around your hips. Once you have it fitted for you, getting this on and taking it off is an easy process. For the comfort it brings, I am very glad to have it.

For the most part, the product was so-so. When it arrived, I bent down to pick up the package off the ground. I know you can't judge the book by its cover,and that dynamite comes in small packages. It arrived in a little, flimsy, beautifully illustrated extremely thin cardboard box approx. 6"x6"x2" thick that has a very high gloss finish to it. Along with instructions clearly printed on the backside of the box; that hardly weighs anything. My first impression was, I got ripped off! But like I said, you can't judge the book by its cover. Upon opening it, (though it hardly weighed anything), to be honest with you, it is of quality. Upon trying it on ("without") connecting the strap, it felt good; and it really did help with the hernia that was protruding and it did help with the pain, and discomfort. But to be honest with you, I purchased this item because Amazon rated it as their choice though it only had a little over 1700 likes. I may end up purchasing another one soon from another brand/Company that has a little bit over 5800 likes that's also rated #1 which I think may be better. The only, only, reason why I wasn't 100% totally satisfied with this particular item, was, because it's poorly designed. Perhaps it's because it's designed too close to the competition;for US patent purposes. My version of the belt is designed for having a hernia on my right hand side.The strap that comes with it is unlike the competitions it starts below the triangle piece in the front, and goes through your legs and come out the back end and could only be attached in an awkward uncomfortable way on the belt on the right hand side of the belt through a loop and attaches with velcro. But the problem is: that the velcro piece that attaches the velcro together, is inside the of the belts loop. that you slip it through, the velcro piece that you need is sewn on the opposite side; therefore, it becomes twisted instead of laying flat. It's extremely uncomfortable because the strap is twisted. Unlike the competition where it starts from the back of the belt goes through your legs in the front,and attaches to a little clip/buckle in the front which allows you to tighten it should you need to. You can't do this with the one that I have; it's the opposite. And not only is it the opposite, it doesn't come with a clip/buckle so that you can tighten it and attach it to. The strap is uncomfortable to wear because It could only be worn twisted.This was not explained prior to me purchasing it. I don't know if this is a defected one that they wanted to hurry up and get rid of it as soon as possible.Otherwise, I would have given it 10 Stars

It does offer good support and makes a difference. My hip measurement is 31 so i went up to the next size as recommended but i definitely need a small, which i ordered. I do have skinny legs. The mediums still helps though.

After 2 previous tries, I finally got a belt that would fit around my husband. Still, I had to order an extra large, and I barely just fit. He’s a 42.

I first got a inguinal hernia in the mid 1970’s. For whatever the reason back then, just rested and it went away. I had forgotten about it, and in the 1980’s had a very physical job with lots of exertion. No hernia or sign of it. Then starting in the latter 80’s, started going to the gym and used free weights on regular basis for decades. No issues with hernia until 2022 when it reappeared out of nowhere. Then I remembered I had it way back when. It isn’t a very large bulge, and doesn’t hurt. Doctor said not to worry unless something changes. I asked about a truss and he said I could try one. Wanted to get the Uriel as I read great things about it. But not available in my size. Somewhere along the way clicking and reading saw something about the Flexamed being a newer version of - I believe - the Uriel. At any rate, purchased a small and medium. The small is the one I use the most. I’m small…33” measurement around hips. But the medium also works for me. After finally figuring out the leg strap (bring it under and then straight up through the belt/truss…works very well. It’s comfortable..well..considering..but seems to work keeping things in place. I still work out and cycle and do yoga and other exercise regularly.. Sometimes I use this during workouts, sometimes not. Rarely if ever sleep with it on. Would still like to compare to the Uriel if it’s ever available again. But would recommend giving this one a go. There are others that look good too, but some have a very large pad which I don’t think would work well for me. The pad on this is just enough to put ample pressure where needed.

You can wear it for hours without any uncomfortable scratching

No, just no. Not for me. Much better out there, possibly for a little more money. Whatever you’re wearing must be moderately comfortable in order to endure. No, just no.

My grandpa said this device helped him tremendously in the post surgery.

I discovered to have inguinal hernia in March, 2019. The hernia protruded about 1/3 the size of an egg with no pain. I bought a Flexamed belt which was comfortable. Subsequently I bought a second belt also.Meanwhile I found a site called The hernia bible which has a wealth of information on healing with surgery or natural exercises. I followed the food suggestions and also practised the prescribed exercises for about one hour daily.With the belt on, I could play badminton normally.By October, 2019, the hernia essentially disappeared and appeared to be back to normal.Today I still put the belt on as a precaution while there is no real need.I consider the hernia healed without surgery. I thank God for this gift.Please investigate further for your own benefits if you suffer from a hernia. The exercises worked well for me.Best of luck.

As advertised.thanks

Je le porte depuis 6 semaines et le résultat est très bon. Il faut prendre le temps de bien l'installer (cela peut prendre un peu de temps avant d'y arriver). Semble dispendieux mais le résultat est là

It looked like a good quality product. Probably could jump out of a plane it would still work. Sadly wrong size and sent it back. I should of ordered it larger

works like it says, does what you think. There are a lot of comments about fit, comfort, size of pad, shape of pad. We are not all cut from the same cloth. With a couple of tiny tweaks, cutting a new pad of softer pad material, thicker and one thinner to adjust the tension, so forth. I think it works great. I could not hope to find a similar product around the city. Unbelievable comfort, I forget I have it on. Most important, after only 3 or so weeks, I can feel even the slightest progress towards not needing this belt. Highly recommend.
