Alpha Medical8" Elasto-Fit Abdominal Support Binder. L0625 (Large)

I've tried a number of abdominal binders and find this to be the best I've found.I find most binders too wide vertically causing it to roll, too hot in warm weather, too uncomfortable in general. Most I find to be at least somewhat visible under clothing.For me the 8" size is perfect. The material is light weight, VERY breathable, very comfortable even in hot weather, but still works very well giving the required support. The material is so thin it is well hidden under clothes - the best I've found for visibility. I wear it with the "seam" rotated over to my side instead of in front which I think helps hide it.Perfect solution to the problem.

It is lightweight and breathable. Since it is thin, it works nicely under dress shirts. It is rather long; I had a tailor shorten it--only took a few minutes and I was charged very little.

I don't know what they consider large but I wear a size 52 suit jacket and this would have gone around me one and a half times, making it impossible to get a really tight fit. Plus the velcro sticks everywhere and tangles the brace up.

Works well and is discreet under clothing. Sizing is a bit tough, I was right at the cut off per their sizing from the large to extra large. I went with the XL and its long enough to wrap around me almost two times. That much extra length make sit hard to get on tight enough to help with my hernia and not have to pull it so tight it rolls up and feels like it's cutting me in half. I think if there was Velcro facing one side on one end and the other side on other end it would be great. Then I could pull more easily keep the extra length from sliding as I tried to cinch it.

Excellent purchase! Very happy with it. Good quality product at a good price. Washes well and wears well. Much lighter and more breathable than the one from the hospital. Runs a bit big but was able to trim to size with no problem.

Overall this is a good product but I gave it 4 stars because of the velcro closure.The velcro grips really really tightly. That could be a good thing but for us it makes it difficult to get the velcro to release and it also causes the surface, where the velcro grips, to get all fuzzy.I have another brand that works just as good but the velcro doesn't grip as hard and the surface doesn't get torn up.If that is important to you, don't use this product.

I've been searching for a decent post-surgery abdominal binder and have yet to find one - and this isn't it either. Two problems: 1) it cuts and pinches bare skin with every move. Not so bad if you wear it over a layer, but I live in a warm climate and often am wearing only a T-shirt. 2) the velcro is horrible: hard to control and very destructive of the binder itself. Every time you put the binder on or take it off the velcro rips material from the body of the binder. Because of this, the binder won't last long. Not recommended.

I bought it because I was going to have umbilical hernia surgery and wanted something lightweight to wear under my shirt that wasn't bulky. It works fantastic and very comfortable. It's lightweight and comfortable enough to wear against the bare skin.I do recommend this product and the price is very affordable.Try it you'll like it.

I am most satisfied with this product.Easy to use and unobtrusive.My adominal hernia is small and I was pleased that the product easily allowed me to cut some width and depth off.I do intend to order more of this product to allow for washing, etc.

very useful if you have a hernia. It is good for back or abdominal support. Tip is to sew up the velcro to the size you require.
