Umbilical Hernia Belt for men & women. Abdominal Binder - compression pad for naval (double thickness). Hernia support belt: ventral, incisional, epigastric, belly button hernias. Prevention aid (S/M)

I fell and injured my lower back. I am wearing this belt as I write this review. The belt reduces the muscle pain by 80-90% as the injury heals. The product offers great value for the money and is very highly recommended.

This works great for me, and I’ve purchased two to be able to wash one after a few workouts and have one to wear.I found it difficult to put on, until the lightbulb came on and I moved the umbilical pad to the same side as the plastic logo, and behind the loop side of the loop/pile fastener. Now I just position the pad over my belly button and fasten the belt in front. This turns the scratchy loop fastener away from my tummy, and makes it super easy to put on. The plastic logo rests against my back, but I don’t feel it at all. Additionally, since the loop/pile fastener is doubled up over my stomach, I get more support over my belly button.See my attached pictures. Changing the way I wear this has made a good product great.

I find that the elastic expands too much and provides very little support.

Worked till surgery could be had

Well made- soft, comfortable, Velcro holds and doesn't scratch skin like some. However, would like it to be tighter but I'm already using the S/M size. Liked it and went to look for a smaller size and realized I already got the smallest. Probably won't be tight enough as-is for someone in better shape. I'm probably going to look for another pad to insert on top of the one already included to apply more pressure to the spot. Overall though, much better than the last other brand one I tried that Velcro would scratch over the sides, make a lot of Velcro ripping sounds when exercising, and just not stay closed. But disappointed but will probably continue to look for a perfect one for meUPDATE: After about a month or 2, stitching starting to come apart, and fraying edges are a little spiny and sticking my stomach. Still using for lack of finding a better one yet, but has to flip it around because it the "fishbones" sticking into my stomach. Someone doing more strenuous exercise than me would get even less time out of this probably. I'm just doing a little yoga and wearing it all day at a desk. Knocking my prior rating down to 3 stars because it's still more compact, supportive, and comfortable (when not poking me) than others, but it's falling apart and at some point will have to get another or find alternative.

Easy to use, worked really well to prevent pain, very comfortable , stretches over a good range for a good fit

Perfect

The pad smells like a cross between urine and fish, the belt smells a little like fish. Putting it on without help is very difficult because you have to line the ends up perfectly or the overhanging edges are like heavy sandpaper against your skin.
