VELPEAU Hernia Belt for Men & Women - Bilateral/Double Inguinal, Groin Hernia Support Truss Underwear Briefs, Pain Relief Recovery Adjustable Strap with 2 Removable Medical Compression Pads (Black, L)

Honestly, I purchased one of these at a thrift store a few years back and have LOVED it! So I purchased a NEW VELPEAU (Black Medium) Hernia Belt from AMAZON! These are AMAZING! The FIT is perfect, and the SIZE and QUALITY match the description! The Velcro holds up to EVERYDAY USE! I wear it PLAYING PICKLEBALL and for DAILY USE! What a GAME-CHANGER for me because my doctor wants to hold off on surgery as long as possible due to a previous, prostate cancer surgery. With the VELPEAU HERNIA BELT my pain and discomfort VANISH! I simply wash it in the shower and hang-dry it. It dries quickly overnight! I prefer wearing it OVER my underwear to avoid chafing, and for added security while playing pickleball, I also wear a jock-strap over it. If you need a hernia belt, this is THE BRAND to get!

This is an excellent product! It works as advertised. The support it provides is fantastic, and it’s thin enough not to show clothing. It’s adjustability has allowed me to get the perfect fit to relieve the pain.

I’ll start off by saying I know nothing about hernias. This is my second. The first was an abdominal one. Fixed with no issues. This one however is in my groin. I’m really not liking it at all. I wasn’t sure what to look for in a support or what to avoid. I don’t know if I was lucky or if all the supports are like this but it’s helping. It’s still uncomfortable but this brace is some help. It came with 4 removable pads to apply pressure at a specific point. I’m glad they are removable. It was very uncomfortable and a bit painful with the left pad in place. I only needed the pressure on the left as that’s where my hernia is. It got to the point that it seemed to be more painful with this brace than without. I removed the pad and it helped a lot with the pain. The thickness and support without the pad seems to help and not hurt me. Still uncomfortable but the surgery should fix that once it happens. What I’m saying is you will need to adjust the brace to your needs. See if the pads help or not. In my case no extra support from the pad is needed. You may be different. Next is the straps. They are thick and padded. A bit too thick to be really comfortable but for the tension that is needed thinner would be worse. I’ve tried crossing them and not as an old jock strap is. Neither way is better. It just depends on the day I guess. I have my appointment with the surgeon in about a week. Not looking forward to this but at the same time I need this fixed. I hope my explanation helps with your concern and choice. If you are needing one I feel your pain and hope for a fast recovery. I’d give 5 starts if it wasn’t for the feel of the straps but I don’t see how that can be fixed nor do I want to have to use one of these braces long enough for it to be fixed or changed. Good luck guys.

My surgeon didn't even seem to know about these belts. But, I can tell you, waiting 60 days for my surgery date was a breeze with this belt - like not having a hernia at all. Was also extremely helpful for the first 7-10 days of recovery.

It does fit under clothing and isn't bulky (unless you add the extra pads that come with it). However, it is a bit scratchy if worn under clothing over underwear. It also BARELY fits according to their measurements. The band that goes around the hips fit with only about 1 inch of material overlapped when closed, and it felt tight. This garment of course is designed to fit snugly but too tight it can cause pain. If you want to be able to wear it over clothing the size chart is not helpful or you might want to go up a size (or two?) Be forewarned that they don't allow returns if it doesn't fit or for any reason even if you didn't try it on.Would try the next size up but am worried the straps that wrap under the pelvis might be too long, so am gonna go with a company that allows returns!

Go this for my single hernia on one side of my lower abdomen. I returned a more expensive one & actually prefer this one, it does exactly what I need it to do!!!

My dad has been using this for a few months as his hernia is really small and we are trying to stretch his time before surgery is needed! He is not bothered by it, wears it all day. It dries quickly when washed. My dad recommends 100%

This one is the best one I have found, is it perfect? No, but the key thing is to learn how to wear it and wear exactly to place the pads for your needs, I cut the 2 straps that go around your legs and shortened them because they were too long for me, throughout the work day it does slide down a bit but thats probably due to my flat backside, it is durable, it does help me, though its not a cure but I'm hoping it prevents my hernia from getting worse.
