Umbilical Hernia Belt for Men and Women / 6.25" Abdominal Binder With Hernia Support Pad/Post-Surgical Belly Band - Black OX5241-S/M

Really helps when lifting heavy items. It is well made and the large fits my 33 “ waist well.

Wonderful works great for hernias great support.highly recommend.

So, straight out of the box, the first thing to record is that the instructions make no mention of its suitability to control umbilical hernias - meaning of course that it is NOT designed to be a solution for them. Thus, 'Buyer beware' - this is not a miracle 'cure' for umbilical hernias, and technically speaking, it's not even designed with the intent to provide relief from one.This said and being one who bought the product on the basis of the description, I offer this as a glimmer of comfort for those looking for something that would at least defer the inevitable operation/procedure to correct the hernia - inevitable because once over the age of fifty or so, your body simply isn't going to repair itself.The pad has a raised dimple which is obviously made to be placed over the belly button. It's not a firm 'dimple' but it does maintain shape when applied. The band itself is quite strong but not rigid enough to make it hard to breathe through your stomach - this is a good thing!The pad is fixed to the band simply by Velcro so can be adjusted easily to suit. The band does take quite a bit of strength to wrap securely around the belly and you are therefore likely to find yourself adjusting it and fiddling around to get it just right.Once secured, the band is comfortable to the skin (any scratching comes from the Velcro that is exposed and not mated to the band.) It also doesn't show up under clothing.DOES IT WORK? Well, to a degree, yes. I have only a small umbilical hernia (less than 2cm) that does go back when gently pressed, so in my case the pressure from the pad does the job for me. In my job I spend several hours walking around a store and (typically) moving and lifting boxes of wine. After six hours today, the band was still comfortable, and the hernia remained under control - although I cannot stress the importance of lifting correctly for, I have little doubt the band will not restrain a hernia if you lift using your stomach muscles! Oddly enough, and perhaps a rescued 'star' rating as a result, is the fact that the presence of the band seems to remind the brain to make sure you don't 'slouch' when seated or walk with round shoulders - so, for posture correction, the band is actually rather good!It's early days yet, but I am hopeful that with careful management on my part, and by the support this band does provide, I can avoid the operation/procedure - something which, I am reliably informed by a medic, isn't always a permanent solution in itself anyhow.

This is so much better than the cheap surgical binder I received at the hospital. Stays in place, no rolling, bunching, etc. It is comfortable and easy to apply and remove. I am using post surgery, so can not speak to use prior to surgery, but I highly recommend this product.

It didn't work for me; it keeps bunching up every time I move.

The Ortonyx Umbilical Hernia Belt is a solid support option if you’re dealing with an umbilical hernia and want something comfortable for everyday wear.Right out of the box, the belt feels well made—the material is soft against the skin but firm enough to provide noticeable support. It’s adjustable, so you can tighten it or loosen it as needed throughout the day, which is great for finding the right balance between comfort and compression. I appreciate that it’s low‑profile, too; it doesn’t bunch up under clothing or feel bulky, so wearing it while running errands or at work isn’t uncomfortable.Functionally, it does what it’s supposed to do: it helps reduce discomfort around the hernia area and gives a sense of stability that can make daily activities easier. The design stays in place reasonably well, and the straps are easy to adjust without feeling like they’ll slip during movement.One thing to note is that, like most belts of this type, it’s not a substitute for medical treatment or surgery. It’s best used as a temporary support or while you’re waiting for your doctor’s guidance. Also, if you have sensitive skin, you might want to wear a thin layer underneath, as the belt can feel a little snug after hours of wear.Overall, the Ortonyx Umbilical Hernia Belt is comfortable, adjustable, and effective at providing gentle support. It’s a practical choice if you’re looking to manage daily discomfort and stay active with less irritation.

I have another abdominal hernia girdle, in white color, which I bought from a medical supply gear, and i paid about 15 USD more than this one. The white color is very visible worn under some clothing, and gets easily stained when worn on top of other clothing. So I was looking for a black one.I decided to give this one a try.I usually wear under my clothes when I am not at home, directly on my skin. They both make me sweat a lot, like, dripping. so they both need to be washed daily or at least every other day. This is why i bought a secon one.Like some other reviews recommend, you can use a cotton shirt underneath, and another top to cover it, but I live in South Florida, and it's too hot to wear double clothing in addition to this.Comparing to the first one I have, "more professional ", this has:Pros:- competitive price- color goes with any clothing color and doesn't get stained as easily as the white color- lightweight- good support yet softnessCons:- it doesn't have anything to support it on the sides, so it easily rolls up.- the velcro area is as wide as the back where it attaches, and it rolls out (see pictures) so it ruins fabrics. It should be smaller, to prevent the scratchy side to rub on skin or clothing. It has already ruined lots of clothes.- the silicon disc that pushes the hernia is cheaper and less pointed, the cover cannot be removed. But it still does it job well, keeping the hernia in place.If the seller whom I bought the first one had black ones, I would probably have purchased that one instead of this. The support on the back and the velcro issues are the reasons. I am really annoyed now...6 months later: this is really useless. I have used it very little since my initial review, and the velcro no longer stays on. It keeps opening constantly.The other one I have, "the white one" went by mistake in the dryer and I thought I had ruined it. It was a little curled up but it still works has a strong grip.If you need to use this hernia girdle for a long time, more than two or three months, I would recommend to get a more professional one.

Worked great for pressure in the abdomen during bronchitis coughing fits
