Best Hernia Belts

Even after you’ve had surgical intervention to fix your hernia, the pain brought on by the ailment tends to remain for a while, causing unnecessary stress and disrupting the usual way of life. Thankfully, you don’t have to bear the pain as an umbilical hernia belt like the FlexaMed H&PC-04313 can become your everyday helper.

This soft yet firm truss wraps around your stomach, covering 6 inches of your body in width. That number is not enough to make the binder noticeable under clothes but it’s just right to keep it from sliding off even if you go for a jog or move around a lot.

Speaking of which, the main feature of all anti-hernia bandages is their pad, the very part that provides comforting softness and reduces pressure on the afflicted area. The FlexaMed H&PC-04313 has its foam pad hidden away in a special pocket to prevent it from falling out or moving while you walk. It’s still quite easy to take out if you need to wash it or replace it with a different kind of pad, a softer or firmer one, for example.

We also love the simple and effective design of the FlexaMed H&PC-04313 and its pure white color. However, there are two sides to every coin and we have to concede that this choice of color means that you’ll have to clean the truss regularly if you want it to look good. Still, that’s the sole design flaw we could find as the binder comes in a variety of sizes, fitting neatly over a flat stomach as well as a paunch, all thanks to the stretchy polyester it’s made of.

To sum up, the FlexaMed H&PC-04313 is a truly high-quality medical truss designed to help both men and women deal with the aftereffects of abdominal or umbilical hernias. Take good care of this binder and it will take care of you just as well!

Has your doctor advised you to wear a special hernia support truss to speed up your recovery and prevent further incidents? If he or she did, you’ve come to the right page because the UFEELGOOD 353A-black-3 will provide firm yet comfortable support in the stomach area, helping you deal with the aftereffects of hernias.

This 8-inch binder widens directly on the stomach and back since those are the areas that require most support. The sides, however, are made a bit narrower to ensure that your movements aren’t restricted by the truss.

As for softness, we do have to say that the UFEELGOOD 353A-black-3 is on the stiffer side of things, especially due to the 7 rib stiffeners designed to keep the belt in place. Of course, the foam pad in this model is still quite soft and comfortable but it’s definitely not the kind of truss you could wear all day long. The latex outer layer isn’t all that breathable and we recommend putting on the binder before you have to do physically taxing work or any similar activities that may cause your hernias to flare up. It is, however, pretty much invisible under clothes so you can wear it outside without worrying about someone spotting the truss.

So if it’s firm support that you’re seeking, the UFEELGOOD 353A-black-3 is a great choice. Since it comes in XS and S sizes, it seems like the perfect hernia belt for women or leaner men. But regardless of your gender, this binder will help relieve the tension in your stomach and back and keep the pain at bay.

Not every surgical involvement goes smoothly and even if a skilled doctor has helped you with your hernia, it makes sense to spend some time recuperating. But your body is particularly vulnerable during that process so any medicinal treatments you get have to be hygienic and protect your immune system, and the OTC 2955 seems like a good choice.

This binder is made out of a special anti-microbial polyester blend to ensure that it’s completely hygienic. Thanks to that, the OTC 2955 stops infections and inflammation, which are known to happen after hernias. The choice of material is also smart as the polyester stretches well to fit over your stomach without pressing down on it, covering the afflicted areas with a foam pad. It’s held up by velcro straps and 2 rib stiffeners situated on the sides of the truss. We do have to say that the straps seem to lose some of their adhesive properties over time, likely due to the weight of the binder itself, but it’s not like you’ll be wearing this belt for years.

In addition to being made with hygiene and post-hernia care in mind, the OTC 2955 is also designed to fit people of any sex and stature, coming in sizes from XS to XXL. It will hug your back and sides firmly but without any excess pressure, providing support and comfort to the abdominal area. A good choice for recovering patients, even if it is indeed temporary.

A patient recuperating after an ailment as serious as abdominal or umbilical hernias needs comfort and support first and foremost and all good trusses are designed with that in mind. Even still, the NYOrtho Abdominal Binder boasts a higher than usual level of softness that ensures the wearer’s content and happy.

While most models feature a foam or silicone pad tasked with providing support and comfort, the whole of the NYOrtho truss serves as the soft pad instead. Its inside has a soft coating that keeps the binder from chafing your skin even if worn for hours. The material is intended to be breathable and never to hug the body too tightly.

Thanks to the special 3-panel design, this truss can be used for more than hernias, as doctors even recommend it for pregnant women and any patients that have undergone surgeries in the abdominal area.

Sadly, this focus on comfort and support does come at the expense of looks and the bulky binder is easy to spot under clothes. You could opt for a 6-inch model instead of the standard 9-inch one but the NYOrtho will still be easier to see than the regular belts. However, a few self-conscious days of getting used to the truss are worth the medicinal pain relief provided by this reliable binder. It may not be the absolute best hernia belt out there but it comes in a variety of sizes, provides unrivaled comfort, and works well for those with health problems not limited to hernias. Don’t let minor design issues deter you from a great purchase.

It’s not exactly a secret that many hernia support binders are designed in a way that also makes them useful for female patients that are carrying a child or patients of any gender that have undergone stomach or back surgery. However, few of these models seem as tailor-made for pregnant women as the BraceAbility belt.

This truss has a silicone pad inserted into it, shaped to have a small bump that provides support while leaving space for the wearer’s stomach to fit comfortably. That way the BraceAbility ensures that your umbilical area is comforted gently yet firmly, preventing any excess pressure. It’s a useful tool for pregnant women as much as it is a preventive measure for those with hernias.

Any object that comes in contact with a patient recovering from a hernia needs to be free of microbes and completely hygienic so the BraceAbility binder comes with replaceable casings that can be cleaned to guarantee they stay fully hygienic.

One of the few faults found in this model is its width. While the five-inch truss does tend to rest comfortably on most people, it may slide a bit on some wearers, causing discomfort and losing some of its supportive properties. Still, the combination of spandex and nylon that the belt is made of guarantees that the majority of users will find it fitting well.

While the BraceAbility may not be the best choice for some due to its modest width, it still provides good support and will no doubt be helpful to those suffering from hernias. It will also be useful to female wearers that are expecting a child, all thanks to the soft silicone bump providing comfort to the belly.
