It helps reduce inguinal hernias and relieve pain: cushions are used to apply pressure to the left, right or both sides, depending on the location of the hernia. Gentle, step-by-step pressure provides support for bilateral hernias. Designed specifically for men, this hernia belt is made to relieve hernia pain and aid in the treatment process. Different from men's hernia briefs, this is a great solution to heal left hernias, right hernias, or hernias on both sides. It is very adjustable because there are Velcro on both sides, one on each side, with two pads to press and hold in place. The pad is removable, so if you want to remove it from a side other than the hernia. Using a 4" inch Velcro on one side and a 6" inch Velcro on the other side improves adjustability and comfort. The strap can be easily adjusted to the desired length by closing the hook and loop. This removable pad can easily apply direct pressure to the hernia site. It is comfortable enough under clothes and for long periods of wear. This is not a permanent solution, but it can go a long way in dealing with pain. This belt provides enough pressure to relieve congenital hernias. It is made of great quality material and is very durable.
