ORTONYX 10.25" Abdominal Binder for Men and Women/Postpartum Post-operative Post-surgery Wrap/Abdomen Navel Umbilical Hernia Support Belt / 524010 Beige 3XL Plus Size

Typically, I don’t write reviews (though I do read them and am grateful to the thoughtful people who do write them!). I am so unbelievably pleased with this life-changing product. I have a slew of inflammatory and autoimmune health problems which have fried my autonomic nerves, causing a type of dysautonomia known as POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). I’d tried lower leg and thigh compression with no success and couldn’t find any athletic shorts compressive enough to help with blood flow. Also, I HATE Spanx type garments. Today, I strapped this on as soon as it arrived and took a walk. I was fine for the first time in years. For example, my HR typically jumps to 150 and immediately drops to 35 regularly. With this abdominal binder, my HR remained stable. No alerts from my watch or service dog. No chest pain, no blacking out, no excessive dizziness or lightheadedness or breathlessness, no excessive sweating. And it was 75F out, which is ten degrees too warm for me to even consider stepping outside normally. This wrap is not hot, itchy, scratchy, or uncomfortable, and I have Crohn's Disease so I typically won't even wear jeans. The velcro stayed secure, and this product is nicely supportive and clearly well-designed and well-made. If you suffer from dysautonomia like me and your physician has recommended compression, this is worth a try. For me, it’s helping get my mobility back and significantly reducing my pain, and that's pretty priceless.

Lo que más me sorprendió fue lo firme que es el soporte sin sentir que me estrangula. El material es transpirable y cómodo incluso usando durante el día, la tela no se arruga ni se corre hacia arriba como otras fajas que he probado. El cierre de velcro es muy práctico para ajustarse según la necesidad, permite regular la presión exactamente donde la necesitas. El tamaño S es perfecto para mi contextura, queda bien asegurado en la zona del abdomen y se nota claramente cómo sostiene la hernia, sin esos movimientos incómodos que tenía antes. La calidad de las costuras es excelente, se ve que está hecho para durar.

I like this binder but also have some issues it's good to aware of going in. It's itchy. Make sure to wear a good thick shirt underneath and even then you may still feel the itch. Unfortunately the flexibility that makes it so nice is also a problem. It starts to run up or fold easily so the edges are always losing shape. I work around this by reversing the binder each day and using another binder to alternate with so it can rest for a few days. These are warnings to be aware of not to stay away from it. As I said it works REALLY well at doing what it's supposed to and that's keeping things where they're supposed to be. And for that it works extremely well!

I ordered two of these 10.5-inch belts and, while they fit well and were initially comfortable, they tended to bunch up (below my belly roll) after a short period of repeated standing and sitting. I don't, however, have anything bad to say about them, they appeared to be well-made with strong elastic and firm support.

I had an emergency appendectomy and I bought this to help bind the area after.. I'm not new to these binders. Had one or two from my precious Cesareans. This binder is filmsy as &*^#. It's worthless and does absolutely NOTHING to support the abdomen area. It felt like wearing loose , rough paper around my abdomen. Binders are meant to support the area and help keep everything snug and intact so to prevent you from moving awkwardly or lacking stability in your core muscles due to lack of support. The whole purpose is to hold your abdominal area taught so that there is less pain, less sudden movements and more stability to help you heal. This was considered medical grade? Really should be removed off Amazon or atleast labeled properly because my waist training cinchers provide more support than this. I used it once and took it off immediately because it was painful to wear and lacked support. Don't buy it. I'm usually a pro with these binders/cinchers. It's not even passable as a binder. It literally felt like rough poster board paper.

this item exceeds my expectations in terms of comfort and durability. It is well made and the Velcro closure makes it very easy to adjust to proper size and compression. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Love this one. Due to arthritis, cant tolerate metal stays and this has none. Its long enough to cover from chest to hips, which I need. Good support

Fabric is flimsy and scratchy and there is very little support. I am returning it. I ordered a different one which I have received and like much much better.

Great item.

Great product. Very adjustable. Quite comfortable. Doesn't move or ride up. Gives confidence. Excellent uncomplicated design. Easy to put on and take off.

Buenos materiales se mantiene firme y no eleva la temperatura corporal en si es una faja fresca y se mantiene ajustada.. fácil de lavar.

Wider than most hernia belts on the market which is great and does the required job. Too expensive.

An excellent aid to protecting my ileostomy when I’m lifting or working gives good width and doesn’t roll
