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 softness Cons: - 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.
