How to Store Your Hernia Belt for Maximum Longevity
If you're using the Comfort-Truss Hernia Belt to stay active and manage your hernia, you already know how important it is to get the most out of your gear. But did you know there's a simple way to store your belt that can actually make it last a lot longer?
In this quick guide, I’ll show you how to properly store your belt so the Velcro stays in good shape and the belt keeps doing its job over time.
Why Storage Matters
The Comfort-Truss Minimalist belt uses a molded plastic hook Velcro. Over time, if those hooks are left unattached or not pressed down firmly, they can start to curl at the edges. Once that happens, the Velcro won’t grip as well, and the belt won’t feel as secure.
Luckily, there’s a simple way to prevent that.
Step-by-Step: How to Store the Belt Correctly
-
Take the belt off like you normally would.
No rocket science here, just remove the belt after you're done wearing it. -
Stick the Velcro from the waist strap back onto itself.
Press it down firmly and make sure all edges are secured. Don’t just slap it together—take a second to push the Velcro down tight all the way around the edge. -
Now do the same with the leg strap.
Attach the leg strap Velcro right on top of the waist strap Velcro. Again, press everything down snug so it lays flat. -
Store it flat or folded.
Once everything is secured, you can fold the belt up and put it in a drawer, bag, or wherever you normally keep it. Just make sure the Velcro is always stuck down when it’s not in use.
The Bottom Line
This might seem like a small thing, but it makes a big difference. By keeping the Velcro hooked and pressed down when not in use, you’ll keep the belt working better for longer, and avoid having to replace it sooner than necessary.
A few extra seconds every day can add months to the life of your Comfort-Truss belt.
