The comfort truss is designed to be worn against the skin under your underwear. It should sit low around the waist, below the points at the top of the hip bones (Iliac Crest), and just an inch or two above your butt crack. Since there are two different styles of Comfort-Truss (Single and double-sided), there are two different ways that the hernia belt should be put on.
Important Notes:
- The Comfort-Truss is designed to fit tight. You will need to stretch it up to 5 inches to get the velcro on the waist strap fastened! It will stretch out and become more comfortable as it breaks in.
- The pad pocket opening and product tag should be facing the inside against your skin.
- If you think you received the wrong side belt, most likely it’s because you are attempting to put it on inside out! Please do not contact our support team unless you have tried it with the pad pocket opening and the product tags facing your skin with the pad directly over your hernia.
Make sure hernia is reduced meaning that there is no lump showing. Some might have to lay on their back in order to accomplish this.
Determine the inside of the belt by finding the pad pocket opening and the sewn-on product tags. These go toward your skin.
Place the pad directly over hernia site with the pad pocket opening and the product tag against the skin. The leg strap should hang down on the same side of your groin that the hernia is on.
Wrap waist strap around waist and fasten velcro above the hip opposite of the hernia side.
Pull leg strap down under groin and around under your butt cheek on the same side that your hernia is on.
Pull leg strap through the slit in the fabric above the back of the hip.
Pull snug and fasten velcro to waist strap above hip.
Adjust tightness of straps to support level needed.
Make sure hernia is reduced, meaning that there is no lump showing. Some might have to lay on their back in order to accomplish this.
Determine the inside of the belt by finding the pad pocket opening and the sewn-on product tags. These go toward your skin.
Place the waist strap around your waist with the pad pocket opening and the product tag toward your skin and the sewn pad section on your back, then connect the velcro belt in front of you.
Rotate the belt around so that the pad is in place over the hernia sites and the velcro attachment is attached on your back side.
Pull leg straps down under groin and around under your butt cheeks one at a time.
Pull the leg straps through the slits in the fabric above the back of the hips.
Pull the leg strap snug and fasten velcro to the sides of the waist strap above hips.
Adjust tightness of straps to support level needed.
Note: The T- Strap is to be installed once the Comfort-Truss has been donned.
Place the joint of the “T” directly over the point where you feel needs the most pressure on top of your hernia.
Run your fingers down the Vertical strap pressing it tight against the fabric of the Comfort-Truss.
Pull both ends of the horizontal straps across the front of the Comfort-Truss, then place the straps against the fabric pressing out any kinks in the strap.
Removal is the opposite of donning.
Note: Some people like to leave the straps fastened and remove the Comfort-Truss the same as removing their underwear, but it is personal preference.
How to Wash
- Reattach the Velcro before washing.
Start by sticking the waist strap Velcro back onto the belt itself. Then place the leg strap Velcro right on top of it. Make sure everything is pressed down nice and tight so the straps stay flat during washing. - Rinse with cool water.
Run the belt under cool water until it’s fully soaked. No need to remove the internal pad—it can stay in place during the wash. - Gently squeeze out excess water.
Fold the belt vertically so the Velcro stays upright, then squeeze out the water by pressing the belt—no twisting! Avoid wringing it out sideways, which can damage the velcro hook straps over time.
Why This Matters
It might sound like a small detail, but taking the time to wash your belt correctly helps preserve its shape, structure, and performance. Twisting and wringing the velcro hook can cause it to curl on the edges, reducing the life of the Velcro and leave you needing a replacement sooner than necessary.
How to Store
- Reattach the Velcro straps after use.
Stick the waist strap Velcro back onto the belt, pressing down firmly, then press the leg strap Velcro right on top of it. This prevents the edges of the velcro hook from curling over time. - Store it so that the velcro hook straps are flat or hang it by the waistband.
Don’t toss it into a drawer or gym bag where it can get twisted. Laying it flat or hanging it helps keep the belt in proper shape and ready to use.
Why It Matters
Storing the belt correctly keeps the Velcro in good condition and helps it last longer. A little extra care goes a long way in preserving fit, comfort, and performance.
