Awaiting abdominal hernia surgery and my surgeon recommended wearing a "binder" before and after surgery. This abdominal binder helps to keep the hernia from getting bigger. It is easy to put on which I do lying on my back and allowing the hernia to go back in to the abdominal cavity as much as possible. It is comfortable, durable and a great price. I will definitely order more. Shipping was fast. Thanks Wellwise.ca
