Before my hernia repair surgery I ordered two of the 4 panel binders because I didn't know what the hospital would give me and I needed latex free. I had no idea I would need one until a loved one told me to be sure they gave me one. I had surgery 5 days ago to repair a 2 inch hernia in the midline above my belly button. Surgery was done with robotic assist, so I have 3 incisions off to one side, the internal hole sewn up and 4.5 inch mesh sewn in. They put a different brand of 3 panel binder, just like these, on me in the OR. When I was allowed to shower the next day I put on this 4 panel binder. I find the 4 panel more comfortable. The top and bottom cover all of the area involved, and just feels more supportive than the 3 panel. Again, the 3 panel is a different brand that the hospital supplied, so please don't compare the 3 panel comments in this review to the 3 panel of this brand here. The top and bottom edges of the 3 panel did not stay in place. I had to reposition them every time I got up. The top and bottom of the 4 panel stay exactly where I put them and do not ride around. For sizing, I first measured where 9 inches and then 12 inches would sit on my torso, and decided the 12 might be more comfortable. Then, since I'm a curvy female, I measured the widest area inside that 12 inch height. I ordered the size range that number was in. To put the binder on I first hook the bottom at that widest point, then pull the binder and attach the velcro as I work my way up. Where the top edge sits is narrower than where the bottom sits, so this allows me to get the velcro attached at an angle to give me equal support top to bottom. If hooking the velcro in a straight vertical line the top is too loose on my shape. This binder is so much more comfortable than the one the hospital put me in that I'm only using the 3 panel the day I wash both of these 4 panels. I wash in a zipper bag in the machine with cool water & then hang dry. Do not skip the binder for hernia surgery. The support helps with swelling and pain management.

Well, it arrived today. I was shocked that it was just in a clear plastic bag with no instructions. no nothing! Not sure why there is only one strip of velcro attached to the elastic section. And I'm not sure why it is attached to the rougher side of the material. I would have figured the smoother and softer side would be against your skin for comfort. I guess I will have to figure this out myself. Hopefully the velcro doesn't rip the material apart after a few times just getting it to fit properly. The other thing I noticed that it clearly states in the description that it is MADE IN THE USA!! On the sticker that is on the outside of the bag that the barcode is on, clearly states Made in CHINA!! So is this False Advertising??? I also read for laundering information, read the tag on the product. There is NO Tag with any instructions for laundering anywhere. Not on the product and not on the bag! I am thinking this may have been a huge waste of money and i haven't even tried it on yet. I guess I will try it tomorrow and see hat happens. it may be being sent back for a refund!

This binder is better than the one issued to me by the hospital. It is more comfortable and provides more coverage. FYI: the 4-panel binder is not for petite body frames! I am 5'5" and it fits my abdomen just right. If I were any shorter, it would be too long for my torso. Easy to clean, easy to wear. Highly recommend.

Used it after hysterectomy and it worked great. No issues with bunching up. Easy to put on and the velcro is strong. Line up and secure the top corner first, then make your way down stretching the fabric as needed. I bought the 4 panel and im glad I did. For me, anything smaller would've been uncomfortable due to how it wraps around the torso. 155lbs, 5'5".
