NYOrtho Tapered Abdominal Binder - Firm Compression Wrap - Breathable Stomach Support Post Injury or Surgery - with Contoured Body-Specific Design - 42-48 Inch - Made in USA

I bought this because I had a tummy tuck and needed a binder that was good for compression for someone that had a short torso. This is good but the Velcro stop working after only a few use .

I like that I can get it around my stomach and that it is very adjustable. I do not like that it is so long that it digs into my ribs. I need it for my abdomen but I can't seem to get it positioned properly without hurting my back. I am 5 ft and wearing the one that is in the right measurement for my waist. I sm in the middle. Not largest back brace but close!

Perfect

I first bought the compression wrap after a spinal fusion of the L-5 S1. The surgery was performed through the belly button area (old appendix scar) and the compression wrap I had from the hospital was huge! I am 5'2, 112 pds. The binder compression wrap performed just as good if not better than the one issued by the hospital. It gave me the right support I needed and did not bother my sleeping. Also, living in S Florida, I was concerned about the heat. Yes, I did sweat some with it on but it's Summer in S. Florida.Easy to wash too.I just received my 2nd one to have as a spare. Given the price, you can't go wrong.

After open repair of a ventral hernia, they sent me home with a 12” wide untapered binder. It tended to pleat up in the back, which was very uncomfortable. I purchased a 12” NY Ortho binder that was a big improvement, but today my 9”tapered NY Ortho bi Der has arrived, and it is such an improvement! I highly recommend it. I am 5’5”, 140 lbs, and the 30-36 is perfect. The stays in the back mean no more pleating, and the reduced height means I could even wear a bra if I cared to.

I have mild osteoporosis of the spine and felt unstable and unsteady when walking around my property where the land is a bit uphill, or downhill or uneven and some areas with lots of rocks. I have allergies so at times I sneeze a lot which caused some sudden jerky movements around my back and spine. I had always experienced left hip pain, gone to the chiropractor for adjustments and will feel better until I have bouts of sneezes again and I could really feel my hip alignment is way off. Since I have been wearing this binder I felt more steady, able to do yard work with ease of mind that my spine will be ok, bending and doing all other types of physical work. I have been able to keep my balance more steady climbing and walking on very uneven areas. I no longer feel bent out of shape when I sneeze, my back and spine feel stable when I do. The only negative is that I have to wear a thin shirt underneath it otherwise my (waist) skin itches from the binder. The size 28-36 should have been another 1-2 inches longer, my waist is 34 so at times it feels a bit too snug when doing a lot of bending and especially after a good meal.

I am so glad I found an abdominal binder that is more narrow than the one they sent me home from the hospital with. My only complaint is that based on how they told me to measure in the ad, I feel like this size is a little big. But it does still fit, just can't get much tighter.

So, I’m at a chubby stage right now, but need support. Wanting support that’s smooth but this just doesn’t work. Tried two sizes and neither worked for me. I oozed out one end or the other; not good.
