I have to strike a note of caution about this item, for two reasons. First, there are no instructions with the product, other than the diagram showing how to insert the pads. It needs to be made clear that the boxers should only be put on when the hernia is 'reduced'. If it is projecting at all the pads may not push it back through the hernial neck, but instead may squeeze the hernial sac against the abdominal wall, which can be highly dangerous. Second, the size guide is out of kilter. Being at the bottom edge of Large, I followed the advice of other reviewers and bought Large. I'm as thin as a rake, but they are exceedingly tight. Yes they need to be tight but these are a struggle to put on and hard to wear. I think the bands need to be reviewed, and more sizes with narrower ranges are needed.

Probably a bit more supportive than the briefs version, but not as comfortable to wear all day. Still work well, and allow me to stand, walk etc which I can't do without them, but if I buy more, I'll buy the briefs. I was at the smaller end of large on the measurements and large fit well

I’m happy with it but I should have follow your suggestion to buy on size bigger than your measurements. It would have fit better I will have to buy the bigger size

Expensive, uncomfortable and not as supportive as as a basic Velcro strap truss with normal underwear

Very good support. The shorts are very tight which is necessary and I can carry in my day without the pain of the hernia.
