The Comfort-Truss hernia belt was designed by George Hirst, an avid surfer, fisherman, volunteer firefighter and extremely active individual from coastal Central Florida who developed an inguinal hernia in his late 30s. Living the beach lifestyle means wearing a pair of surf trunks and flip flops as the daily attire, and half the time with no shirt. With the hernia belts available before the Comfort-Truss, there were no comfortable options for an active person who was always in and out of the water. All the hernia truss products on the market were usually very uncomfortable, with heavy straps and bulky elastic pads that were supposed to put pressure on the hernia but caused pain instead. Most would fit high around the waist and could be seen sticking out the top of your waistband once you took your shirt off. And that was just on land. Once you got in the water and got worked by a couple of waves, these other hernia belts would be everywhere except where you needed them to be. They were more of a hindrance than anything during any physical activity.

With the Comfort-Truss, this all changes. The simplicity in design means there is no chafing. The flat, flexible pads on the front do not get in the way whether you are lying on a surfboard or sitting at your desk. Our hernia support belt sits low around the waist and is completely stealthy when you take your shirt off. It is super flexible and form-fitting so that it moves fluidly with your body’s motion. If you have worn any other types of hernia trusses, you will never want to go back to them. Once you try the Comfort-Truss, you will be amazed at how truly comfortable it is and how easily it goes from land to sea and anywhere in between.
