Frequently Asked Questions
Will the ORTONYX Silicone Hernia Pad show under clothing?
The pad is low profile and designed for discreet wear. Customers report that it does not show through clothes when positioned correctly inside a compatible abdominal binder or hernia belt. For best discretion, choose a matching color (Black or Beige) and ensure the belt is fitted snugly—not overly tight—so the pad lies flat against the abdomen.
Does the pad stay in place or slip during daily activities?
The hook & loop backing is made to attach securely to compatible belts and binders. Reviewers note the pad stays put well during routine movement. To maximize stability, press the pad firmly into the belt’s loop-compatible inner surface and check placement after standing, sitting, or bending. If needed, reposition slightly to maintain comfort and alignment.
Can I put the pad on by myself?
Most users can apply and position the pad independently, but it may be easier with practice or assistance the first few times. Place the pad on the belt while it is laid out flat, then wrap the belt around your abdomen and secure it. If reaching or alignment is challenging, ask for help to ensure the raised center sits over the hernia site.
Does it help when I cough or sneeze?
Many users find that, when paired with a properly fitted belt, the pad provides supportive pressure that can help them feel more comfortable during coughing, sneezing, or other brief increases in abdominal pressure. Always follow your clinician’s guidance on activity, and avoid overtightening the belt to ensure comfort and circulation.
Is the pad comfortable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The pad includes a soft cotton liner and seamless edges to minimize friction, chafing, and pressure points. If your skin is very sensitive, consider wearing a thin, breathable layer between your skin and the belt. Discontinue use and consult a clinician if you experience persistent irritation, numbness, or increased pain.
How do I clean the hernia pad?
Hand wash the pad in cool water with mild soap, remove excess water, and air dry away from heat. Do not iron. Do not machine wash, as a reviewer noted it can damage the pad. Proper hand washing helps preserve the pad’s shape, comfort, and hook & loop adhesion.
What hernia types is this pad designed to support?
The pad is designed to provide external support for umbilical, incisional, epigastric, and ventral hernias when used with a compatible belt or binder. It is not a treatment and should be used according to your healthcare professional’s guidance.
Is the raised center long enough for my hernia?
The pad features a centrally raised bump intended to focus pressure on a typical hernia site. If your hernia area is larger or differently positioned, adjust the pad’s orientation or placement within the belt to target the desired spot. For individualized fit and sizing advice, consult a clinician who can recommend the most suitable support.
Can I use this with non-ORTONYX belts or binders?
Yes, as long as your belt or binder has a loop-compatible inner surface that accepts hook-backed accessories. The pad fits best with ORTONYX abdominal binders and hernia belts designed for hook & loop attachments. Always verify compatibility before use to ensure secure fixation.
Can I wear the pad while sleeping or exercising?
Follow your healthcare professional’s guidance for wear time. Many users wear support during light daily activities. If sleeping with support, ensure the belt is not overtightened. For exercise, use caution—avoid movements that strain the abdomen and stop if discomfort increases. Reassess fit after activity and reposition if needed.
What size is the pad and does it come in multiple colors?
The pad measures 5 3/8 in (13.7 cm) and is available in Black and Beige. This accessory is designed to be positioned where you need focused support within a compatible belt or binder.
Will the edges cut into my sides?
The pad has seamless edges and a soft cotton liner to help reduce edge pressure. Reviewers report it does not cut into the sides when properly positioned in a well-fitted belt. If you feel edge pressure, try minor placement adjustments or add a thin fabric layer for additional comfort.
Is this a replacement for medical treatment?
No. This pad is an accessory intended to provide external support when used with a compatible belt or binder. It does not treat, cure, or prevent hernias. Always consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis, treatment options, and personalized advice on using supportive devices.
