Vanilla Blush Ladies Beige Level 3 Hernia Support Belt (16cm)
Often, hernia support belts aren't designed to fit women. Luckily, the Vanilla Blush Ladies Beige Level 3 Hernia Support Belt (16cm) was made with women in mind, offering extra reinforcement and a proper fit to better minimise the pain of discomfort of hernias. The extra-tall design helps provide better coverage and support to help relieve the pain from abdominal hernias.
What's Included?
- 1 x 16cm Hernia Support Belt
Which Size Fits Correctly?
Each beige support belt is fitted to sit over patient's stomachs. To find the right size, measure the circumference of the stomach as shown in the picture below and match your measurement to the available sizes. If the patient has a stoma or hernia, measure over that.
Even if users fall out of the belt's size ranges, there is enough room for adjustment on each belt to give a proper fit. Our sizes are as follows:
- Up to 80cm
- 85 - 90cm
- 95 - 115cm
- 115 - 135cm
- 135 - 148cm
Please measure your abdomen as pictured
Key Features and Benefits
- Wearing a hernia belt will help smooth out the appearance of any bulge, making it easier to have some discretion
- Comfortable fabric and design allows for the belt to mould to any bulges, stomas, or hernias without restricting any stoma output
- Soft lining keeps sweating and irritation to a minimum
- Women's cut belt built to provide better support and comfort for women with hernias
- Helps reduce symptoms of overstrain and exertion
- Extra-tall level 3 support covers more of your abdomen to give you more support in areas other belts might not reach
Adjustable and Inconspicuous
Every Vanilla Blush Hernia Support Belt conceals quite nicely under regular clothing. This belt doesn't reach as high up on the abdomen, but still provides incredible support. Most hernia belts can be seen quite easily because of their hefty Velcro straps, but Vanilla Blush's supports are adjustable and low-profile, allowing for greater discretion.
What Is Level 3 Support?
Each "level" of hernia support is based around how much compression force is applied through the garment. This Vanilla Blush compression belt is rated at level 3, meaning it's firm and fitted without feeling too tight around your abdomen. This means belts rated at this level are suitable for most users who are looking for solid support without feeling too squashed.
How Do Patients Use the Beige Hernia Support Belt?
Putting on a Vanilla Blush Hernia Belt can be done in three ways:
- By inserting your hand into the glove, holding the other end of the belt around your waist, and pushing the Velcro padding shut
- Fastening the Velcro, stepping into the belt – pulling it up, and adjusting for more or less support
- If you already have an established hernia: lie on your back, push your hernia inward to get better support, and fasten the Velcro
Regardless of which way you put it on, be sure to keep the Velcro section away from any stomas to allow it to keep functioning. If your stoma bag needs emptying, simply pull up the belt and allow the appliance to release to be drained, or reapply the belt entirely.
Who Are Vanilla Blush?
Vanilla Blush was founded by former high-end fashion consultant and NHS Intensive Care Nurse Nicola Dame in 2008. Her company was founded after she began to suffer from ulcerative colitis in her twenties, and she found that there were not many options for fashionable underwear for ostomates. She's made it her mission to provide supportive, stylish, comfortable, and discreet ostomy underwear for anyone who needs it at an affordable price.
