5.0 out of 5 stars Great deal, but note that sizing is by hips, not waist., April 6, 2008

This review is from: Lumiscope Support Truss (Health and Beauty)

Tried one of the heavier $45 trusses--horrible. Hot, and two layers of thick elastic and velcro on the hips were about 1/2 inch thick--ridiculous when jeans and a belt placed over them. Elastic straps running through the crotch area were so thick that they chafed. Pad tensioning was integral to the truss, so increasing pad tension also increased waist and hip tension. The expensive truss also had pads made out of some semi-rigid foam like styrofoam--not comfortable at all.

This truss is comfortable, and the pad pressure is completely separate from the truss body and easy to adjust after the truss is on. No chafing. The pads are flexible and comfortable, but are not removable. The price is certainly right. The only negative is a small opening in the crotch area. Presumably there for convenient access, it may cause pinching of delicate items in some cases, and may need to be pinned or sewn shut.

I had to find another web site to get accurate sizing information. The sizing on this truss is based on hip size and not waist size. My sizing was accurate using the following table:

Size versus hip circumferance:

Small -- 30"-32"
Medium -- 34"-36"
Med-Large -- 38"-40"
Large -- 42"-44"
XLarge -- 46"-48"
XXLarge -- 50"-52"

2.0 out of 5 stars These run SMALL !!!, July 27, 2006

If you are new to this type of device, you must note that the size designations are not normal and Amazon should provide some guidance in selecting the size. FIRST of all, you must measure your HIP circumference and then cross-reference that to Lumiscope's "sizes". EVEN then, I think I'd need one size larger. No surprise - these are quite uncomfortable if improperly sized. I did not give this item the lowest rating because I think the design and construction are good - providing you can guess the correct size.

3.0 out of 5 stars size, August 9, 2007

This review is from: Lumiscope Support Truss, Medium (Health and Beauty)

I found the actual size of this product much too small for medium.
My waste size is 33 and it is impossible to comfortably fit into this
product. Since this item(s) cannot be returned I am out the money
I paid for them. I Had to place another order for medium/large and
it turned out to be much better but is still very tight.
