Product Details

Men's Hernia Boxer Shorts

The Men's Hernia Boxer Shorts are ideal for inguinal hernia containment, and pre- and post-hernia surgery. They are a re-styled version of the original hernial brief, incorporating the modern boxer shorts design.

The Men's Hernia Boxer Shorts come with a pair of hernia pads, which can be worn for enhanced containment of reducible inguinal hernias.

Please note, due to the compressive nature of their design, we recommend you select a size up from your standard size if you are concerned about your Hernia Boxer Shorts fitting tightly. 

What's Included?

  • 1 x Pair of Hernia Boxer Shorts
  • 2 x Hernia Pads

Features of the Men's Hernia Boxer Shorts

  • Washable at 40°C 
  • Comfortable and easy to wear 
  • Provides effective abdominal support 
  • Ideal for use during sporting activities 
  • accessible opening on the supporting panel 
  • Hypoallergenic and sanitised
  • Breathable antibacterial fabric
  • Prevents bacterial proliferation and unwanted odours
  • Please be aware this product is non-refundable under grounds of hygiene 

What Makes This Product Special?

We Spoke to Orthotix, who said: "These are a great in-between option for people waiting for, or recovering from, abdominal surgery. These briefs support the muscles while staying soft and comfortable, providing round-the-clock support."

How Do You Apply the Hernia Pads?

Thankfully, attaching the included hernia pads to the boxer shorts couldn't be easier. Please view the instructional video below to find out how:

Which Size Is Right for Me?

To find the best size of the Hernia Boxer Shorts for your needs, we recommend measuring the circumference of your hips/pelvis (see below) and matching the measurement to the sizing in the table. Please note that the boxer shorts are designed to provide compression and as such have a close-fitting design. If you would prefer a slightly looser feel, we'd recommend choosing the size above your measurement.

Hip Measurement Indication

Size Hip Circumference (cm)
Small 71 - 82cm
Medium 82 - 94cm
Large 94 - 105cm
Extra Large 105 - 117cm
XX-Large 117 - 130cm

Please select your desired size from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

Washing Instructions

  • Do not wash above 40°C
  • Suitable for handwashing
  • Do not bleach
  • Do not iron
  • Do not tumble dry

SIZE MATTERS
Rating:
05 February 2024  | 

Being a 36" waist I ordered size L as recommended, the pants unstretched measure 28" and stretching manually could get them to reach about 33" !
So very,very tight when tried to put on. They seem decent quality and they would definitely help if they were not so tight. Recommend ordering at least one size up from what you would expect. Can't send back as they are underwear !

I’m an active person and felt that my hernia diagnosis was going to curtail my activities but this support has been great. I only wear it when undertaking any physical activities.

The best I've come across and probably as comfortable as a truss can be. Needs to be a size smaller than a waist measurement. Pity there's no adjustment of material midway along the crotch, to "rotate" the pad pocket and offer an increase in pressure at the lower end od the pd. The shorts occasionally pinch the skin at crotch and have to be pulled to release the pinch, but that probably because there has to be a compromise between function and comfort.

This item is a great product but unfortunatly my husband would have needed at least two sizes larger. My own fault for not listening to other reviews.

Hi Moira,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review with us.

We can confirm that these Men's Hernia Boxer Shorts do indeed fit tightly due to the compressive nature of their design. The protection and stability they offer simply cannot be achieved with a looser fit and so we do advise customers to select a size up if they are concerned about tightness.

Kind regards,

Seth at Health and Care

If you order this very good item make sure you order the right size. I thought I had but it was far too small. Go for three sizes above your normal size

Quality has so far been good, I hope it can cope with the pulling without tearing eventually. Sizing requires thought. If your measurements are 'on the cusp' between two sizes - go for the larger one. Not an item to wear on long drives as it becomes uncomfortable. Good when golfing! Toilet visiting is best well anticipated. All in all it is comforting to have it on.

I opted for a size which was just too small so cannot really comment save to say the item was dispatched very promptly.
