Why are there discrepancies on which size to order. That seems to be the main subject of the reviews.

There are two issues in trying to find the right size. The first is that the listed sizes are for measurements about your hips and not around your waist as is usually the case with pants or underwear. The other is that the truss is elastic, which gets into personal preference -- do you prefer a snugger fit or a looser fit. Unfortunately this boils down to trial-and-error. I had to order once just to see if I'd guessed right and then ordered the one that gave the best fit.

If you read their chart and measure your hips instead of your waist- just like they tell you to do. Then the sizes are correct.I have 43" waste and I purchased the large(42-44"). It fits snugly, but if it were loose it would be worthless. It's snug and it gives me tremendous support and comfort. I love it! I just ordered a second truss and will ware this on any very active day or when I am feeling hernia pain until the day I finally have a hernia operation.

Mr Robert, I`ve just received the second one and the product itself it`s ok, I oredered small (my size) and it fits without a hitch. I had no issues with the size.

That seems (seems) to be an error. I purchased these in a 10 pack but paid much more. They are nice though - look good in my closet.

thats not how it works, it only says that so that you know that you can get different sizes...would be happy to look this up for you

That is one thing I never figured out. I have tried all sorts of different measurements but nothing turns out right. Sorry I couldn't help but I've been trying to figure that too.

I've never ordered through Amazon, but if you order through their own website, you get to specify exactly what you want. There is a lot of variation between the sizes, though, so it is hard to judge. If something's too big you can always cut it down. I've ordered all the sizes, but I've gotten some miniscule smalls, a slightly larger small, and another "small" that I would have considered medium... So it's really hard to judge!

I also am looking for an answer to this question re the conflicting product size description!!!

They vary in size. I normally use an XL but this was not a good fit when ordered.

They're supposed to be the same size. From what I've heard, but it's a possibility

I don't believe there is a difference (at least not that I know of ). I think it is just a mistake of some sort on the size indication bar. Sorry if this didn't help.

They do NOT fit.....I'm not sure if it's a misprint or what....After ordering these and finding out they didn't come close to fitting, I called Oster and they sent me the sizes I needed at no charge. I hope it works out for you....

I didn't have a problem with my order, if you feel your order wasn't the correct length then you may want to measure it. Again I got what I ordered and in a timely manner. Hope this helps.

I think this page has some significant errors on it. First of all, the larger size is half the price of the smaller size. And, as you already noted, the "small" version lists the larger version's complete measurements, and the "large" version lists the smaller version's measurements. Also the large model photo is completely different looking than the small model option. It is hard to order with confidence. Hopefully the vendor will see your question (and a similar one I posted), and clarify.

Its actually up to you. One size doesn't work better than the other in my opinion. Its all about the quality of the item.

Amazon lists an incorrect size. Thanks for letting us know. We will contact them to update their site with correct info.Thanks!

something to do with sizing them. Go to their web site and search on sizesJA

Hello, i believe you may be comparing the XLarge to the XXLarge, which the shipping on the XXL is higher.

Nevermind I just saw that they listed it when you go to purchase as one size and 504. I couldn't tell you why they did that. From my understanding these are all the same. They may be referring to an expandable version? I've never seen that before. Wasn't there when I bought mine.
