FAQ (Inguinal Hernia Repair)

  • Can I wear BRFZY instead of a hernia belt?

    BRFZY is designed for comfort and mild support, not as a medical compression binder. It can complement your recovery once your surgeon says it’s safe, but it shouldn’t replace a prescribed hernia belt if one is required.

  • Is it okay to use BRFZY at night?

    Yes — as long as it feels comfortable and your healthcare provider hasn’t restricted it. Many people prefer the support while sleeping, but avoid using cold packs overnight.

  • Can I keep using BRFZY once I start exercising again?

    Definitely. Once cleared for activity, you can use BRFZY for additional comfort during workouts or walks. It helps reduce friction and adds gentle security as your core strength returns.

  • Will BRFZY help with swelling or numbness?

    The gel-pack pocket can assist with temporary relief from mild swelling, but numbness or persistent pain should always be reported to your surgeon — don’t self-treat with cold or heat if symptoms persist.
