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.

I have no idea, that is the same problem I had .Amazon nor the seller has not provided me with any sizing information . I will not re-order until that question is answered.

The largest one they offer, which I think is an extra-large? You will want the largest they offer, regardless of their recommendation, because it can be quite tight. Especially at first. I previously read a review by someone who followed the recommendation insofar as size, and it ended up being a bit on the tight side. They felt they should have gone up a size, although they thought they wouldn't need to at first. Hope this helps.

There are two different sizes they sell. I bought both so I believe you need to check the sizes. They are correct.

I honestly do not know although the very small size difference would not affect my purchase.

Stay with your original size, You are playing a hit and miss game.I have tried two so far and neither one fit. Pisses me off.

Yes, you are so right. They are good at telling you how great it is, but nothing on the sizes...lol

Because Amazon doesn't separate reviews for different sizes/colors of the "same" product. I buy a lot of camera equipment on here and when I'm shopping for accessories the Nikon/Canon reviews are always mixed even though the manufacturer makes different versions for Nikon/Canon.

Well that is difficult to tell, since there is difference between brands. But if I normally am more medium then on these I'm more large. So the sizes run small. Hope this helps a bit?

I'd like to know the answer to that too. I decided to try the choose-a-size but they are not equal to these. Are you listening Amazon? We'd all like to know.

I think it has to do with what's in stock in their warehouse. The adult sizes may not be in stock. I'm not an Amazon employee so I don't know for sure.

perhaps a large and/or xl - go to the site and check their sizing out why don't you.

It seems to differ month to month, but in general, yes, they are not select-a-size.

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

I think they are all different so make sure you know the width when you order. They should all say.

Thanks - I called the company and you are correct, I ordered the 735 and the 745 which, by the way, were $20 cheaper per pair via amazon. The problem was the way they list the sizes: 1. there is no explanation as to what X10, X20, X30, X40 mean; 2. then when you go to the infamous fitment guide they throw the 735 and 745 numbers at you. Point is - in the face of the testimonials and the warnings about insuring you order the right size, the consumer is left struggling with no confidence as to what size to buy.

I Googled "hakama" and "sizes" and some size charts returned in the results. I am basically going off of the heights listed. I don't know how specific it would be to this company though.
