Most are of a softer, flexible type of elastic/rubber material, depending on your purpose: hernia support or just abdominal support. There are many available, from dirt cheap to ridiculously expensive, on eBay, Amazon, etc. I have several cheap ones for training, exercising, etc.

Do you think the Nu Hope belt is enough support for low-impact aerobics? I'm trying to prevent another hernia. I ordered a stealth belt.
