I have EDS and struggle with back and neck pain constant. I also spend lots of time at sporting events trying to survive the bleachers. I used my Jelliebend for the first time all day at work and all night at basketball games and it was the first time in the past 30 years I could remember not being near tears and trying to go home early. Now I use it any time I have to sit for long periods or be on my feet too long. Thank you!!! This is a life saver.
Long story short, I have significant lower back pain, and am an armored combat enthusiast. Woke up this morning with back pain. Grabbed my Jelliebend when I was getting dressed for an all-day armored fighting event in a shopping mall. Put it on, and forgot about it. Got to the event. My chair immediately breaks, forcing me to stand for most of the day. Tossed a full suit of armor on over it with no restriction to movement. I fought and stood from 0900-1700. It's now almost 2200, and my back isn't bothering me. The support, the comfort, and the fact that it provides both with little to no restriction to range of motion is amazing. I have two, but at this rate, I might need a few more to get me through our largest event, the two week long Pennsic War, in the summer.
I bought my first Jelliebend with much skepticism, my core is not what it should be strength wise to support my curvature. I wasn’t in a great deal of pain but my body would tire quickly. The first day I wore the Jelliebend, I forgot I had it on, but knew that I felt really good for over 12 hours, same thing the next day. The third day I was back to the worn out feeling and realized I didn’t have the Jelliebend on, I ordered two more after that! Absolutely love!
I am short waisted and my jelly bend is too long… do they come in petit or something for short waisted people.? I have to fold it over at the top or it wads up in a bundle Thanks
I have the Trifecta: EDS, POTS, & MCAS. Blood pooling in the pelvis, passing out, and chronic pain come with the territory. Research has shown that abdominal compression can help to reduce some symptoms significantly. I’ve tried the corset/binder types. For me, they are too constricting and make it difficult to breathe (which I already have problems with). I also don’t like tightness around my belly. Somehow, the Jelliebend gives just the right amount of everything. Like a warm, gentle hug. I feel supported in my back, compressed in the abdomen, not too hot (though I haven’t worn it during our southern summers when we reach 105 degrees F and 150% humidity…. we’ll see), not itchy (I have sensitive skin), can still breathe and move with ease, and have a reduction in my symptoms. The only questioning thought I have: I’m a hippy gal (37 inch waist, 44 inch hips) so I’m kind of between sizes. The Extra Large is too loose under the bust but comfortable on the hips. The Large is about perfect all over with the exception of a little roll up from the bottom if I move around a lot. I’m ok with that. I just adjust when needed. But I’m wandering if a line of “cling dots” (like those on thigh high stockings) would help it stay in place better. LOVE it otherwise!!!!! Alternatively, I’m considering trying the longer version. The issue may just be where it hits me at the bottom in how I wear it. My rolls have rolls if you know what I mean. :-) Thanks for a great product that caters to a population often overlooked!!
This helps my back from hurting when I stand at work all day. I also had to exchange and it was so easy and fast!
I have had to wear multiple back braces over the last 15 years. I’m at a point now where a soft brace is good, but hadn’t found one without Velcro and that didn’t bunch up when sitting. The JellieBend has been great. It doesn’t shift constantly, I have more range of motion without having to reposition. Sizing guide was perfect. Look forward to more use. Thank you!
My only regret I have is not buying it sooner. It helps my core so much. Far superior than other products out there. It doesnt make me sweat and it doesnt roll down. Will be back to buy more/different products.
