My husband and I both have back injuries and have both had surgery. We’re retired now and arthritis has gotten worse, osteoarthritis. Putting this bodyjellie on is a relief from the pain and misalignment of our spines. The weather greatly affects our pain and discomfort. We sleep in it when needed. I also have the leggings and they are fantastic as well. We will be getting the shorts also.
I was in a car accident in 2021 and have some bulging disks in my lumbar region as well as my cervical spine. I also have slight scoliosis in my back- talk about a double whammy! I had fusion in my cervical region but still need that support in my middle/lumbar region. Wearing rigid back braces hurt and wasn't good for keeping and improving my core muscles - what was a girl to do?! Along came JellieBend with that hug of support to help keep things in line, but allow muscles to still engage so I kept the core muscles I still have! It feels great and I can sleep in it and wake up feeling more like myself- not an achy mess.
I am IN LOOOOOVE with my Jelliebody! I’ve had chronic pain in different forms for many years, and it became excruciating lower, mid, and upper back pain within the last year, which left me bedbound 95% of the time. I kept getting ads for the Jelliebend and tried the original and the Jellie shorts; the shorts felt like perfect support around my hips, but my nerves are very sensitive around my waistline, exactly where the Jelliebend and Jellieshorts hit at the top, so I had to return them and was super sad about it. I then recently decided to try one more time and go with the Jelliebody this time, since it hits higher above the chest, and it’s MAGICAL! Takes away my back pain instantly, makes me feel “held together”, improves my posture, and I went from leaving my bed and being able to stand or sit for only 10-15min at a time and then having to lie down for hours to rest and recover from that single exertion, to standing, sitting, and doing chores for a whole hour and longer, and sitting to rest only for a short while, then going about my day. It sounds simple written out like this but trust me, the difference it means for my quality of life is HUGE. The Jelliebody by itself brought my pain levels from a 8-9/10 daily to a 2-3, which is huge for me. I’ll get an extra one once it’s back in stock in my size, and I’m hoping the Jellie gods will send us a hybrid of the Jelliebody + Jellieshorts, because that would be perrrrrfect for me (hopefully with a smart design feature that helps us to to the bathroom without having to take the whole thing off lol maybe a zipper around the lower part of the shorts, around the hips, where the Jelliebody stops and the shorts portion starts?) honestly, just give me a Jellie-exoskeleton at this point LOL in all seriousness, this product is super worth it, fantastic quality, and the fact it’s made by a female found who understand chronic pain and this product is made for women dealing with chronic pain and chronic illness means so much of itself. Already recommended to several friends too.
This is very easy to wear. Just the right support for me. It keeps my back spasms away.
My husband is dealing with a fractured tailbone, seroma on his lower back, costo chondritis with his lower ribs, among other injuries and the Jelliebend is a tool in his recovery - especially for the fluid sac on his back.
I bought two Jellie bends one in xl one in xxl. I have been wearing the xxl one for three weeks off and on. I needed to wash the one I have been using so I grabbed the xl before heading out the door. Wowza what a difference. I walked to the HOA meeting and back home it DOES NOT hurt. I have been going to chiropractors for 25 years, this thing popped my hip into position and released a nerve that normally takes weeks of daily chiropractic adjustments and anti inflammatories to fix. I love these both. The xxl one works amazing on my ribs/upper abdomen when a rib slips, the xl fixes my back and hip. So honestly if you’re between sizes wait for a sale and get both sizes.
For the last 4 months I’ve had spasms and pain in my piriformes muscle, the shorts have been an absolute miracle! Tried out 2 si belts from physical therapy to lock them in place but they kept falling off, tried thicker one from Amazon and it caused skin irritation, even tried a full body elastic brace but it cut into my skin. Jelliebend shorts are tight and supportive, don’t slip down, and allow for flexibility enough for all day wear. For the first time in months I’m able to stand at work all day without needing pain meds.
I'm really enjoying the jelliebend even though it's not my color that's all that was left and I really wanted to try it. I'm happy to see that the blacks are back in and I will probably get another one. It allows me to have compression without having to wear my brace when I'm not as symptomatic. The pure joy is being able to use it while I'm sitting or laying back in my 45° position to self seal a spinal cord leak. This is a game changer. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you come up with!
