Even though JellieBend did not work out for me, I wanted to share my wonderful experience I had with JellieBend customer service. I was unable to keep my order as I’ve had multiple spinal compression fractures and am unable to pull up on it to get it in place. The process of returning the product and getting my refund was quick, easy, and so courteously handled by customer service. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great product and great customer service to contact JellieBend! Thanks!
Great product. Relieves my lower back pain and hip pain while providing comforting hug and supporting movement. Thank you.
This an amazing product. It doesn’t pinch or dig into my skin. It’s the perfect amount of support and comfort for my hyper mobile hips and my abdomen (which just feels better with some compression). I also love that I can pay with my HSA.
I wear this brace every day I can. I have 3 so I can wash and wear continually. I have a genetic collagen production disorder, hyper-mobility spectrum disorder, and I have a thoracolumbar fusion as well as a cervical fusion. The Jelliebend line is literally quality-of-life-saving. I can IMMEDIATELY breathe easier when I put brace on. My body relaxes and muscles are constantly guarding. It’s helpful in my physical rehabilitation journey as a spinal cord crush survivor.
These leggings are LIFE. I’m 6ft tall and they’re long enough! These keep my Hypermobile knees in place way better than any knee brace ever did, while also supporting my pelvis and hips. (Also Hypermobile.)
I have a genetic collagen production disorder, hyper-mobility spectrum disorder, and I have a thoracolumbar fusion as well as a cervical fusion. I have chronic sciatica and a spinal cord stimulator implant. The Jelliebend line is literally quality-of-life-saving. I’m literally mad at myself for not writing reviews sooner because the garments began helping me immediately and they’ve been helping me for over a year now. And I have some elderly friends and a friend fighting cancer who are appreciative of the recommendation as well.
I find this band super useful for the days that I’ll be sitting a lot, or sitting from standing, getting in and out of the car etc. I have a genetic collagen production disorder, hyper-mobility spectrum disorder, and I have a thoracolumbar fusion as well as a cervical fusion.

I don’t typically write reviews unless I’m incentivized (which to be clear I am not), but this product has been so helpful that I felt I should this time. I have EDS and a back injury from a car accident and this product has been so helpful i’m really wishing I bought it sooner. It’s very supportive and I definitely recommend.
I have Lupus, POTS, and 4 children. When my SI joint and degenerative disc disease caused unbearable back pain, I tried several braces and hated them. I kept seeing ads for Jelliebend and decided to give it a try. I’m SO glad I did. I wear it daily and it’s been life changing.
Long review ahead!
TL;DR: If you’re struggling with chronic pain near your abdominal/back/pelvic areas, these are worth a try.

These are fantastic. I have hEDS, pelvic congestion syndrome, endometriosis, diastasis recti, Raynaud’s disease, as well as celiac disease. Truly riding the “hot mess express” over here 😅
Did I wish I didn’t need something like this? Of course. However, all things considered, these are so comfy and I’m incredibly grateful they’re an option. I have barely any pain the days I wear my jellies. I actually like these better than the regular Jellie bend (which I have 3 of)! The shorts help keep the brace portion in place better for me for more accurate pressure over my trouble spots. I have large low hips and a short torso. The regular Jellie is fantastic, but it doesn’t sit quite as low on me as I’d like. It still does the job though. Regular jellie goes up to my bra line because of my short torso and large hips. The shorts sit a little above my NATURAL waist (not pants waistline). Another perk is that they keep my hips in place. hEDS life, IYKYK.
I wore these during my period and it did help keep the massive bleeding from PCS and endo under control. FYI, Compression shorts are great during that time of the month if you struggle with heavy bleeding.
It’s perfect for under my summer dresses while keeping the layering to a minimum. I overheat quickly due to all these health issues. This does get warm sometimes, but it’s much better than other options out there. These do stay put for the most part, which is impressive with my big thighs. I wear mine two days in a row if I’m not particularly sweaty/dirty. By the end of day two they do need a “reset” wash as they will stretch out a tiny bit.
I do wear panties with mine so that they can be worn more than once. There’s no gusset to catch fluids, but there’s no weird crotch seams to make going commando uncomfortable.
As a sewist myself, They're worth the price. Fabric and labor aren’t cheap. I love that I’m supporting another small business on top of everything.
