I have HEDs and developed back problems as a result of my condition, and was recently diagnosed with degenerating disks despite my young(ish) age. I was really at a loss of what to do and was having pretty severe back pain. I saw someone recommend this product on Tiktok, and decided to give it a try, and it has been honestly extremely helpful. It really helps support my back and relieves most of my pain, without feeling as restrictive as a hard brace (which I thought might be a little overkill). I wear it a little lower than the models to do help support my herniating/degenerating disks that are in my lower back, but it really can be used however helps best relieve your pain.
Overall, this brace has become a daily essential for me and for anyone with back pain I'd really recommend giving this a try!
I can’t even express how much these shorts have changed my life. I have had back and hip pain related to hyper mobility since childhood. Once I hit 30 things started getting so much worse. I was getting repeat back injuries that caused me to be bed bound for days. Gardening is my favorite thing and I haven’t been able to use my garden for years because of constant injuries. I have had these shorts for three weeks and have been able to wear them to start Pilates to work on core strength and I am now 5 days in to an intense tear down and rebuilding of my garden and have 0 back pain!! I truly could cry, I feel like these shorts have given me my life back. I am able to move without fear of injury. Buy them! You will not regret it!
i have hEDS and have a hard time standing for over 2 hours (unless i wear heeled boots, something something activating different muscles or whatever). however, i also love going to metal shows, and heeled platforms are not the best bet for stability while moshing, and i usually just wind up trading back pain for unbelievable foot pain anyway lol.
anyway, i bought the jelliebend to try, specifically for shows. and last night, while wearing flat platforms, and I'd say my typical 7 or 8/10 pain halfway through a show dropped to a 2. it also helped with proprioception and feeling stable while headbanging. even the next day my back is at a 2/10 at most.
also, given the autism and sensory issues, and the fact that I tend to have bloating in my midsection, I was worried that the synthetic fabric would make me sweaty/feel clammy, or I'd feel constricted, or it'd feel too tight/make my GI tract feel weird/worse, and none of that happened. which is kind of wild. definitely worth it for me.
For Canadian customers
I am leaving a 2nd review and increasing it from 2 stars to 5 stars because of the excellent customer service I received and the product itself is as advertised. There was an additional charge to actually get the parcel released to me and I paid it and informed jelliebend about the added duty charged. They quickly refunded me the added duty charge with sincere apologies about the mix up and they are working on streamlining deliveries to Canada with no additional charges at the border. Their quick response and refund was very much appreciated. The product itself is as advertised and does help relieve my 'MS hug' and back pain. I'm very glad I ordered this to see if it would help make my life more comfortable and it really does help me. I'll be ordering another one in the future and hopefully no extra payments will be required. Thank you jelliebend for your professionalism and courtesy.
I wear this every night and most days as well. It keeps my hips & lower back aligned at night, and it keeps my energy up and pain down during the day! I even showed my Dr and he wrote down the brand to recommend to other patients! I might need to buy a 2nd one!
This wonderful band has been a game changer for me. I have had five lower back surgeries, two prolapses, a cystocele and a rectocele. I would have never believed it if I wouldn’t have tried it, but it is helping me increase my stamina while I have it on. I am more than happy with this purchase and cannot wait to get my second.
