I struggle with hypermobility and dysautonomia, so my doctor recommended abdominal compression to help with my dizziness. I am neurodivergent and struggle with sensory sensitivity, so I was hesitant. I got the Jelliebend and my dizziness has improved substantially. It does not roll and is a very soft and comfortable material.
I bought the full jellie body and love it. It is a tad short, but it fits well. It also functions as a bra, which has been so nice.
I got the shorts and love those as well.
The Jelliebend is so amazing & a game changer for those of us who live at the PT office. I brought mine in a couple of weeks ago (to make sure it was really ok to wear as much as I felt that I needed to) and they hadn’t heard of jelliebend. So I gave them a little introduction- tried it on, showed them how it fit, showed them the website and it was introduced at their next office meeting . Happy to say that all therapists are on board & they now have a sample at the office to show other patients.
For me, it’s specifically been helping with lower back and hip pain due to degenerative disk disease, spinal stenosis (with one surgery down, another needed) and hyper mobility. While I’m not great about remembering to wear it daily yet (only when I’m already feeling pain) I have noticed that when I do remember to wear it on my E-bike (which I just started in July) I sit up a little straighter & I feel less pain at the end of the ride. This has been with a size large . On my worse days I’ve started wearing the medium that I just ordered (at home, not on the bike yet). For reference I’m a 29 inch waist and 5’4”. I think technically I’m a small but I have Crohn’s disease too so anything too tight is too much for me to handle.
Overall pretty happy. Just wish I hadn’t placed an order for pants & a second jelliebend right before the new sand color came out. I’m hoping that it stays around . 🤞🤞🤞
I walked 3 miles today. I normally don't do that - I normally CAN'T do that. The ad that got me to buy this product referred to it as a "hEDS miracle" and I was skeptical, but it is in fact miraculous.
The Sand color is great because it matches my skin tone and I like that I can seamlessly wear it under lighter colored tops
I love my Jelliebend for extra support through out the day- it helps so much with my lower back pain! Only slight issue I had was it would roll down occasionally but not a big deal. The compression was just right.
Love the feel! It’s enough compression to give me a gentle reminder to adjust my posture if needed but this not too constricting
The shorts are a godsend. I’m going to need at least 4 more of these! For those considering whether to purchase: The fabric is weird. Much looser than spanx or something to make you look smooth. When I first put it on I thought, “this will never work.” But the material is thick like scuba fabric and the seam across your lower abdomen and hips is game changing.
I also purchased the OG Jelliebend, the one that’s from hips to bra line. It was very uncomfortable on me but in fairness, I am extremely short waisted. My hips and ribs are about 1" from one another. The $3 Swap Protect is totally worth it.
I still think I need a curvy option for me, which I know Ellie is working on testing, but these have been so helpful for my connective tissue issues without compromising fashion. Thanks Ellie!
