I'm a disabled veteran with thoracic arthritis and hyper mobile ribs. I work a physically demanding hospital job and some days I was in so much pain by the end of my shift all I could so was fo home and lay on my heating pad. I got the longer Jellibend so I could get compression on my mid/upper back and it's made a ton of difference. I'm in so much less pain by the end of the day! It's even improved my sleep because back and ribs pain is no longer keeping me awake. I would buy another one, especially if they made an extra long one that would cover my hips to upper torso. I especially like that while the compression is strong enough to stabilize my back it doesn't squeeze my hyper mobile ribs, which is what has limited my use of other braces.
Thus is just what I need when my back needs some extra support but not a corset-like back brace.
I rotate between wearing the Jelliebend lower on my hips and higher to help with posture. It works great for my every day hip/si joint pain.
I've lived with fibromyalgia for nearly 30 years, and I am now dealing with hip/SI joint issues due to menopause. I ordered the Jelliebend on advice of a friend, and it has been great, but it didn't quite give my larger body the coverage I wanted. I ordered the Jelliebody and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. I position the top under my bust, and it extends fully over my hips, giving me gentle support for both my back and hip joints. I am more comfortable at my desk job, or standing for hours to cook for my community fridge, or walking around with my kids. There's no way I could do all of that without it. I also had an issue with delivery of my Jelliebody, but customer service was extremely responsive and could not have been more helpful. This is a wonderful product and I'm recommending it to everyone I can!
I wear this to feel supported when my back feels like its being pulled apart. It helps me to be pain free at the end of the day.
I have arthritis from middle of my back to hip bones and this gives me enough comfort that I can walk, stand and bend much easier!
I purchased a medium and a large thinking I’d return one. I find that I like having options though so keeping both.
I almost sent my size L Jelliebend back, because of how hard it is to put on and the fact that it rolls up from my hips. I tried one of my back braces, which - though much easier to put on - just didn’t work as well.
Neurosurgeon wanted to fuse my entire spine with an 8 hour surgery (4 one day and 4 the next), which would result in not being able to bend. I’m 81, and that did not seem a good plan. I had seen the ads for Jelliebend and described it to the doctor, who said that wouldn’t work.
So I decided to try Jelliebend a few more days, and now I can say that it does work! I have to keep rolling it back down over my hips and am resisting ordering the XL because I don’t think it would be as helpful.
To echo the comments of others, please make the Jelliebend in beige and/or white. Summer is coming! I may consider the shorts next.
Very happy with Jelliebend!!!
I was skeptical. I saw the ads all over social media and thought, “There’s no way this is actually that good.”
But I finally gave in and tried it… and wow. I was wrong.
I’m autistic and very sensory hypersensitive. I also have hEDS and several other diagnoses, so my body is extremely particular about comfort and support. Most products either overwhelm my senses or just don’t work the way they promise.
If you are like me and tried a back brace, this is nothing like that. But does all a back brace should do and more. It's magical.
Jelliebend is different.
The texture, the flexibility, the way it moves with me instead of against me; it’s genuinely incredible. It feels supportive without being rigid, soothing without being overstimulating. That balance is rare.
If you’re on the fence like I was, this is your sign.
Just buy it. I swear.
