I have bulging and herniated discs and for the first time since my youth I feel like I can properly support myself. It offers pain relief, too. I'm a man who found out he had low T at 30. The pain has been debilitating. This helps to hold me up so I can go about my life. For real. Thanks, Ellie.
I was wary of all the incredible, raving reviews but my sciatica has been so painful, and my EDS causes a lot of rib, back, hip, and spine pain, so I decided to order when they had a sale. I cannot express enough how blown away I am by the jelliebody. I put it on immediately after it arrived, and was surprised that when I bent over to pick up the tag from the floor my back didn't hurt. My ribs are loving the compression and at the same time it doesn't make it difficult to draw a full breath. I feel all held together but not restricted, and it subtly encourages better posture. I am so, so picky about fabric that touches my skin, seams, etc and have not had any issues with it rolling up or bunching, becoming itchy, etc etc.
I am 5'11 and 150lbs, big butt little boobs, and the Medium is the perfect fit and stays put.
I am so, so impressed and I love my new jelliebody!
I struggle with hyper mobility, and chronic back pain from a bad car accident. I tend bar for a living and shaking drinks with an unstable core causes a lot of pain. I’ve been using the jellybend for a few weeks now and can definitely notice a difference in my pain levels post work. Plus this is the most comfortable brace I’ve ever used. I have sensory issues as well and I don’t want to rip this off 10 minutes into wearing it like I do a traditional back brace. I’ll definitely be purchasing a few more
Longer one stays put extra well, lost some weight so XL is a bit much now, but it is still useful and helpful
I was really skeptical of all the ads. I’ve seen so many products marketed to EDS that are gimmicks. And these ads didn’t make me feel much better. In desperation after a few weeks of pelvic subluxations I ordered the bend and the body. The body is my favorite so far.
I tend to run warm but the material isn’t making me any hotter. Twice I’ve completely forgotten the body was on until I went to the bathroom and had to move it. Last night I feel asleep in it.
The sizing for both was accurate for me. The body won’t go over my bust without help or causing a shoulder injury but I also didn’t expect it to. The bend is good too! I could see using it more as I improve and don’t need as much spine support.
Works as advertised. I wasnt sure how this provides the support it claims but it does. Although it doesnt make the pain go away miraculously right away, i can definitely tell that it provides the support my lower back and hips need for relief. Hopefully the more i use it, the more effective it will be.
The jellibend helps me stand for long periods at work and sleep more comfortably without readjusting nearly as much, and the jellibody has been perfect for long periods sitting down when my upper back likes to twitch crazy style <3
It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a brace, the sensation is more like a thick, slim fitting tank top, and I’ve been able to wear them both underneath my clothes and on top!
I also have so much difficulty finding products for sciatica, so I was very pumped when my bestie with EDS told me he really liked this brand, I’m so glad I tried them out :-)
For lumbar pain I wear them like a typical back brace, for upper back support I wear them like a tube top, for sciatic nerve pain I wear them like a micro-mini skirt, and for hip joint pain I wear them like a regular mini skirt!
I was initially skeptical that this really soft piece of fabric was going to help with anything. However it has just the right amount of squeeze. It helps with my low back/ hip issues from scoliosis and vertebral damage. It also helps me be more aware of my core and engaging it. I just ordered one as a gift as well. Now if they can add knee sleeves to the lineup...
Not only did the Jelliebend provide instant relief beyond what I had even let myself hope for (I have MCAS, H-EDS, and POTS) - I was literally in tears after I put it on, it was my first moment of relief in months - but I originally had an issue with my package and the support / customer service team was AMAZING. So incredibly compassionate, empathetic, and solved my problem immediately. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this product and this business. I’ll be a customer for life!
More about the product: I had no issues with it rolling up and down, and I wasn’t uncomfortable even after getting very bloated while wearing it due to GI issues. I bought a size small and am 5”2, 127 pounds for reference.
These bands have been a life saver! I'm in so much less pain. Most nights I sleep with it on to get relief. They have made my life so much better!
