Ok, so, when I read reviews, I am often skeptical of the ones that claim magic. But I can't honesty write a review for these without saying it. They are magic. At least for me. I have tried for years to find something that helps with the way my hEDS causes my hips/tailbone/sciatic stuff to subluxate and cause significant pain and instability. I've tried all the braces, massage, chiropractic, ice, heat, etc. Nothing lasted without also causing other problems. These shorts though. They are BUTTERY soft, comfortable, and I can immediately feel a difference. Not only do they keep my joints in place (and my ribs when I wear them high enough!), but they've also had an effect I didn’t expect: they take the work out of staying still. I didn't realize until now how much my muscles activate when I am sitting at my desk, for example, just to fight against the ligament laxity that wants to let my joints fall out of place. The jellie shorts take that burden off of my muscles and let them relax. So, beyond being less out of place at the end of the day, my legs are also less fatigued. They also last a number of wears before needing to be washed. Cannot recommend highly enough, and will be getting more. (Also! Customer service was amazing when I had my package stolen. So kind, replaced everything, and even offered to let me ship to a different location if I needed.)
