I just had my 6th surgery in 3 years. My stomach muscles are in desperate need of healing. This gentle compression is helping me to get up and move sooner and with less pain. The hospital sent me home with a belly band, but this is way more comfortable. It breathes better in this 90° humidity than the hospital band. So thankful I had this ready before my surgery. Pre-surgery a medium fit just right. I knew post surgery my belly would be swollen for awhile, so I ordered a size large. So glad that I did. I love the support this offers my tummy and back without being stiff or restricting my movement.
These are fantastic! I'm hypermobile and have chronic pain. My knees and I are constantly at war, and my hips can get fractious as well. These keep everything in place even while doing the things that typically give me problems: going up and down stairs, dancing, fencing, working on choreography, existing, etc.
I'm so excited to have found these! If they make a version with pockets in the future, I'll be all over those, too.
Recently diagnosed hEDS, I admit I thought this was a waste of money even as I submitted my order. But, the first time wearing it whilst reclining, watching TV, and then to bed, was amazing. I noticed a difference immediately: my sacrum was no longer low-grade throbbing when I woke up! I have been wearing it nightly, now, and have been pain free since. The fabric is MUCH thicker than I anticipated, which is probably how it works so well. It's a little difficult for me to get in and out of, but well worth it in the long run. I wish they'd make one for the neck [zippered at the front?]!! The berry color (the only one available in my size when I purchased) is a lovely wine color--much darker than it looked in product photos due to the satin-like nature of the fabric.
I bought Jellibend hoping I could turn it into an ostomy and hernia support. It works great! I cut a hole to fit pulling my ostomy pouch through. Now I have hernia support and back support. Would recommend!
Had to exchange for a size up (I went down a size for more compression but it was really hard to have on) but from when I did have the small on, the material was really nice and breathable!
I was surprised that it is so comfortable yet provides good support. My back pain subsided after a few days of wearing.
This is my 5th jelliebend product in about 2 years, I have EDS and am not disappointed!
