My kids and I have EDS and also do a lot of biking. Back and rib pain is tough to manage, but this has been amazing for all 3 of us! Thanks!
Shorts are very helpful for stabilization. The jellibody tends to roll up. The shorts, of course, do not.
I have joint laxity and POTS so compression is needed for my daily functioning. Lately, my hips have been extremely problematic, and sleep has been nearly impossible - gripping, holding, tension waking me up multiple times a night, plus falling out of my carefully arranged position among the pillows and bolsters.
Enter Jelliebend. It was LITERALLY instantaneous. I ordered two bands with my FSA account (THANK YOU FOR THIS OPTION!!) and when I put the first one on, I walked around for the first half hour just marveling at the feeling. I felt stable, and my proprioceptive awareness was elevated to an almost awe inspiring amount. I knew where all my parts were at the same time!! The first night I slept in the band, I was able to sleep through the night and felt fully rested for the first time in quite a while.
I wore a band in ballet class, and then during a 3 day intensive. It is an amazing tool to be able to rotate in as needed. Going to try to get a pair of the shorts as well!! These are a LIFESAVER. All the people saying they are game changing and instant relief aren't lying (I was skeptical too!! But now 3 other people at my studio went and ordered them as well, since I told them all about it!)
Honestly, it sounds like hyperbole, but some days I put on my Jellybody or even one of my Jellybends and the relief is IMMEDIATE. It doesn’t fix everything but it makes my day more tolerable. Holds me together without constant bracing. My back and hips don’t ache as badly! I cannot wait for the shrug!
I was very skeptical about it at first but it has helped so much. I want to get the leggings next
Breathable, flexible, great quality! Fast shipping! Washes well!!
The longer one works so much better for me. I wish the jelliebody came in the fun colors as well.
I was skeptical. As anyone who has dealt with chronic pain or other chronic illness knows, you spend a lot of money on things you HOPE will help. This purchase felt like another thing I would add to the pile, but— WOW! I was wrong. These leggings have allowed me to walk, stand and be active all day for the first time in ages. And at the end of the day I could still stand in the kitchen to make dinner, something that is often the most painful moment of my day. I’m a believer!! For reference, I have severe scoliosis as well as pelvic floor pain and nerve pain.
