It fits as expected, but is a struggle to get off since its compression haha! It really helped my lower back and ribs at work. I have Ehlers-Danlos and sit on a stool at a desk for work, and it helps gently support me and helps me feel less fatigued and less likely to have bad posture! Im mad i waited so long to purchase it!
I bought one in medium a few months ago—I love it but it’s a little tight so I sized up (& felt the jellybody/ shorts were very worthwhile. It’s great for long days and lots of movement. I wish I had one for my knee!
Not ashamed to admit I have bought the original, the body, the shorts, the leggings, and the hand wraps. I have had to purchase multiple sizes due to some weight loss, however, I just have to a fellow Spoonie. These things are amazing, and add hours to my worst days!
i normally can't wear flat platforms to metal shows without pretty significant low back pain midway through the show while standing in GA for 3+ hours. if i wear heeled platforms, it reduces the back pain but i'm really just trading it for unbelievable foot pain. so i bought this to try and see if it could make things easier and. wow. my normal 7-8/10 level pain about halfway through dropped to a 2, even while bending backwards and headbanging and moving around like i normally do. and the pain was more episodic, not continuous, just twinges here and there. it felt easier to remain stable, and engage my core and know where i was in space. the next day i again was at a 2 at most, when i'd usually be feeling even worse than the day of.
also, as someone who's not only got hEDS, but is also autistic, i was really worried that a thick compressive garment with synthetic materials around my midsection would either make me extremely sweaty while at a show, or it'd roll down (especially with the intense bloating i can also tend to experience), or i'd feel suffocated (i can't stand wetsuits for example) and none of that was the case, even when I've worn it over tights. i'm actually wearing it to work today despite severe bloating and i've been totally comfortable. the only thing i'd say is that given the placement of the bottom edge, if it sits lower than my pelvis, that tends to move up a little when I sit down, but not to the degree that i find it really uncomfortable or that i'm consumed with having to fix it every few minutes so i can function.
if you love going to shows and you have hEDS, this might really be a game changer.
now if jelliebend could figure out a comfy/cute/not particularly obstructive way to keep my neck stable while headbanging so i can stop giving myself whiplash i'd love it.
Fantastic. Truly feels supportive. I love it most for my sacrum for my lower back support. It is difficult to get on but makes sense given its supposed to "hug" you.
Trust me, I was super skeptical. I saw these on TikTok and I thought “meh, can’t hurt to try”. As soon as I pulled these shorts on my face lit up! How do I properly explain that by supporting my lower back and core that even my neck, shoulders and jaw feel better? How is this even possible? Quality is exceptional! I think I will buy the leggings next. AND! My health spending account paid for these garments. Well done! 11/10
