I have 3 scoliosis curves and also severe lordosis, or swayback, basically. My lower back needs all the support it can get and when standing, traditional braces fail because the swayback means the brace doesnt even touch my lower back. The Jelliebend family has been a God send, but the one shortcoming, for me, was that the Jelliebody (which covers my 4'10 self from over-the-bust to below-the-hips) worked great when I was doing a lot of standing, but was too restrictive when I was sitting. Meanwhile the og Jelliebend needed to be low when standing, but didnt work great, and needed to be high when sitting...but failed to help if I ended up having to walk to my seat or otherwise move around.
The shorts have proven to be a game changer. Alshouth I dont need the hip support specifically, the shorts keep the coverage in place when I am sitting and the "waist band" extends to the bottom of my bra, giving me the lower back support I need. This allows me to move from sitting or standing without having to reposition or tug at the product at all.
i genuinely dont know if i can sleep ever again without these shorts on. my pain level after rising has gone down to essentially nul and I have severe hypermobile EDS that typically leaves me in a painful pretzel in the AM. It would be awesome if there was a way to develop a version that are specifically for sleeping etc because I def get a bit hot in them … but honestly its just so worth it I dont even really care. Will need to get 5 more pairs!! thank you!!!
OH—also they are stupid difficult to get on to my body (maybe i got too small a size but i like feeling the snatch once they’re on) but I would imagine this would be really difficult on a day when my fingers are also flared up and I can’t grip to lift these up. Maybe there’s a tool that could help with that?
Modern thick material creates support but it’s still “slinky” so shirts lay well over it.
I can’t actually believe how good these feel. I have hypermobile hips and there’s been no relief from the pain and strain, but with these I feel like I’m actually on top of my bones instead of sagging between them. I’m standing and walking around my apartment laughing because I’m just so relieved and shocked at how NOT bad it feels. I was nervous to order because they’re pretty pricy and I’m always skeptical that anything could actually help, but they’re better than I even hoped and I’m ordering another pair immediately.
I absolutely love my jellibend! I originally purchased two different sizes and fabrics. And now I have four and got my first jellibody. I am in love! I sleep in them and wake with minimal pain and excellent mobility. I tell anyone who complains of back issues and digestive issues to give it a try. Myself, l have both. I also have a challenging body shape but having two sizes to choose depending on the level of compression I need and level of swelling I have day to day is priceless. Thank you, Ellie for creating such a seemingly simple solution to my myriad of issues.
I purchased the Jelliebend both to support my low back and pelvis and to prevent blood pooling. It does both wonderfully! I was most pleased with how it makes exercise more comfortable. I bought the shorts as well.
The Jellibody is a great product. I have worn it a few times and already it has helped my pain in my back and my hip. It gives me a "hug" and helps me feel so much better and aware of my body. THANKS for an AMAZING PRODUCT!
I don’t even know how to explain how much better I feel when I wear this. I feel more human than I have in a long time!
Life saver! I am a elementary teacher so on my feet a lot. I wear this under my clothes and it is super comfortable and supportive.
