Jelliebend

Great product that could use specific improvements.

Hello! I tested this product on my younger sister, who has scoliosis and hypermobility, and these were her thoughts: "Overall a good product. The level of compression is comfortable, and I was able to do certain activities, like sitting at my desk or cleaning, for longer periods of time without pain. I definitely felt more stabilized. However, there were a few issues I came up against: 1. The product is hard to get on and off. I'm very hourglass-shaped, so the size that fits my waist is difficult to get over my hips or bust. I had to have my boyfriend help me. If there were some kind of zipper, latch, or velcro closure, that would be extremely helpful. 2. To that end, I think I would benefit most from the Jellie Shorts (due to my anterior tilt and lumbar anthropathy), but I'm not sure if the sizing would work for me. A medium might not fit over my hips, but a large might be too loose on my waist. 3. The polyester material can be irritating, and traps heat. I would love to be able to wear this out of the house or while exercising, but it would make me overheat. If the product had a 100% cotton lining (or other natural fiber cooling material), I would have way more uses for it. It would also make me more likely to recommend Jelliebend to my friends who have allergies or skin sensitivities."

Good Idea But…

While the intention works, I struggle with the actual execution of the band itself. The top or bottom continually roll so I am always adjusting it, and I find the seams to sometimes drive me crazy. For the cost, I anticipated these kinds of sensory issues to have already been resolved. Aside from that, the compression itself has helped my hypermobility. So it’s hit or miss for me.

Not bad, but the fit isn't ideal for me

I have a ventral hernia which protrudes just below my ribs slightly right of center. I'd been wearing a control tank style shaper, but it was squishing my bust too much, and I got a rash. I wanted something that was just from below the bust and down over my hips, and splurged on a Jelliebend. It fits fine around my hernia area, but it's a bit tight over my hips and keeps rolling up. If it were a little longer and had a bit more flare over the hips, it would be better. Still, I will continue to wear it in certain situations.
