Review on ๐Ÿฉบ Stage 1 Marena Recovery Knee-Length High-Back Post Surgical Compression Girdle by Jason Hayes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

MUST BUY for post op needs

LOVE IT! After the surgery I was swollen and the belt they gave me at the doctor's office was a stir-grip which really hurt me. After reading the reviews and searching I decided on this one and I'm so happy I did. The material is SOFT, other belts say they are "breathable" but that means their fabric is mesh and won't let wounds through. This fabric feels good on my swollen post op delicate skin. It doesn't have any side protrusions like the others which is a HUGE plus, it's super comfortable. I wanted it to be snug so I followed the advice in the reviews and bought the XS, I probably should have gone the small but I was barely able to close it due to the stretchy fabric. But I like that I can keep using it when the swelling goes down. I'm 5'3" and my leg ends just above my knee, which is great because leggings or skinny jeans don't show the mid-leg cutout. It arrived in 3 days, much quicker than expected. The only thing i complain about is the shoulder straps, they are adjustable (with a bra like feature which is great for tall people) but the adjustable thing hurts a bit in the area next to my armpit, i'm short and use the straps in the largest position so I think they got it wrong on that part. I would have preferred the shoulder straps not to be adjustable and the same soft fabric as the rest of the garment. I also wish the crotch was a bit higher it is quite low and it bothers me a bit when I sit down however I believe that for Revain and the USA you will not find a better belt than this I went to the local store and bought another brand which I can't stand (at least not yet), they were more expensive and had a side view, their "breathable" fabric didn't feel good on my sensitive skin.
