Review on BraceAbility Rib Injury Binder Belt: Women's Rib Cage Protector Wrap for Soothing Support, Sternum Injuries, and Pulled Muscle Pain Relief (Female - Fits 34”-60” Chest) by Mark Hamblin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Rolls too many/difficult to put on without help

UPDATE: I have upgraded it to 1 star as I feel the 2 stars is unfair. This is really a great product. The rolling part is still an issue, but I'll move on: the injury couldn't be bandaged, so getting it on properly and tight enough might be an issue. My ribs are healing so I'm going to turn grouchy mode off and back into chill mode and be fair to the company. I really really wanted to like this product. It was like an answer to a prayer. I fell and broke a few left ribs, and every movement caused excruciating pain all over my body. Basically, my ribs weren't supposed to be bandaged, so the ER didn't bandage them. He said he would be in excruciating pain until he healed. I don't include my mistake if I think it should have been wrapped. What I am judging are the general things that would affect my opinion if I had an injury that I had to tie up. First, it arrived on time, was well packaged, and was the right size. I had to ask a friend to come to my aid because alone it would be impossible to put this bandage on broken ribs. The image shows that the female product had a shape that respects the female anatomy. I still think it's awesome. My biggest problem is that the foil kept slipping. Sitting still, standing still, thinking about how many times I could use the word "more" in this paragraph, and lying down was impossible because you would wake up in pain and peel the cover off your perfectly still (BAM! mic) body . I think I like the idea of this product more than the product itself.
