Marena Recovery Knee-Length Compression Girdle With High-Back - M, Black: Support & Comfort For Your Everyday Activities! Review

My plastic surgeon recommended I buy a Merena compression garment for my tummy tuck recovery. Then an acquaintance told me they are all the same. Not the case! I bought three different compression garments and the Merena compression is the only one I will wear. Cheaper compression feels painful and this feels like gentle support. I am two weeks post-op and so glad I spent the money. Measure yourself and trust the size chart! I'm 5'7" and a size 4/6 (usually a medium sometimes even a small in…

I like the tightness of the product but when I fit it (I got size small) the body length is too long - I’m 4”11’ tall. I folded it in the abdomen area because it’s going away above my breast. The quality is good but it’s not recommended for short people like me.

I ordered several different compression garments for post-op and this was the most comfortable. I liked that there were no seams or hooks to dig anyplace as I was looking for as smooth a fit as I could get. I would have probably given this 5 stars except that the garment can dig in to the arm pit area a little (yes they are adjustable but when I adjusted to comfortable length this was still a bit of an issue). I've worn mine 8 weeks now and it has held up to numerous washes. Just be sure not to

You get what you pay for so don’t waste your money on other brands, make sure to hang dry & it will LAST. I purchased the beige & black color options.

I thought this was an open crotch like the others I purchased. For someone recovering it Is difficult to bend over to hook it on crotch. The other ones I have ordered were open to allow for easier to use the bathroom. Not convenient at all

For a post surgery garment, the quality could be better. I was so uncomfortable for the first few days I had to rip it off in the middle of the night. It was torture.Recovery is hard enough and I was expecting some coziness on the inside however it was just all polyester and he gave me a huge rash.Returning this garment, do your research.

I used this after a major abdominal surgery. Worked great to keep swelling down. I wore a soft cotton t-shirt under it to avoid light chaffing.

I ordered this for my recovery of my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. It is too long in the torso and bunches under my breasts. It is extremely uncomfortable because that is where my incisions are. It also cuts in on the sides of my breasts so wearing it up (how it’s supposed to be worn) is impossible. It is non returnable so I am either out the money or maybe I can cut the top off? If you have a short torso, I do NOT recommend getting this.

Actually ordered two of these recovery garments for my wife. The stitching in first garment failed on day two and surprisingly in the exact area that another customer posted a picture of. My wife tried to pull the garment up and the stitching gave way and the elastic band separated. After that she has to use a towel underneath as the exposed elastic cuts into her. Overall the garment seems cheaply made and not worth the money. The material and construction are poor quality. Do yourself a favor…

Comfortable, great product. However after washing my 1st and 2nd garment, they both started getting small holes in the fabric. My 2nd garment was packaged differently as though it was a return. Overall good purchase.UpdateThis garment is comfortable. However, it does not provide enough compression.

I had lipo to stomach, flanks, and inner thighs with a breast lift. I have tried 4 types of compression garments as a "stage two” aka I had my surgery about 6 weeks ago. I like firm compression and probably could have done an extra small, but the small feels great and does not put any pressure on my breast incisions. I will be purchasing another in xs! I much prefer this brand to Spanx

Outstanding fit! Extremely comfortable but fits in all the right places! Im 150 and bought a small… perfect! Compression may be too tight for some users!

This is supposed to be the same product my surgeon gave me. I was looking for a 2nd garment just to make washing easier. The shoulder straps are significantly shorter than the other, by at least 3-4 inches. I have to have them as loose as possible and they are still too tight. Not sure why but it is much less comfortable for that reason. Everything else fits exactly the same.

I specifically made sure I purchased the step 2 girdle and this clearly states step 1 🤦🏼‍♀️ I am wearing a medium step 1 right now so what is the point? I might as well have ordered a small if they didn’t have a step 2 in medium

Please read before you buy!This garment DOES NOT have the compression needed for a post op Lipo or tummy tuck. It is very loose, material is very thin so when you pull it up your finger makes tear in the garment.The hooks for strapes are so very uncomfortable, it digs in to your skin.The top part, underneath your breast has absolutely no stretch and so right after your wear it it makes a horrible trace in to your skin.I couldn’t wear it for more that 2 hours and since I can not return it I…

I measured and ordered how they explained yet the product was too big. My suggestion is to order 2 in different sizes to see which one will work the best for you.

I normally have adverse reactions to tight clothing but this is actually comfortable. It also didn’t attract my dogs hair like most material.

I used this after my liposuction procedure. I started using it after the inflammation was down enough to fit in it. I used it at anytime but especially to sleep and when taking a break from the other regular tighter compression garment. I recommend this product but if your legs are big, it’s better to get a the under the knee garment.

I wish as much that I paid they'd make it for people who have more of a back mass. even though I am petite. Thanks for attention.

I bought this for my lipo post-up. It fitted really well and helped my healing process. I ordered a size L after moving down from XL.
