MARENA SFBHS2 Stage 2 Women's High-Back, Short-Length Compression Girdle

I must say I did read the reviews for this item and other competitors. I finally narrowed it down to Marena Recovery. When I searched for a compression garment online I did run into Marena's website. I got a better view of the product. I really needed this garment asap so I went back to Amazon and searched for the exact product number as on their website-Amazon had it. The price was the same. I did need this within a couple of days so I did order from Amazon the SFBHS2, Short Leg No Closures, and glad I did. I received it within two days. The garment my dr gave was super uncomfortable and imprinted my skin, so while I waited for this one I used my high waisted high quality leggings. Once I received it, I did inspect it to make sure it was brand new, indeed it was. I ordered a Small, I do wear small in clothes. I wasn't sure if my measurements would be equal to my swollen belly. However, I took a chance and it was perfect. At this point I don't think I'll need to go down to the XS in a few weeks because it's nice and snug but we'll see. The key is knowing how to put it on. It may sound pretty straight forward but remember you have a swollen abdomen, tender, and needs healing. So that's where you want to put it on correctly. At first, it may seem the waist is small, but once you get above that it's all good. The thigh area is very comfortable; impressive. The straps were perfect as I am 5'3. I did adjust to longest length. Garment is very smooth, absolutely comfortable, evenly compresses your body without imprinting into your skin like the drs one. Material is soft and stretches, and breathable. The crotch area is pretty wide to pee, I personally will remove garment for the other use of the bathroom so at least you don't have to worry about wetting your garment in trying to remove it or unbuckle it. There are no clips, no zippers, you pull up the garment to put it on and pull it down to remove it. Do your research, everybody's body is shaped differently, and do go by the measurements. My waist is 26, rather than going with a XS because it ends with wait 26 I went with the Small starting at waist 26 to be on the safe side. Highly recommend it!! all around great service and great product.

Excellent product. It contours perfectly to the body. I bought one in the past and it is perfect. This project was perfect also. It was not the size I wanted but otherwise perfect.

I used these post surgery for my compression garments. It has great compression but the placement of the shoulder straps is too wide and cuts into my underarms. Maybe this doesn't happen for others but I have to wear the garment without the straps and let it hang just below the breast. It made my first few weeks of wearing it quite uncomfortable while I was at my most swollen. My swelling has gone down but the placement of them still digs in. I found another garment by the same brand that is just the legs and waist with no straps and have started using that instead. The crotch opening is wide enough to make using the bathroom easy enough. I'm not sure if it's the fabric or the compression itself but my skin has had a bit of a reaction to it so I now use pieces of fabric between my skin and the garment to help. Again, not sure if that's everyone but just what I've been experiencing. I would still very much recommend this to others just beware that the strap placement may be uncomfortable for you.

If you have abdominal surgery of any kind, you will likely be told by your surgeon to wear a compression garment for a number of weeks. This brand was the more comfortable of the two that I purchased. It has the advantage of drying very rapidly. You can wash it out by hand and hang it up and it will be ready to wear in the morning. It is significantly more expensive than some of the other brands. Shop for sales and purchase in advance of your surgery.

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 probably will put it in trash! It is horrible!! Just save yourself money and get another brand!

Hi! Had air sculpt lipo and a tiny tummy tuck and I am loving this garment. I wanted one i could wear while washing my other compression suit. It fits great, i like that its a pull on w no hooks and crotch area is comfy and large enough to.. really aim. I am 2 weeka post op, feeling great and actually had sex with it on (i mean why not) the other day. Not the best. Maybe just skip it (the garment, not the sex) for 30 mins. The only not great thing is like all compression graments I am finding, super tight straps that dig into your arm pits. I just stuff little diapers or maxi pads netween straps and skin and go about my day :)

There was just NO WAY I could not write a review! I am two weeks into my tummy tuck recovery and I am burning my abdominal binder! This compression garment is absolutely essential to feeling as whole as possible for the rest of your recovery! Measure twice and hit order! I promise you will not regret it! Thank you Marena!

This product does the job but I must agree with the other reviews regarding painful short bra straps. The traps dig into your armpits and is extremely uncomfortable. I ended up buying bra strap extensions and it was a game changer. I highly recommend doing this if you purchase this product. To the manufacturer, please make longer straps so people don’t have to make extra purchases.

Perfecta
