MARENA SFBHS2 Women’s Girdle with High Back, No Closures, Short-Length - Post-surgical Shapewear Support

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.

This is a wonderful comfortable Stage 2 recovery garment. So happy I saved some money buying on Amazon vs. direct from Marena. In week 3 post Lipo and this is just perfect amount of compression and gentle on my still healing skin areas, without needing foam. Tip: the leg edge is raw, and can be cut shorter to your needs. Highly recommend!

The size and compression are great for post-lipo. The only thing I don't like about this is that the straps dig into my armpits and it hurts after wearing for any length of time. I would recommend getting a different style, if you can. Quality of item is good.

Perfect post surgery tummy tuck and lipo. I was able to wear the 3rd week after surgery and it fits great. Pricey but worth it. I will be ordering another one since I need to wear a compression garment for awhile.

The shoulder straps are not long enough, so uncomfortable and the worst part is it’s so expensive and you can’t return it after it’s been open

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.

The quality is great, fits better than any other ones, But the straps are short and they hurt really bad, what I did to be able to used itIs I removed them and put it back together without them and they don’t hurt that way :)

Of the four compression garments I have for after surgery this is by far the best. I am 5’9 and the straps are not too short at all.
