MARENA SFBHM Stage 1 Mid-Calf-Length Post Surgical Compression Girdle with High-Back and Hook-and-eye Front Closure -Tummy Control Post Surgery

Bought for recovery post surgery. The extra support and smoothing without bunching up anywhere was great. This is a very well-made garment. Check your measurements and order accordingly. I like that it has 3 rows of hooks which gives some flexibility of fit. I rated 4 on comfort for one reason only: because of the wide-spaced straps (which are necessary in the design to wear your own bra), the outer edge of the plastic hooks rubbed and irritated my skin. I solved this by stitching a soft piece of material around that spot. Manufacturer might consider adding an optional comfort pad to Velcro in place.

After trials and tribulations, this was the one that I found most comfortable! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the straps are too small and a bit uncomfortable but I remedied by wearing a crop top underneath. This was the only one that fit that went down to the calf. I have this in large too and I have washed both about twice a week since beginning of April and still in good condition, no holes etc.. I wash in the machine on warm regular cycle and hang to dry. I'm just over 2 mo post op and bought a small for extra compression but the straps are so tight, hoping to find extenders or will return. I'm 5'6 155-160lbs.

I feel this is overpriced because I've purchased thicker better quality fajas that cost the same as this one. However, I needed longer leg compression and this is great so far. I have only had it for a couple of days but so far I have to say it serves it's purpose.

I have purchased 4 or 5 of their products and never had a problem. I love their stuff

Different quality compared to “same” from surgeon. I was given the same “brand” of garment and same style from my doctor but in a different color and there is a noticeable difference in quality. It was a waste of money with 2 holes and fraying seams after only a couple weeks of wearing as directed. At which point my movements were still very limited. This garment fits as it should. Not too tight at all. Comfortable. I alternate with the one from surgeon. So same amount of wear, same treatment. Disappointing for the price.

First let me start by saying this is a decent product. What I like most about it was the accessibility function the opening at the bottom so you can go to the bathroom without having to pull the whole uniform off.I love the hooks in the front very convenient for pulling it on and off. I purchased the three quarter length which was great who is very convenient I can still wear a long skirt with it.What I did not like was the straps they were short and very uncomfortable they actually Doug marks into my shoulder. I think a Razorback would have been much better.I would suggest if you are needing to wear this often that you buy two versus one because the material starts to rip after a while. I wore mine's a couple of days a week and is deteriorating in the leg near the bottom already.Personally I think it was a little overpriced for the quality.

I bought several of these through recovery from an extensive abdominal surgery. The rest all came in sealed packages. This one showed up in a clear plastic bag and smelled like Gain Moonlight Breeze laundry detergent. (I know that scent because I use it at home). The others I purchased were obviously new, not returned products.I found all this irritating as the packaging on the others I purchased, and website clearly indicate that these cannot be returned- likely because it is a medical device and is worn like underwear.Since it takes several days for these to arrive, I was stuck with the option of doing without a properly fitted garment for several days or boiling it to make sure it was really clean. I opted to boil it because I was in pain without a properly sized garment.The good news is that it survived the boiling process (I put it in boiling water for 3 minutes and then put it in the regular "sanitary" wash in my regular washing machine) quite well with no apparent shrinkage or other damage.

I had liposuction on my legs on Monday, wearing this compression garment by Thursday. My doctor told me to get a small size, I was hesitant at first, but purchased it. Out of surgery I was put in a large garment and weighed 176 lbs. I am 169 lbs. 5”2. I added two pics. I am also menstruating and wearing undies with the garment. I hope this helps when you make an informed decision on size.
