MARENA SFBHA Recovery Panty-Length Post-surgical Compression Girdle, High-Back - Adjustable Bikini Length

I used this toward the end of my diastases repair. It was the 2nd style garment I bought because the first one became too big as my body healed and the swelling went down. I measured my torso and used their size chart and my fit was perfect. It offered the support I didn’t realize I was no longer getting from the other garment, which was now too big. I felt brand new when I put this on and it made getting around and being productive so much easier. One thing to consider though if you will be wearing this after abdominal surgery is the bottom snaps and there is NO WAY I would have been able to bend to snap and unsnap to use the restroom right after the surgery. So, for your immediate post-op garment, I’d recommend one that goes to your mid thigh and has an opening so you can easily just sit on the toilet and go. Then as you heal and need a tighter fit, switch to this one because it closes at the bottom and you can wear loose fitting dresses or shorts without worrying about everyone seeing your private parts and you won’t see the thigh undergarments sticking out the bottom of your dress or shorts. Hang in there, the recovery is hard, but having the right undergarment will make healing a lot easier!

This is an excellent fit! It’s comfortable and much easier to close on the bottom than what my surgeon gave me. The only problem is I sweat in it more.. (compared to one I got from my surgeon)

The compression is not very good and the opening for the legs is very tight. The hooks for the top that resemble bra straps are heavy and big metal and cut into my underarms. I bought a medium and a xsmall and I have the same issue with both. The crotch areas is very wide and cuts into your legs. Overall this is not a great product for the cost. I did size down to xsmall after 4 weeks. However, I am super uncomfortable all the time and only wearing this when I need to leave the house and wear “normal” clothes. Otherwise I use the belly band my doctor gave me after a mini tummy tuck.

I got it for after my tummy tuck. I like it overall but don’t love it. Measured on my presurgical belly and I think that was a good measurement. I am 5’ 5”, presurgical waist 35in, and ordered a XL. Pros: lays nicely, smooth finish so no itchy bumps, I have a JP drain and easily able to wear with that. I would say it gives nice compression that doesn’t feel like too much. Easily able to reattach the bottom fasteners when I go to the bathroom. Cons: Arm straps are a little uncomfortable, I have all the way out and they cut into my armpits a little bit; the holes around the thighs feel tight. I have thicker thighs and it’s a little tight round them. Granted I do wear underwear with them. I bought one with shorts too but I think I will return that one, I think one will be enough for now. Thinking about getting one for my second portion. Don’t know yet.

Don’t cheap out. This is the brand my Plastic Surgeon uses. After my tummy tuck I woke up with a black panty line/zipper and hook one on me. I had ordered these pre-op and love them. I opted for the straps to help support my posture. The material is soft and easy to sleep in. Before my surgery I did order several different brands but sent them back. I ordered these not knowing I would receive one from my surgeon. Happy I decided to spend the extra bucks on this quality product. I’m 5’3 123lbs and the medium was perfect.

I agree with others - the arm straps dig into your skin. For a recovery item, this definitely needs perfecting. The straps should be moved more toward the front of the axilla (armpit). I’m petite usually a zero and two in clothing, I can be a xs in “regular” sized clothing. I am/was 125 lbs and size 36c (post pregnancy) and 5’ tall so with measurements and traditional sizes I bought a medium. My measurements had put me across three Sizes M-XL. Anything bigger than a M would have been quite loose. It’s perfect. I wear a t shirt and granny underwear underneath to prevent any chafing as recommended by my surgeon. it makes adjustments so much easier and better. I don’t worry about rubbing and misaligning any ABD pads keeping my surgical site undisturbed. With that said, it’s a 3 rating product because the digging is a major flaw for the price. Nothing can be done about it since I read this is common. It really hurts my skin and I constantly need to adjust it. I say bring the connector piece higher or move toward the back like traditional bras, so that it’s not in the area where we naturally close our arms causing that piece to dig. Also, the seller is an authorized seller so it’s a big deal that they offer return/exchange thru Amazon since Marena Group LLC doesn’t accept returns though IDK if they offer replacements which unfortunately results in some horror reviews I read that comes with the territory. Overall, I am keeping it. I need it and it’s functional though wish there was a more comfortable option. Not that I know of so sticking with this one.

my wife loves it, quite firm and comfortable so she says.

I have used this for post op tummy tuck and lipo. I didn't like how tight it was in the crotch area so I wear biker shorts underneath and it's just fine. I am 5'2 134 pounds and bought the medium. I'm on the middle hooks, so I can go one size tighter before I need a smaller size. Hoping I won't need to buy another. Wash on gentle cycle and hang dry. My doctor recommended these cut instead of the longer ones because of my drains. Definitely talk to you doctor so you get the right cut for you.
