SFBHM2 Stage 2 Pull-On Girdle with High-Back – Adjustable Mid-Calf Length Girdle

I waited a couple of weeks post surgery to decide to buy this. I hesitated due to some of the negative reviews. But I really needed something that didn't have zippers or hooks and would give me good compression. I went by the measurement chart. I'm 5 feet tall and approximately 194 pounds after surgery. I am still swollen as well. I had lipo and a mini inner thigh lift. I ordered the 2xl (was in a 3xl in a different marena garment), and this one fit perfectly. I sleep in it as well, and take off to wash it by hand. Since I'm short, the legs do go further down my calf, but it's okay. By end of day my legs swell up badly from working so the extra compression is needed down my leg anyway. I slowly pull it up because it could tear if you aren't careful. So far I have been using this a couple of weeks and no issues. In another week or two I may size down (hope to) so I only ordered the one since they are expensive. I hope this is helpful to someone who is in need of a compression garment. I feel it's made well and it's comfortable too. It's fully pull on. No zippers or hooks. It does have the opening to use the restroom. But I don't use it. I pull it down from the top to use the bathroom.

My wife loves this. It is strong compression except it’s very long in the waist so buy smaller if you aren’t tall/ long waisted. The hole down below is big enough to do all your business which is vital cuz this is crazy hard to pull on and off(kinda the whole point). Speaking of which, the elastic part at the chest is VERY tight and became painful for my quite thin wife. She had to place a sock against her skin to make it bearable. But it doesn’t slip at all and that’s what she wanted. Highly recommended.

This faja is incredible. The quality is unmatched. Super comfortable and feels great during recovery.

I like this very much but it has pluses and minuses compared to the Isavela brand, which I've also tried. The crotch opening in the Marena brand is perfectly sized and placed to use the restroom without hassle or accidents. I love that. The Isavela opening is smaller and less convenient, for me at least. The fabric of the Marena is different from Isavela but both seem equally comfortable and durable. I have a short torso, and Isavela brand is definitely shorter in the torso. The Marena wrinkles/creases a little at the narrowest part of my waist because my torso isn't long enough to pull the fabric taut (if that makes sense). The shoulder straps and cut of the "boob scoop" under the bust differ as well. I find the Isavela more comfortable: wider straps, lower cut under the bust, and looser opening around the top. But the Marena is very flattering: the tighter band under the bust and higher-cut scoop push my boobs up, and the higher back coverage smooths any bra-line or back rolls. Both brands are similar in price. I'm happy with both but for different reasons. I think the biggest factor affecting which you should choose is torso length: if you have a longer torso, definitely go for Marena. Because returns aren't possible with this garment, I hope people find this comparison review useful.

I've been wearing these for 6 months. Almost finished. They have made a few good adjustments to the design during that time. Great quality! Very comfortable!

I can’t give this any stars only doing it because they make you. . Super disappointed in the stage 2. The stage one medium worked great. It still has some compression after my surgery. I tried the stage 2 and it’s so big. No compression very loose. I can’t return it because it’s past the return window. I also tried ordering smaller sizes of the stage 2. Still way too big. I don’t recommend for 2nd stage of surgery unless you are larger in size. I am 5-4 and 115-120 lbs. wish there was a way to get my money back. The sizing just doesn’t seem right.

Great support and fit

These are easy to take on and off. Using the bathroom is no problem. You can leave it on and not worry about any messes due to the design. I used this for post tummy tuck surgery. The fabric is soft and does not make you hot. I highly recommend this product.
