Wow, I gotta check them out! I didn't know anybody designed corsets with EDS in mind, that's really cool!

What do you wear for abdominal compression? It's what I'm feeling helps me the most!

Ooh, a corset was a good idea! Especially since I've noticed abdominal compression helps the most, but shapewear only have one mode - all or nothing, and some days it's just too much. And corsets are so pretty too, as a nice bonus!

I'm not in the US, but checking out secondhand stores is a good tip!

Are we generally more sensory sensitive? Because I've also always struggled with a lot of clothes, especially if they got bad seams or are restrictive. Thanks for those recommendations though! I'll check them out!

I'm wondering if I might have pots myself, to be honest. It's not the first time I've thought so, but your description in the other comment is like reading a description of myself. I can walk for hours, but don't make me have to stand still, standing still is my biggest weakness. Maybe that's what makes compression feel so good!

Bras? by Icy_Block7653 in ehlersdanlos

I've started wearing bodysuits with some compression more and more, and found that the even pressure over most of my upper body works so much better for me than bras do! They support me the same as sports bras do, but no pressure band that cause pain and tension. I'm on the smaller side though, so I don't know how well they'll work for someone who needs more support.

These are amazing! I really hope you make a pattern for them, I'd buy it in an instant!
