I'm toying with the idea to purchase a corsage since i have a feeling that could be a bit of help re O.I.and POTS.

it looks like a corsage should put on more
pressure than an abdominal binder and oddly enough,where i live a corsage is even easier to find as a simple binder.
Has anyone tried this?

I am also interested what experiences you made with abdominal binders in general.

Helps a little with back pain / posture. Not noticed anything too significant POTS wise but I have read a study suggesting abdominal compression was most effective at preventing blood pooling.

someone brought me an abdominal binder but as expected, it seems it puts too little pressure to help.

I really d like to find something which makes me able to sit in a chair for half an hour.. at least on christmas.
if someone has tried a corsage please please let me know if it has helped or not.
