FindingSassy 38 Posted December 27, 2014 Has anyone invested in compression garments? I hear they help keep things in place and help reduce skin stretching. I've checked out two sites and one is outrageously priced and the other is more reasonable. Any input is greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted December 27, 2014 I have. I bought yoga pants & a top from Lane Bryant and a few pairs of pants from Old Navy. I don't know if it helps but it keeps me from feeling all jiggly as I lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SugarFreeMe 293 Posted December 28, 2014 I was sent home with one from the hospital although they have similar versions at Walgreens. It was a compression belt that was about 8 or 10 inches long so it covered my torso. It helped immensely during the first couple of weeks. I highly recommend one.

InspirationMySon 135 Posted December 28, 2014 I buy shape wear from Maidenform it's their self expression line. They have ones that are just tank tops that you can wear with your own underwear or ones that have snap crotch built in underwear. They are priced from $22-$28 & can be found at Target & Walmart. I have lose skin & it helps me feel comfortable & look good in clothes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted December 28, 2014 I agree. In addition to my workout compression wear I have few body shapers that help me look better in clothes. I wear a lot of dresses so my favorite is this long slip. I prefer this over the ones that come to just above the knee and always manage to roll up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samantha Ann 46 Posted December 28, 2014 I wear a shaper under my clothes and shape leggings. I love them! I feel more like woman with them on. I didnt do the compression after surgery, I wish I did. I know it helps with the pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amyllf2 206 Posted December 30, 2014 I don't wear them. I'm down 102 pounds. Both my arms and my legs jiggle. So why not wear them? Because I figure come summer time it's going to be too hot to wear them and I need to get use to my body as is. In jeans and long sleeve shirts things look fine. And the pants squish in my belly anyway. The only thing I wear that keeps things in place is a sports bra that holds what use to be my boobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jess9395 5,449 Posted December 30, 2014 I wear Under Armor compression gear when I work out, run, or mtn. bike. Ditto. I wear it to run (usually under armor) but that's about it. And even then typically only for races or longer runs (over 6 miles) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
