Compression garments- who wears them??



Recommended Posts

I have heard of folks wearing compression garments (Spanx, Wonder Unders) while wearing regular clothes but how about while exercising?

Im having some very embarrassing problems with extra, hanging skin. It slaps while Im running or doing certain exercises. Not only does it make an audible sound it kind of hurts and rubs. Plus I look just wonderful bouncing/jiggling around.

I do have Nike running tights and Under Armour shorts but it's just not enough. HELP

Am I the only one with this problem? Any suggestions for garments or where to purchase one?

Im about half way through my journey and have another 60 lbs more to lose before thinking about PS.

Thanks

You can fine Spanx at Lane Bryant or Macy's or Nordstrom's. I think they are a little expensive to exercise in. I wear a fitted body briefer everyday (although I don't have flabby skin) I like the smooth line it gives under my clothes. If you're simply going to exercise in them, I suggest some plain ole leggings that are heavy with the spandex

i wear Lipo in a box now. I used to wear Spanx but they are really thin and wear out too fast. Lipo in a box are amazing and smooth everything out and no bumps or bulges. and no slapping:wink_smile:

well worth the money and last so much longer than most Shapewear.< /p>

I got a pair of long leg SKINS. I wear them under my normal work out gear whenever I play sport or exercise. The feel great, prevent chafing and my legs don't get as much of the lactic acid jelly feeling after workouts

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
